So half way through baking my chocolate wasc cakes I "remembered" that I forgot to add the almond and vanilla flavoring! Agghh! I knew I was too tired to be baking! icon_cry.gif Anyhoo, how bad is it going to be and is there anything I can do after the fact? Thanks! icon_redface.gif

Relax, it should be just fine! Just a 'milder' flavor of the original cake base!

Don't worry, once I use 2/3 of a cup instead of a 1 cup in my cake batter. It happens!!

No taste test...went to the freezer icon_wink.gif Just a side note as I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with the extracts...my 8" choc. wasc collasped. Guess it wasn't my night for baking. icon_rolleyes.gif

I had to throw away a double batch of chocolate cake today (2-10", 2-8" and 2-6") because I forget to add sugar!!!!
Who forgets sugar? Well apparently I do.

I have learned to measure everything out first. Then start mixing...not a good thing to have to start over.

Maybe you could have used the cake for trifle pudding or parfaits!! I find it really difficult to throw cake away! Just can't bring myself to do it!!! icon_biggrin.gif

today im making a 3 layer yellow cake that needs 1cup of butter and after i cut and weighed the butter i put the excess in another bowl and then hubby came into the kitchen to talk to me and then i picked up the wrong butter bowl (about 1/3 cup) and used that instead.... and didnt realize my mistake until everything was mixed and then, only then, i noticed the correct butter bowl sitting on the bench

*sigh* in the bin..... i hate wasting good produce
