Customer (my niece) has requested a vanilla cake with pineapple filling. I make a white cake for birthdays and such that people refer to as a vanilla cake. Although, most of the time I add almond flavoring because that's what my friends and family like. I did it once and eventually that's what people started asking for - - my "almond white" cake. This niece hasn't really had any of my cake that I can think of. Her mom is helping her with the wedding and said, vanilla cake, pineapple filling. So, I know she's not had my almost white....
So, I've never really focused on anything else. I am realize you can just make a cake taste more vanilla by using vanilla instead of almond flavoring.....but what ratio should I use? 1 tsp flavoring per batch of cake mix? That's what I do with my almond....
Maybe I should make sure she's actually wanting "vanilla" cake versus just a white cake? But, either way, I'd really like to know.
Thanks again! This is a great place and everyone is so helpful!!

Vanilla is less strong compared to almond. You can ask the bride if she really wants vanilla as a pronounced flavor or as you are thinking, just a white cake. I am very heavy handed with a combination of homemade vanilla and vanilla bean paste. You can add quite a bit before it gets to be too much. Also, vanilla and almond make a great combination. If you really like the taste of your almond cake, you could cut back slightly on the almond, for example maybe half, and still add a teaspoon or two of vanilla. Personally I add several tablespoons.
