how can i make cakes super moist?

Answer 1

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

1. 5 cups of all purpose flour (can substitute with wholewheat flour)
3 tablespoons of sifted good quality cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white or vegan brown sugar
0. 5 teaspoon salt (optional)
5 tablespoons canola oil (can substitute with any veg. oil or even olive oil)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water

By far the most surprisingly deeelightful cake. This recipe is great for adults and for kids ages 3 and up.

1. Put your flour into mixing bowl, add cocoa, baking soda, vegan sugar and salt and mix well.

2. Make three deep holes in the dry mixture. Into one, pour the oil, into the next, pour the vinegar into the next, pour the vanilla.

3. Pour the water into the bowl, over all of this--- making a great big mess.

4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until there aren't any more lumps and pour into a 9 inch by 9 inch baking pan, two inches deep, it doesn't even have to be greased.

5. Bake at 350 for about half an hour, test with a fork.

Enjoy this delicious cake. You will be surprised at its moistness and richness!!!!! It can be cooled and iced with your choice of icing or can be enjoyed on its own. The batter can also be used to make cupcakes!!

TIP OF THE DAY: for an instant cake, have the premeasured, premixed dry ingredients at hand, then simply add the wet ingredients when you want a fresh treat! It makes a great birthday cake! Hey, it even freezes well!

Preparation time: 15 min. + 30 min. bake.

Answer 2

Freezing a cake for a day or two before decorating helps to keep it moist. Also, don't overbake it. Another suggestion is to add sour cream to the batter. About 6 ounces (or 3/4 cup) is a good amount. I wouldn't change any of the things that already exist in the recipe, as that will alter how well your cake bakes, whether it rises properly, etc.

Answer 3

Use mayo instead of oil... I know it sounds gross, but trust me it really works! My whole family asks me to make cake every time we get together... The cake will be ultra moist and stays moist alot longer than a regular cake. Enjoy!

1 box of cake mix 500g
1 cup Hellmann's mayo
1 cup water
3 eggs

Mix together and bake according to box of cake mix.

Answer 4

I think it depends on the amount of butter you use.... more the butter, more moist the cake (but also more richer = more calories!!!)

Another way would be to pour some liquid over the cake - don't completely drench it though. Use fruit juices, liqueurs etc for this....also adds flavour.

Answer 5

1 Duncan Hines Yellow (or White) cake mix
4 egg whites
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 small pkg of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup sour cream

Incorporate all ingredients together one by one on low speed.

Make sure to mix thoroughly between each ingredient.

Once all ingredients are mixed turn mixer to medium and mix for approximately 2 minutes.

Answer 6

A little bit of apple sause in some cakes can make them really moist

Answer 7

I always add a little extra oil to mine. About 1/8 - 1/4 cup extra is about what I use. Good luck!

Answer 8

try adding applesauce as part of the liquid required, it gives the cakes a really lovely texture and doesnt effect the taste.

Answer 9

Try adding potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes) to
the cake mix.

Answer 10

More oil into the mix. If you wish to make it taste even better use butter. However, the fat content will be ever so high. I would use the oil......
