I tried to make a WASC cake with a box of betty crocker milk chocolate and ewhhhh it did not taste like chocolate at all!!! Is it because I used milk chocolate? Do I need to get another chocolate flavor? The texture was wonderful but the flavor was the pits!!
Please help have to make a cake and have it done by tomorrow
and I don't want to keep experimenting with flavors
It's probably because of the extra ingredients being too much for the amount of chocolate in the mix.
I always use Duncan Hines, I don't think Betty Crocker mixes have the same amount they did when the wasc recipe was made. I also use a devils food or dark chocolate mix and then add a little instant coffee powder to the water before I mix it in, to boost the chocolate flavor.
It could be a number of things. First of all, the Betty Crocker cake mix no longer has as much mix so it might have thrown off the flavor. This is the recipe I have used in the past & everyone loved it. 1 Dark Choc Mix (I don't use BC)
1 c cake flour, 1 c of sugar, 3 TBS cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 pkg choc fudge pudding mix, 4 eggs, 1 c sour cream, 1 c coffee, 1 c chocolate milk, 3 TBS oil and you can also add 1 tsp of chocolate extract (I didn't use it)
could I add some cocoa powder? I have plenty of that
I replace some of the flour with cocoa powder. I usually replace about 1/4 of a cup per batch. I am sure you could add more, but that usually works for me. Plus strong coffee as the liquid, makes a big difference.
I made that milk chocolate mix once, and did not care for it. Normally I love milk chocolate, but not this time. I think for cakes the fudge and dark chocolate flavors are just better.
