i've read alot of posts on using coffee creamer in place of water in recipes, i was wondering if you replace all of the water or just some of it.
also, should the batter be thicker than usual? i just made a batch of cc's using the enhanced cake mix recipe and substituted 1 cup of the water with international delights white choc. raspberry creamer. the batter was very thick(whipped cream like) the are in the oven- hope they turn out ok???? they sure smell good!

I would replace part of the water called for as it might be too sweet with all creamer.

I made a box cake and substituted 1/4 cup of water for the creamer.

It has just a hint of the flavor. Noticeable, but not overwhelming. I'd probably add a bit more next time. 1/3 or 1/2.

I use Pillsbury and use milk instead of water. I use 1 cup milk (2%) and 1/4 cup creamer. It turns out perfect! thumbs_up.gif

I used 1/2 recipe of the WASC and I put in 1/3 c of creamer. It wasn't enough. It did add a different base flavour but next time I will add more.

I've added the creamer to the butter cream as a filling and I am going to make a whipped cream icing tomorrow with more creamer.

I made the vanilla caramel kind once and replaced all the liquid in the cake and it was too sweet. The only one of my cakes that did not disappear. I will use a little less next time.

thanks everyone,
the cc's came out delicious. my son can't keep his hands off them, but then again he'd eat sugar right from the package. i'll wait for everyone elses opinion on their sweetness but i think their ok too.
thanks again!
