Need Milk Substitute For "basic White Cake" Recipe
Decorating By gothgate Updated 15 Nov 2006 , 1:51pm by CupCake13
The "Basic White Cake" recipe (in the CC recipe section) calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk. is there anything (other than soy) that i can substitute for the milk in the recipe and still have it come out ok?
i'm baking for a class that has milk allergic kids in it. they're ok with the butter flavored crisco (already tried that last week on the oatmeal cookies), but i need something for the milk that's in cake mixes.
2nd question... if i don't have cake flour, can i just use all ap flour and sift it really well?
thanks,

Why can you not use soy?
There is a Rice milk in a carton by the evaporated milks in my store.
Can they eat goats milk? (don't wrinkle your nose. 
It really is creamy)
Are you close to a health food store? There are all kinds of milk substitutes these days.
You can use rice milk or rice milk/water for the milk:

HTH:
i don't want to use soy 'cause it tastes yucky 
just my opinion 
rice milk sounds just as bad, but i've never tried it. so i might give it a try if i can get over the instant nausea the name causes.
since milk is basically water with a fat in it, is it possible to just add water and up the amount of butter crisco to equal the volume of milk required?
i have used soy milk in place of milk for a cake and it came out fine and tasty. i don't like soy milk either, but in cake, it's great.

same here. I don't like the taste of soy milk, but on the many occassions where I have baked with it, I could not taste the soy milk. Only when it's plain do I taste soy milk.
