No. Vanilla is a flavor. Many things can have a vanilla flavor; shakes are one example. Ice cream is another. It is a common ingredient in baked goods such as cookies. 'Vanilla' often refers to vanilla extract, which is the source of the flavor. It comes from vanilla beans. Vanilla extract is a liquid that you add (in very small amounts) to give something a vanilla flavor.
adding vanilla to a cake gives it more flavor.
Because Red Velvet cake is basically vanilla cake with red food coloring you could add any flavor you want. If the flavor you are adding does not go with vanilla you could just swap it out. Hope this helps :o)
In a cake, vanilla essence helps to add to the flavor and aroma of the cake, along with bring out some of the deeper, richer tones of other flavors.
You don't necessarily NEED vanilla extract in cookies, but it vanilla extract does add flavor to the recipe. I have accidentally left it out of a cookie recipe before, and you can definitely tell the difference. Without the vanilla extract, the cookies taste very bland.
You could add coke for a bubbly taste
Yes, but it is best to use the vanilla extract sparingly, then gradually add just a drop at a time until you reach the desired strength of vanilla flavor.
Heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips. You can add liquor or vanilla for added flavor.
To begin you wouldn't use vanilla extract, you would use vanilla cream. You only need a little so when you pour just pour as you count. 2 pours should do it, you don't need much.Another viewPure Vanilla extract is fine to add flavor to a carafe of fresh brewed coffee. You may add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per cup depending on your taste preferences.
Well, some people like to add extra flavor with the vanilla extract to make the chocolate extra sweet.
Even though vanilla taste bad by itself, it can taste different when you add ingredients because vanilla is such a thin (not as powerful) formula it is easy for other ingredients to sink into it. For Example: If you add sugar to vanilla it will change its flavor because the sugar has made it more sweet. The same thing will happen with brown sugar, too. If you add a wiped egg yolk with vanilla it will also change its taste because an egg yolk has a different flavor. The flavors will combine to make a new one. Vanilla might have a strong taste but it is not a strong ingredient.
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.
