What ingredients makes a cake really tasty?

27 comments

1. Sugar, caramel, bacon bites, Almdudler.

2. I’m usually a little generous with my extracts and spices, maybe an extra tsp on vanilla or a slightly overflowing spoon of spice.

3. Hint of almond extract for vanilla cakes. Total gamechanger.

4. Using salt instead of sugar. I’ve made that mistake.

5. If you make a box cake add a pudding mix if from scratch sour cream makes chocolate cake really moist and delicious

6. It’s the butter

7. Sugar and butter, mostly. Chocolate helps.

8. Real butter, not margarine.

9. Love and affection.

10. Espresso powder in chocolate cake is amazing

11. ALMOND EXTRACT and real butter 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

12. Whatevers listed on the back of the box

13. Brown your butter.

14. Cannabutter

15. Sugar and butter mostly. The rest just adds variety. Oh, and real vanilla, not imitation

16. You gotta make sure you put enough salt. It fucking bugs me whenever someone under-salts/over-salts their cakes

17. High quality butter for me! I also found that whipping my own cream cheese frosting has made me a bit of a handmade frosting snob lol…

18. Vanilla bean.

19. -Buttermilk or yogurt to make it moist.
    -An extra pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

20. Sugar and fat…? That’s what makes all desserts tasty.

21. Salt. Never leave salt out of baked goods, it balances the sweet and enhances the flavors. Also add salt to your frosting

22. If a cake has strawberry ganache on it, I will straight up fight someone for the last piece . Not really, but… strawberry ganache .

23. Mayonnaise mixed into the batter makes it extra moist.

24. Sugar

25. [removed]

26. Simple syrup.

    It actually makes the cake super moist and is left out of like 98% of all cake recipes. I assume professional bakers just leave that step out because they just assume it’s a given and what everyone does by default but it’s not and we don’t.

27. Dairy free cream & milk, flaked almonds, disaronno, sugar, truffles, vanilla essence, vegan yoghurt.
