Hi!
I know this might sound like a dumb question...but does it make any difference if I put in the essence/flavouring at the last stage? ( ie after creaming butter, sugar, eggs then alternate flour/liquid/flour/liquid/flour) I know recipes always say after eggs then put in the flavouring/essence but in my case, i want to make a strawberry marble cake ( ie. strawberry cake batter marbled with plain vanilla cake). Can i just make the whole vanilla batch of batter then half the batter and put in the strawberry flavouring into the half batch and mix by hand/or slowly by mixer then alternate the two batters in the tin for a marble effect? will the flavouring work differently or taste differently? embarassed to ask but i've got to ask someone!

Thank you!
