I know I have read that some of you use flavored coffee creamer in your cake mix. I am wanting to try this but I'm not sure if I should replace all the water with the creamer or will it make it to thick?
Any suggestions would be great as I need to start baking soon.

I haven't used the liquid coffee creamer in cake, only frosting. I use the powedered creamer in my cakes. But from my understanding, you can substitute the liquid for equal amount of creamer. So if you need one cup of water, use one cup of creamer. I should have tried a search before I responded icon_smile.gif

I tried a search, but found nothing. I am making a bunt cake and was going to do a simple box cake which calls for 1 1/3 cups of water. Do you think that would be to strong to substitute all that with creamer?

I have been using 1/2 water and 1/2 liquid creamer and it comes out well. My husband loves the vanilla toffee caramel and he so picky.

I went thru some of the many posts. Most will do the half and half. A few CC'ers have done full strength coffee creamer. Let us know what you decided and how you liked your cake.

I just tried this today, I replaced 1/2 of the milk with creamer. It was so good, everyone loved the cake thumbs_up.gif

Well, thanks everyone. I was making a pumpkin cake using my bunt pans and therefore I was using a box cake mix without adding any additional ingred. My mix called for 1 1/3 c water so I added 1/2 of that in creamer. I kept all other ingred. the same as called for.
The cake didn't seem to rise as good as it should have. It seemed to be very dense. I did not get a chance to taste it, I sent it off to work with my friend that requested the cake. I told her to let me know what everyone thinks of it and I will pass it on to you all. My first impression is that it is going to have a pound cake consistency, which is fine with me.

Sorry but does this end up tasting like coffee?, which I dont drink, but I thought my parents who do drink it would love this, and I wouldnt mind trying?
