If I were making a cake (from scratch) could I substitue the 1 cup milk for anything else?

Answer 1

Yes, Soy or Rice milk or any other cow milk substitute i.e. goat, et cetera. I would not suggest water though but you can do that too. My mother always used these liquids since I am allergic to milk. I am not only lactose intolerant but also cow milk intolerant.

Answer 2

Yes there are various things to substitute with. Water,Yogurt,Applesauce or Vegetable Oil and here are a couple recipes that might help =)

Answer 3

Plain yogurt,yes, but you would need to add a little water, also.

8 ounces milk = 2 ounces yogurt + 6 ounces water.

The same formula for milk based pudding or sour cream.

Or you could use regular cream as well.

8 ounces milk = 7 ounces cream + 1 ounces water.

In case you don't know it, 1 cup = 8 ounces.

Sorry, typed it wrong the first time and corrected it.

Additional: Do not use an extra egg or butter (margarine, oil) as some suggest. Eggs will leaven the cake and butter will shorten the batter.

Answer 4

One cup milk:

1 cup soy milk
1 cup spring water or juice
1/4 cup nuts or seeds blended with
1 cup water
1/3 cup shredded coconut blended with 1 cup water and 1 tsp vanilla
1 cup any other milk substitute available in your grocery or health food store

Answer 5

I combine sour cream & water to replace milk. The sour cream makes the cake moister and adds a nice flavor (think sour cream cookies or donuts). I mix about 1/3rd sour cream & 2/3rds water.

Water, formula, powder milk(the kind that you have to mix stuff into the powder to make it), also, some sites for you
