Making Cakes Moist: Replacing Water with Milk

[nikked]

One of my new gals shared that whenever she makes a cake, she replaces any water with milk. I did this last night for a three layer chocolate cake, and, boy, was it MOIST! Definitely something I'm going to be doing in the future, and mentioning at shows!

Just wanted to share!

I shared on another thread that you can do the same with melted ice cream of any kind. Makes it so good!!

I'll have to try that! I also add a couple Tbs of milk to most all my cookie recipes, keeps them moist too!

I add milk to my sausage balls b/c one of the reasons they are not my fav is they are so dry and this makes them much better.

take time offI dont cook mine as long either. I always check my cakes a couple of minutes before the baking time. As long as my cake tester is clean its done. The extra time dries them out too. Just think how moist your moist cake will be by taking a minute or two off the cooking time
