I am making the original WASC recipe which lists 1 tbl of flavoring like almond or vanilla. I want to use creme bouquet but am not sure how much to use.
Do I use the same amount or less?

My personal taste, I would use 1 tsp cb + 1 generous tsp vanilla; cb is strong. Add less, taste the batter and see what you like.

You are right Fullhouse, it was kinda strong. I used the full tbl. before I read your post. Funny though, it wasn't a strong citrus flavor in the cake but a lingering strong after taste on the tip of my tongue.

The first time I used CB in a cake I didn't use it again for months after because of the after taste. It wasn't until I read a post here that explained it is strong and best in small doses that I decided I like it. Try again icon_smile.gif .

I agree with those above. I only put about 1/4 tsp of cream bouquet in that recipe along with vanilla. Cream bouquet is VERY strong.
