Vinegar in Cake?

I was at first hesitant to try this cake. Vinegar? I thought it would taste of vinegar but it really doesn’t. It tastes sweet, fruity and deliciously soft. The vinegar and bicarbonate of soda react together to help make the cake rise.
It is a beautiful cake and one that can easily be made from most existing store-cupboard ingredients.

I’ve never heard of it. Looks delicious. Might try to make sure me myself 😋👍

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

I hope you do, you'll love it! Thanks for popping by 👍

[@ParnellTheChef]

This cake looks great, Margaret. You are right: the first time I put vinegar in cake, I was a bit worried--but I couldn't taste it at all! I have never used malt vinegar in baking, just on fish and chips, haha. I think that a sprinkling of sugar on top is a great idea. I do that for my pies, and like you said, it gives a great bit of crunch. Thanks for sharing!

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks Parnell.....👍

[@ParnellTheChef]

@@MargaretsMakeandBake You're welcome👍

[@LadyLikeables]

My grandma always used vinegar in her cakes instead of eggs as in her days, eggs were rationed. And they were heavy but nice. Lovely video to watch

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks for your kind words.... Yes, it is an old idea and it makes sense that it was during the war that it was used.....thanks for the info... Take care and stay safe....👋

[@joannng3993]

Glad to know this, thanks. I think it works for banana cakes too, I often use apple cider vinegar to substitute cream of tatar in baking cakes.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks JoAnn, it's great to learn new things......👍

[@xKellogsx]

Just made this cake tonight substituting cranberries for some of the raisins (all i had) and mixed spice/cinnamon for the cardamon seeds (again all i had). So delicious! Thank you. Will be making again.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hey there Kelly, Thanks for letting me know. Those substitutions sound delicious, well done....👍

[@kathrynboniface3455]

This really worked well for a Dorset Apple cake. I added mixed spice and cinnamon with apple. It raised well without a vinegar taste.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hello Kathryn, have just googled Dorset Apple cake sounds a lovely recipe.... It gave me an idea for an apple muffin recipe! Thanks so much for your support....👍

[@DaveDabomb]

This was very interesting to watch, the cake looks great! I have to say, I agree with your mother about getting everything out of the mixing bowl! 😆

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Haa haa.... haven't licked a bowl for many many years but funny how children are always keen to....😂

[@LidiyaAbith]

Hi i made a cake using butter milk by adding milk and vinegar....i dont know why it smell really bad 🙄🙄 do u know what is the reason

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi, that's an interesting question... It would depend how much vinegar you used.... When I make a substitute buttermilk, I use milk and a squeeze of lemon juice.... Thanks for stopping by...👍

[@KRrecipeTravels]

Good baking skills.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks KR......

[@TheSidraja]

Wat to do,shud we add vinegar first and then milk in dry ingredients?

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there, thanks for your question... The eggs and sugar need mixing together then add the rest of the wet ingredients to the egg and sugar. It's just easier to mix that way. Then add this to the dry ingredients. Hope this helps. Do let me know how it goes....👍

[@TheSidraja]

@@MargaretsMakeandBake thanks,my question was,vinegar makes curds with milk,so we shud not add them together...

[@lilliabeautyandkitchen1279]
