I'm new to all of this and I kept hearing about WASC cake so I figured I'd give it a try. I used the recipe on here that is called the Original WASC recipe. I used a yellow DH box mix for the base and added all the other ingredients according to the recipe. The recipe called for 1 tbsp of flavoring so I used 1/2 almond and 1/2 vanilla. The cake baked beautifully and smelled wonderful. It had the perfect amount of moisture and a good crumb. My husband said it tasted like there was an alcohol aftertaste though. Tasted like wedding cake to me. Anyway, should I cut back the amount of flavor from 1 tbsp? or should I not mix the 2 flavors? Any advice would be welcome!
Could your flavorings be bad? WASC is very popular with my clients and I have never heard that complaint
Some of the people I work with just don't like anything with almond extract - so I don't use it.
brand new flavorings but it could be the almond flavor that he just wasn't used to. I had never baked with almond before. So, do all of you use a complete Tbsp of a single flavor or do you have any suggestions for combos?
Yep, I'd bet it was the almond. I never use it, we don't like it. I use either just vanilla or with a tiny bit of butter flavor.
Thanks for all the tips ya'll! Can't wait to try it again!
