Hi Everyone,

A few days ago I had dinner with DH in an Italian restaurant. and for dessert he had this pastry filled with Nutella, Mascarpone , nougat and drizzling of caramel. On the side it had ice cream. It tasted heavenly and I had to ignore my Pana Cotta just to eat that pastry with DH.

My question is, do you think it would be a good filling? And do you think it would pair up with vanilla cake or chocolate cake?

I didn't get a notification to your reply! That sounds amazing!!

Yes, I would definitely use that in cake. Maybe a caramel cake? But either white or chocolate or even cafe late flavor would be great, too.

I'm so excited!! I've been going nuts trying to figure out a no-fail way to produce the Orange cake with consistency and great flavor... I've found it! Albeit, a tad expensive.

I was picking up peach puree at Bev Mo and saw TGIF's Orange Dream ($13 for 1.75 liters). It does have vodka in it, but that is a good thing since it means the drink will last practically indefinitely in the fridge.

I had to add extra orange flavoring (used a dram of LoRann's orange, but you could use 2 tsp of orange extract), but the texture of the cake was spot on, not even a hint of sinking! I'm so excited I could pee, lol.

Good for you! How much of the liquid did you replace with the Orange Dream? Inquiring minds want to know. LOL

lorannoils.com has a new Cola flavor. Use diet Cola for all of the liquid, and add the Cola flavoring, but try 1/2 tsp before adding the entire dram. The concentrated flavors can add quite a bang for their buck.

Has anyone tried WASC with angel food cake mix? I was about to, then decided not to waste my time when I realized there were 2 pouches, one flour and one egg white mix.

Considered dumping them both together and proceeding with WASC recipe... then thought I'd ask first.

NO NO NO

The first pouch is egg white powder and sugar to be whipped to a good meringue with water. The second pouch is flour-sugar-flavour to be folded in before baking.

Just stash this away for the time when you need angel food cake and don't want to use eggs. It's usually pretty decent if you add vanilla extract.

BUT, has anyone tried it? I'm not looking for an angel food cake texture, just a lighter texture. I may give it a shot next week using 1/4 recipe just to see what happens...

I can't believe the last post was in April, according to what is visible on my monitor. As active as this post is, I sometimes get dropped from the watched topic list. Posting to see if anything new has happened. This is one thread I don't want to lose track of! icon_biggrin.gif

I haven't seen Sweet Wise. If it is a true pastry filling (not like the canned fruit fillings) then it should not soak into cake.

Bavarian cream is great with champagne cake and red velvet, or a Nilla Wafer cake (sub finely ground Nilla wafers for 1 cup of the flour) with sliced bananas and a bavarian cream filling.

Bavarian filling is good with Creme Brulee cake too!

Add an extra egg white (9 whites total).

For some reason, it's really hard to get a good texture with strawberry cake! I've been wanting to try 2-2/3 cups melted strawberry ice-cream with extra strawberry extract.




If I'm understanding this post correctly, you add the sour cream, vanilla and almond extract as per the original WASC recipe? Only alterations would be the extra egg white, no water, add puree and sprite?
Thanks!!

I looked up the recipe for that shot and it's basically butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream so if I were going to do this personally I would make an Irish Cream cake which is in the google doc and add Butterscotch schnapps to my buttercream.

If you want to do it the other other way(butterscotch cake/Irish Cream frosting) you could use the standard wasc, add 1 small box of butterscotch pudding to the recipe. I would then als do 1/2 butterscotch schnapps and 1/2 water for the liquid. For the frosting sub some of the liquid with Irish Cream. They even have Irish Cream flavored coffee creamer now but I haven't tried it yet.

I have not had that particular shot but to me anything with Irish cream in it is a hit. I also saw somewhere that some people put grenadine in it. If you do we could probably adjust the recipe further.

Hello everyone! This has got to be one of the greatest topics I have ever read. There is so much great info. Thank you all for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I was wondering if anyone has tried using pomegranate in a cake (whether it be in the cake itself, filling or icing)? I have a wedding cake request for October and this flavor, along with pears, apples, figs(?!), and cranberries, was something the bride had asked if were possible to use. She wants to stay within the Fall theme of the wedding. I am drawing a blank as to where to start. Does anyone have any ideas of cakes with these flavors and what other flavors go well with these as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated icon_smile.gif Thank you!
