How does cake taste like

You're not physically submerging your cake in anything—just giving it a little extra moisture. Make simple syrup and add a couple tablespoons of bourbon or lemon juice. Then poke holes all over your cake with a toothpick, and drizzle the mixture over the surface. Check out ganache , caramel sauce , or even some simple whipped cream. Place your flat palm on the cake's surface while you cut—it'll help you get the layers more even. Here are 20 of our favorite cake recipes.

Go nuts. Not right away. Super common in USA to use cake mix. We have half a grocery isle dedicated to any kind of flavor cake mix you want along with tons of icing to choose from. Not to mention all the brownie mix boxes as well. I have been using this method for the past 6 months and it works every time!! Plusit can also get expensive to make from scratch all the time and you can always have a cake mix on hand for only about a dollar a box! Nothing at all wrong with it, i think someone just has a little too much pride….

You do actually bake a cake mix yourself…lol. Makes no difference here in the USA! Young Baker just has too much pride I guess. Hi Lori — thanks for taking the time to comment and let us know how it works for you!

Going to try this soon and will let you know how it goes. In the meantime, wanted to share something I have done for years that is really simple. I make the cake as directed on the box but add one egg. We love Bluebell Ice Cream at our house so it is generally my go to brand, but any good brand will do.

I will use a flavor that works well with the flavor cake I am making. However, ice cream like Praline and Cream is awesome. Banana Nut works wonderful with a Banana flavor, Pistachio is great with a white cake with a little extra Almond extract. People are always asking…. Many ways to experiment but I think you get the idea. Have fun! I am totally trying your recipe and posting it here with pics and I will come back and tag you, too!! In that case, you can simply add salt and baking powder, and your cake will rise just fine.

Keep in mind that substitutes might be good, but they can change the flavor and texture of the cake. So, if your cake tastes like cornbread, see if you used the right ingredients or not. For instance, if you add too much flour with additives, it can create the cornbread flavor. So, stick to the recipe and measuring cups if you want to make perfect cakes. We are saying this because using expired baking powder and baking soda might be the reason behind cornbread flavor and flat texture.

So, whenever you have to bake the cake, buy the fresh baking ingredients. So, make sure to check the product labels and add the right ones.
