When u bake a cake from the box, have u substituted water for anything else?

Question

I wanna try putting some carnation milk instead of the water. Will that work???

Answer 1

I've substituted apple juice and grape juice and cranberry juice for the water in white and yellow cakes;

In chocolate, I've substituted coffee for the water and the coffee helps bring out the flavor of the chocolate even better....

A friend of mine uses beer and cheese (shredded Cheddar) when making a packaged quick bread and it comes out tasting great.......Enjoy!!!

Answer 2

Yes, it will probably work. When I have used a box cake to make pineapple upside down cake, I have substituted pineapple juice for the water. I don't see why you couldn't substitute the milk.

Answer 3

Absolutely. The cake doesn't contain any yeast so its not like you have to add warm water for it to rise. You can absolutely add milk instead of water. In fact, I think the cake will be more creamy and tasty. In fact, most cake recipes call for milk instead of water. Water is used when making things that aren't sweet such as pizza dough

Answer 4

No, not carnation but you can use any milk or half and half. Carnation makes the cake very sticky and too moist.

Answer 5

I wouldnt put Carnation Milk.

Answer 6

if you sub milk for water, expect it to brown a bit more than it would w/ water.

But if making a pineapple upside down cake, I use the juice from the p/a in teh cake mix instead of water.

Answer 7

Yes.... sometimes I mix up the liquid I put into my cakes instead of water.... like some types of juices and whatnot... they turn out pretty well.

Answer 8

i used milk but never carnation

Answer 9

It probably will work but I usually use buttermilk, it actually makes the cake alittle moister. . .

Answer 10

I have used milk and it worked out fine- tasted somewhat better!
