I just bought some Vanilla Butter Nut extract and I am wondering if you would share your favorite ways or recipes to use it with.

Thanks!

My favorite is in a yummy pound cake.

How much do you add to your pound cake? I don't want it to be overpowering. I am not sure how strong this extract is. I usually add around 1 T in a pound cake with 3 C of flour and sugar.

my dad's favorite cake is a butternut cake, this is what he wants for father's day-this cake is VERY sweet (icing)

what's so funny about your request is that i'm going to trick him this father's day and make a box cake & add the extract & doctor it some, the other is from scratch & i really love making it, i just wont have the time or money this year

i can't find the recipe to tell you how much extract to use --i'm looking...

i hope i can fool him--it's just that the icing makes the cake & i'm going to make it--if i can find the stupid book

i did a quick internet search, found a recipe that called for 2T for cake 1T for icing


still looking

I've used it in my chocolate chip cookies and they come out very good. Just use the same amount as I would have vanilla.
