Let them Vape Cake!

Most of the time I’ve found it hard to make a simple cake recipe, invariably those mixes end up with around 8 ingredients. Sometimes more! :crazy_face:
Therefore not simple, and leads to the issue of balancing the mix with all those flavours.
For me to get the cake part forward it can take layering about 3 cake flavours and probably a biscuit/cookie just for the base. Proportionately more than 3/4 of the total mix. A light touch of cream/custard and then what ever flavour that I want the cake to be.
Say it’s strawberry, well then there’s another 2-3 added ingredients. But fruits I use very light in cakes compared to other ways I use that fruit.
Easy for a cake to get out of control, but I do enjoy a good cake vape with my coffee. :drooling_face:

Are you letting your test mixes steep before concluding it tastes too light? The way you wrote this it sounds like you’re taste testing immediately, then adding flavors to make it better.

Let them steep first then do your testing. If the mix still doesn’t taste right after 5-7 days then look at modifying the recipe, mix up another version, steep again etc. Repeat until you like the taste.

Cakes are (typically) lighter than most custards (not all), so it’s REALLY going to depend on which of each you are using (or more), and the percentages or ratio between them. My experience has been that custards can EASILY overwhelm many/most cakes. You could try some 2:1, 3:1 cake:custard to see how you can lower the custard enough where it doesn’t overwhelm, but contributes or enhances the cake(s).

Think of Custard as your egg IRL when makimg a cake recipe…I like using Premium by FA if im doing a bakery at .5 to 1pct…So ya if your using Custard high your definetely right

I think it depends on the recipe you are working with. You did not share which flavors or the percentages you have been using. Post the recipe here so we get a better understanding.

Here you can see how the custard can complement a bakery:

You can try it without Cantaloupe, it’s a delicious Donut even without fruit.

Ya 1.3pct of Cap VC makes sense especially with the 4.5pct of donut base …Tbis is exactly what I meant by using .5 to 1 pct of Premium …Great Example
