Ways To Spice Up Your Carrot Cake Recipe?
If you enjoy eating carrot cake as a sweet treat but are beginning to get a little tired of your existing carrot cake recipe, you might wonder how you can tweak it without ruining the results. It is true that you should follow certain measurements when baking so that you won't ruin the results, but there are a few things that you can do to make your next carrot cake really special. First of all, consider the presentation of your existing carrot cake recipe. If you have never decorated your cake, you should consider doing so. There are plenty of stencils, tips and other tools that you can use to easily decorate your carrot cake, and you can look for inspiration on the Internet and in magazines. Many people think that they aren't artistic enough to decorate cakes, but you might be surprised by what you can do if you give it a try. You can even consider making carrot cake cupcakes in cute cupcake liners; not only will this allow you to present your carrot cake in a new and different way, but it will also help you reduce the portion size that each person eats. Baking your cake in a uniquely-shaped pan is another exciting idea. If it is the flavor of your cake that you would like to change, you should consider a few add-ins. Adding a little brown sugar or cinnamon can give your carrot cake a new taste, and you can always consider stirring in walnuts, pecans, raisins or other tasty ingredients. Changing up your frosting is another wonderful way to give your old carrot cake recipe a new taste. Cream cheese frosting is traditionally served on carrot cake, but you can use another type of frosting if you wish, or you could stir in a flavoring oil for a whole new flavor. It is always a good idea to get creative in the kitchen, and tweaking your existing recipes is always a lot of fun. You might find that you prefer eating your carrot cake in a different way, or you might enjoy the temporary change. You can always look for new recipes as well.
What if you put olive oil in the cake mix?
It will change the consistancy of the cake mix, and also the taste. Olive oil tends to be much thicker and heavier than vegetable or canola oils, which are typically used in cake mixes.
