adding vanilla to a cake gives it more flavor.
Vanilla extract is an alchohol based product. If you add vanilla too soon, the flavor will disapate before the candy is done because of the boiling. The boiling will evaporate the alchohol.
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.
Because if you don't the cake will blow up
You can add cocoa to it. Also, you can try adding some chocolate chips or melted chocolate into the mix, along with some vanilla extract.
Obtain plain cake recipe, and add around a table spoon of extract and possibly even some fine grained vanilla beans or something. That should work just fine :)
well it depends what kind of cupcakes they are. only put them in vanilla, chocolate, or butter cake mix. they don't work well with other flavors. and if you put them in add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mix for vanilla or butter cake. and add 2 teaspoons of chocolate sauce or cinnamon for chocolate cake. (i bake cakes for a living trust me)
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 think you should put a few drops of vanilla essence into normal cake mixture and then add white chocolate chips.

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.
To get a dark cake on the Moshi Monsters Cupcake Game, add the cocoa to the mix.
