2% because the fat in the milk when baked absorbs the sugar , makes the cake more moist
shreddings of milk chocolate should go on mud cake.
No. Egg custard, or custard is made with egg yolks, milk and sugar. It is a pudding, in german or american cuisines. It can be baked into pies, added to cakes or pastries or baked and served as is.
After slicing and in dish, pour milk over it.
To make a delicious tres leches cake using yellow cake mix, follow the instructions on the cake mix box to bake the cake. Once the cake is baked and cooled, poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Mix together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream, then pour this mixture over the cake. Let the cake soak in the milk mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
Custard, icing or some sort of sauce. Or even milk! :P Source: Me
The primary use for eggs is to act as a binding agent. They hold the cake together once it has been baked, so it does not crumble or fall apart too easily. They also add a glossy finish to the cake, make it smooth and moist, and add flavor.
A pumpkin flan is similar to a custard cake wherein its main ingredients are pumpkin, eggs, milk, and sugar. It can be either be baked or steamed.
You can substitute half and half for milk in a recipe by using an equal amount of half and half as the amount of milk called for in the recipe.
You can probably get away with it. I would add 1 teaspoon of oil for each cup. Water tends to produce more of a crust on baked goods than milk.
Tofu. You can whip equal parts soft tofu with water and it bakes just like an egg. 1 oz tofu with 1 oz water equals 1 egg. If you dont whip all the lumps out you may see them in your cake because they wont desolve all the way. But tastes fine because tofu has a bland flavor. Supposedly the gel from soaking flax seeds in warm water can be used as an egg white replacement in the case of most baked goods (e.g cakes, biscuits.) I doubt it would work in a meringue though.
If your cake is too dry, a classic fix is to add a little liqueur. You can do this by sprinkling some directly on the top, but a better method is to cut the cake in half so you have two large circles or squares. Heat the liqueur with a dash of sugar and then brush both cut sides with it. Reassemble the cake and frost as usual.
