If a yellow pound cake (specifically the pound cake in the cake mix doctor book) calls for whole milk, will I ruin the recipie if I use 2% milk instead? I want to make it tonight but don't want to go to the store. I am feeling rather lazy tonight. Thank you!

The best cooking and baking is done with whole milk. if it says whole milk, I'd stick with it. It most likely won't ruin the cake if you are too "lazy" as you say, to go get a small carton of whole milk.

Thank you. It doesn't help that it is freezing and we just got 8 inches of snow. That is where the laziness comes into play.

haha, well. all our snow is melting today, but I still don't want to go out in it.

I'm not one that finds it hard to drink either whole or 2% milk. I like them both equally, but I try to have whole milk on hand all the time, just for cooking and baking. Not everyone thinks that way.

I don't blame you for not wanting to go out in the cold.

I have used 2 percent milk in pound cake before and it did fine. I have also used buttermil and that worked too.

I am also lazy...so I would probably use the 2 percent! icon_smile.gif

I can't blame you at all for not wanting to go out in the cold! I live in Houston...People freak out here with just a little bit of ice!!! icon_biggrin.gif

Thank-you!

I have had 2 very busy weekends...I get so tired at the end that I hope I still do a good job.

So far...I do not have any orders for this weekend...I am actually glad! icon_biggrin.gif

I can only imagine! Your cakes are so smooth. What kind of icing do you use? I am still trying to master the smooth cake!
