I have read some about flavoring BC with Lorann oils but what about for cakes? I want to use a white cake mix with the extender and make it cherry flavored and have no clue how much oil flavoring to use to accomplish this. Unlike BC I can't really taste it before it is baked and know how it will taste after it is baked. Do cake flavors diminish or get more intense with baking?? icon_confused.gif Does anyone know?? TIA!! icon_biggrin.gif

In my experience they get stronger. But I have only used extracts, not oils like you're wanting to use.

You can use jello (dry) to flavor a cake, it works great.

I've used Lorann oils in my cake batter. I usually put a cap full in my batter. It is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. Lorann oils are suppose to enhance the flavor so I would use vanilla extract (however much recipe calls for) then add a cap full of vanilla lorann oil.

It really tastes delicious. Good Luck! icon_smile.gif
