hi..

This may sound like such a silly question but.. i am wondering if there are things you can put inside the cake before you cook it.. um.. how do i explain this..

I live in new zealand so some of the terms you guys use for things i am unsure of.. but we have this caramel condensed milk that i use in muffins.. you put half of the batter in the pan then put hte caramel stuff and then more batter.. would that work in a cake?

what other types of things can u put in like that before you cook it?

sorry for my bad explanation! hope someone knows what im on about lol

thanks icon_smile.gif

I think you can! Sounds yummy! I would use that instead of your milk or water to mix your cake. Or use half of that milk with the other half regular milk..I think?!

You can also use coffee creamer, brewed coffee, orange juice, lemon juice! Come up with things on your own!

Have fun baking!

We know what your talking about! You can do the same thing with blueberrys or other types of berrys just dust them in flour first so they dont sink. You could do jam or chocolate and swirl it in. I also have made a recipe where you make a streusal and you put half your batter in and then your blueberrys and then more batter and more streusal. I would just let your imagination go wild!

Wait a second.... are you saying you don't mix in the condensed milk you just pour it on top of the batter in the muffin cup right?

i get a box of pudding and put it int he cake batter while its in the mixer...i bought a huge can the other day ..its like a bulk can...and i put 1/2 cup of pudding in the cake..makes it soo moist and good..any flavor that you like just put it rightinto your cake mix and mix it up ..does anybody else use pudding in their cakes?

Do you mean already mixed up/cooked pudding instead of the powdered stuff?

I use 1/2 a box of the pudding mix that's inside the box. (dry) My mom just did this again the other day with the lemon and the cake tasted sooo good!

Good to know! I've been having a heck of a time finding the coconut cream pudding mix that a add to my coconut cake (it's not on the shelves anywhere I shop anymore icon_cry.gif ), so I was thinking about using the already made stuff. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it now.

it would seem to me that if you are adding some pudding that is already mixed up that you would have to decrease liquid from other sources by some amount or no problems?


I just subbed strawberry yogurt for half of the sourcream in the extender recipe (because I ran out of sour cream). It was DH white and was totally yummy. just a hint of flavor! I love it! (Actually I used two tubes of strawberry gogurt - cause that is what I had! icon_lol.gif )

I do that to my "dulce leche cakes" (condensed milk cooked on a double boiler for about 2 hours then once it's cold and you open the can it looks like caramel) all the time, I also do it with heath bar, almonds, etc.
