usually, vanilla cake recipe's call for vanilla extract. If you want to change that to an almond flavour all you have to do is replace vanilla extract with almond extract and maybe sneak some ground almonds in there for added texture and flavour.
Almond extract adds a nutty flavor to baked goods.
You can! Extracts substitute for one another fairly well. The main change will be the flavour.
Yes, it's lovely in a plain cake to add a little bit of flavor.
almond extract can be added in any recipe where vanilla is called for. It is very good in chocolate Irish cream cheesecake.
Yes, you use the same measurement of almond extract that you would of almond flavoring. (Although sometimes you may find that the flavoring is marginally stronger than the extract, in which case you may want to add slighlty more extract. However it's personal taste, really).
No. You cannot add pumpkin puree to a baked cake. You'll need to figure out how to make pumpkin frosting instead. You can add some of the pumpkin puree to the cake batter before the cake is baked. You could find some ideas for making pumpkin cake online by performing an internet search using, "pumpkin cake ".
It depends on how much of a blueberry flavor you want. For the average amount of cake batter, add about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of extract.
well it's simple you just add.....lets say you want it to smell like almond...just add almond extract! Easy right!!
yes
Vanilla extract will be fine if that's all you have. If you have an almond-flavour liqueur, like Amaretto, you can use that. Or get creative with other nut flavours, like Frangelico (hazelnut).You can also add finely ground almonds if you feel they will fit in with the texture of your recipe.
a cake a cake
This is more of a matter of taste I'd say, however, I'd suggest using Mint Extract in place of the normal vanilla. Vanilla extract is called for in most chocolate cake recipes, it enhances the chocolate flavoring, to make a mint cake, just substitute a mint extract for the vanilla.
Eggs add moisture to a cake and also act as the main ingredient that helps to hold the cake together in its shape while it is baked.
Usually you do, yes. More Information: Vanilla improves the flavor of cake, but it is possible to bake cake without adding any flavoring other than the natural flavor of the butter, sugar and other ingredients. Alternatively, other flavor extracts may be used in place of vanilla, such as almond, lemon or orange, rum, brandy, and so forth.
I have used rum extract, almond extract, anise extract, and a bit of whiskey or vodka, or nothing at all, in place of vanilla in many different recipes including frosting. All without substantially causing a failure in the recipe. [The peppermint frosting went on chocolate cupcakes.] The vanilla is only to give the frosting a flavor other than just bland. Experiment at will.
you just need about 1/2 a cap full of it, as lemon is a strong flavor
