Charlotte Finnegan that offense to people who cat lose weight because of health issues

[@the4thtimelord477]

@@charlottefinnegan8136 Not so much about large people, is it? Many people find it very difficult to lose weight because of genes or hormonal imbalances, etc... even if they do eat right. It's just that America is continually and pro-actively searching for ways to make their people more gluttonous and unhealthy for a quick buck. Has anyone ever had leftovers from a cake and thought 'Lemme put this in a blender and guzzle it down because that'll make it taste better.' People would think you're a disgusting hog. It's in slight bad taste. Then again, most people aren't scheming up ways to make millions of dollars from friggin' leftovers. Hey, it's a free market and everyone is responsible for their own diet. I don't care. It's just pretty culturally... erm... typical.

Mayo is literally just eggs and oil, there’s nothing at all weird about putting mayo in a cake Edit: Ok I have never had so much activity on a KZbin comment...yes ok I checked a jar of mayo and while it does not have mustard or “spices” as some commenters have claimed it does have some lemon and vinegar. However those ARE sometimes also used in cake, you can add them to the milk to make “soured milk” which approximates buttermilk, I have done this with many cakes. So I still maintain that regular mayo is not at all weird to use when making a cake.

Fun fact: mayo or sour cream is used in cakes to make it more moist....so it isn't as weird as you think it sounds and is reasonably possible.

[@ChadPANDA...]

Why ? How ?

[@C.u.d.s]

Nipun sharma Because you’re incorporating more oils and fats into it, which won’t evaporate so it’s more moist. I think it’s more normal to just add veg oil or more butter, but mayo and sour cream might give it an extra...or different, something to the taste.

[@aloha8827]

Nipun sharma the base of mayo is really just egg and oil whipped together so adding to a cake really just helps to keep the cake’s structure, moistness, and etc and sour cream is more like thick buttermilk which adds some liquid but acidic for a soft texture plus a lil more fat or the cake is dry

[@sophia_8298]

Mayo is just oil and eggs (plus a tiny bit of vinegar) and eggs and oil are common ingredients in cake anyways

[@harryhealey4298]

And you don’t taste mayo or sour cream because it doesn’t take a lot to make it moist. Around 1/4 cup is all you need for a standard chocolate cake to make it more moist.
