HEEEELP......I'm stuck in a vanilla/chocolate rut and need some help. What is your favorite cake/filling/icing combination? What flavor combo really knocks your family/friends/clients socks off? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I started using the liquid coffee creamers in my cake batters and everyone loves them! I now do a vanilla cake batter and add in the Caramel Hazelnut coffee creamers and they go crazy for it.

One of my favorites is a scratch butter cake (very moist) with fresh lime filling & raspberry buttercream. It is delish!!!

Bake Queen, how much of the coffee creamer do you use in your cake batter? Do you replace the milk or other liquid or do you just add it like a flavoring 2 or 3 tsp?
i_heart_pastry thanks for idea of lime filling. I do have a recipe for lemon curd, but I've never tried a lime filling. And I do love raspberry!
Thanks!

Nalis,

I like the intense flavor of the creamer so I replace some of the milk by adding 3/4 to 1 cup of creamer to each cake batter.

I love adding extracts to my recipes too. I have quite a collection of them.

The coffee creamer idea sounds wonderful. Especially now that I've seen flavors like chocolate raspberry and vanilla caramel.

here is a mocha dream cake from the coffeemate website:

Have been searching all over this Site for a good frosting/filling for WASC cake -- just for a Wow cake to bring to work to celebrate all my Fair ribbon winnings . Am bringing in My Hershey BakeOff Blue ribbon cake, but didn't want to bringin 2...well, because of the cost. (Am feeling a little broke )

so can someone tell me where the thread is on different flavors or does someone have a good frosting to use with WASC? I guess I COULD use just regular BC, but it's kinda boring next to the Hersey.

GI sorry I can't help you with filling recipes, but just a suggestion why don't you use a raspberry and/or raspberry BC filling for your WASC cake. Or Chocolate AND raspberry filling?? Just a suggestion. I also wouldn't mind it if you wanted to share your blue ribbon Hershey cake recipe with me

I created a cinnamon-hazelnut filling that works wonderful with white/french vanilla cakes. I also altered a recipe here and made a whipped WHITE chocolate-Rum ganache I've used for filling. I love unwhipped ganaches for filling, actually .

GI I got the recipe thanks! I can't wait to taste it!
Physical torture??? I can only imagine you are referring to working out????

I just made the banana cake out of the WBH book and filled it with French custard and iced it with chocolate glaze. It is - hands down - the cake that I have received the most rave reviews on. I had a piece myself and it was completely fabulous.

I also love yellow cake with a whipped chocolate orange ganache filling (sort of like a jaffa cake - yummy) and chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling.

White coconut cake with key lime filling is fabulous in the summer time (or those winter days when you need to be reminded of summer!).

Thanks allie73! Those are great flavor combos. I especially like the chocolate orange ganache. My mom and I tried a chocolate orange candy and loved it

Chocolate orange does sound good! I love chocolate and lemon fillings too.

I was messing around with some fillings and came up with a great chocolate raspberry filling.

I used my grandmothers homemade raspberry preserves and added a bit of water. I put that in a pan on the stove for a little bit to thin it out. then I strained it into a bowl to get out the seeds then put it back on the stove. I added 2 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate and a bit of powdered sugar. After that melts, put it into a bowl and cool. Add a bit of heavy cream and whip it up to thicken it. It tastes spectacular! Now I just need to figure out what kind of cake to pair it with
