I have never flavored a cake before but I bought some flavor oils today. What is the best way or formula to use these correctly? I am using the Wilton Basic White Cake recipe and I will be coloring the layers as well.
Thanks!

First off WELCOME to CC -- better known as your new addiction! icon_lol.gif

As for flavoring cake batters, you would be better off using either extracts or emulsions. They are more liquidy, yet flavorful enough to give the batter a lift in flavor. Hope that helps some! icon_biggrin.gif

i personally use extracts. but when i flavor my cakes i put the flavoring in after everything is mixed together. with the oils, i would start with a teaspoon, taste it after adding and mixing. if you think it neesd more i would go 1/2 teasp. at a time, mixing in between addings and tastings. HTH
