Use a whisk and it will turn out the same as using an electric mixer. ENJOY!!!
I can’t say for sure, sometimes adding milk does add a nice creaminess but it also almost takes away that deep rich chocolate taste, if you do try milk, you will want to warm it but not fully boil.
I’m choosing between cakes to make for my mom’s birthday and judging from these comments, this seems like the one to pick! Just one question though: my family is a dairy family, we usually eat dairy foods. Do you think it would taste better with milk instead of water? Let me know what you think.
I’m choosing between cakes to make for my mom’s birthday, and all these comments show that this is the one to pick! Just one question; do you think it would taste even better if it were dairy? We are a dairy family, we like milk a lot. Could that replace water?
it’s a great moist cake recipe, but i added a heaping dessert spoon’s worth of cinnamon, and it is absolutely divine that way!!!
thank you
This cake turned out to be so delicious and moist! I did not have an electric mixer on hand either, so I whisked all of the ingredients together by hand. As you add the boiling water, the batter becomes more easy to stir, so there was no clumping or difficulty there. Thank you for sharing this!
would this recipe work without an electric mixer? can it be done by hand? and if so, how would you suggest it be done? thank you.
I have not tried it, but I am told one of the best ways egg subs for cakes is flaxseeds – 1 tablespoon flaxseeds, ground mixed with 3 tablespoons water will replace 1 egg, let me know how it works out.
Sound yummy. Is there a way to replace the eggs with another ingredient?
