This is the first cake recipe that I have seen using water instead of milk. Who knew?!?! Nicely done ma'am. Thanks for sharing.

[@haydeemaldonado1733]

Thank God for sending this life saver of a woman, 🙏😊. Now 'I'll try to make real cakes. New suscriber, yes indeed, 👍.

[@thomasplace]

Thank you for the sub and for watching.

[@gloriavilla6357]

Can you use parchment paper in the pan?

[@thomasplace]

Yes, you sure can

[@everlastingjoy37]

Thank you for sharing your recipe. You did a wonderful job explaining all the steps. Just need to ask you...can I replace the water with buttermilk or milk instead? I also would like to a combination of pure almond extract, clear vanilla extract and butter extract. By you using the cup to measure out how much batter to put into the pan and the baking temperature and minutes to bake in order not to overbake was VERY HELPFUL. Thanks again 😊.

[@thomasplace]

I have only made this recipe as written so I can't give you an answer about the substitutions mentioned. The combination of almond extract and clear vanilla isn't a problem. I'm not a big fan for the butter extract but it's your call on that one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.

Diane, I have made your yellow, half chocolate and half vanilla cake, the marble, and chocolate half sheet cakes. ALL of them are phenomenal! I can't wait to make this one! Such crowd pleasers!

[@sallyammar7204]

Bake at a lower temperature for longer! That usually works 😊👍🏽

[@TaraMcGuire-co9uv]

Hello Diane! I just love your videos! Thank you so kindly for sharing all these wonderful recipes!! May I ask what size mixer bowl you have? I have a kitchen aid and my bowl does not look big enough for this recipe- so I will need to purchase one 😊

[@thomasplace]

I have a professional 6 qt. If you go to the kitchen aid website, you can find a chart that will tell you the amounts your mixer can handle. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.

Hello Diane, I’m trying to find a how to on old fashioned cake squares, for a baby shower. They seem to be a thing of the past.

[@thomasplace]

Are you looking for a recipe for cake squares. What type of pan are you going to use? I use a square 8x8x2 inch pan. Thanks for watching

[@robbielynnhowlethehomestea8761]

Thank you so much Diane , I needed a sheet cake for work this Christmas 🎄 ❤ thank you again, hello from Pennsylvania, I subscribed

[@thomasplace]

Sounds great I have many other half sheet cakes and several different flavors on my channel. Pennsylvania was a vital role in the founding of the United States. My grandparents were born there what a beautiful state. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write. Thank You of the sub.

[@belindavoudrie992]

Where do you get your cake pans from? Could you please illustrate how to take a sheet cake from a cake pan to a board to frost? Thank you!

[@thomasplace]

I bought them through a restaurant supply... You can buy pans at Michael's, Williams Sonoma. I flip my cakes onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool . Then when it's time to put them on a board, I flip them back into the pan, put the board on top of the pan and flip the cake onto the board. I've never had a problem doing them that way.

[@janicewalker5845]

Look Very good thanks you

[@tecanachesley6895]

How does the addition of water instead of milk affect the flavor of the cake? And does the gluten from the flour activate with all of the mixing that is required to make this cake?

[@thomasplace]

If your looking for a cake recipe that uses milk I have several on my channel. . The quantity of water present also plays into the gluten-forming process. Adding too little water won't work; the flour must be sufficiently hydrated to activate the proteins that form gluten.

[@aliceconley5611]

Can the 4 1/2 cups if ice water be subtituted for milk...if so will that still need to be the same about of liquid I've made this cake twice already with water

[@thomasplace]

Once I find a recipe that works well time and time again I don't alter it ,so I don't have a answer for you. :)

[@gloriavilla6357]

How was the flavor?

[@aliceconley5611]

@gloriavilla6357 the cake was really good...the flavor was but I like to add a bit more vanilla anyway. It is one of my go too😁

[@cookie.monster]

Thanks for the very well done video I made it today and was easy to follown thanks

[@thomasplace]

Great to hear!

[@noelakataraiha6692]

[@seemi211]

Can you use this recipe and amount of batter for a 10” and 8 “ pan? Also at what temperature? Thanks!

[@thomasplace]

Sorry, I can't answer that I only make this recipe as shown ( Half Sheet Cake) Check out this Wilton chart it might help..www.wilton.com/cake-serving-guide/cms-baking-serving-guide.html Thanks for watching.....

[@camisewalls719]

Greetings would I just cut this into squares for cake squares ?? Thanks

[@thomasplace]

Yes, but the squares will have rough edges that won't be smooth if you know what I mean, (Crumbly) Thanks for watching....

[@Hotpinksynergy]

Hi Diane. I love your videos! I do have a question. I will surely let you know how your cake baked for me. But do you use salted or unsalted?

[@thomasplace]

Generally if I use unsalted butter I mention it, there are some recipes I lower the salt due to using regular butter. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write....

[@Hotpinksynergy]

Hi Diane, So the cake came out beautifully. My batter was thicker so I could have went with all the batter but it’s great! And I find it to taste a bit flourly, so next time I might add 1 extra teaspoon of extract but overall GREAT recipe! This cake is melting in my mouth. And thank you so much for the videos. I love to hear you. -Tracy

[@JNette76]

[@natashamitchell2904]

Can you do a full sheet pan cake?

[@thomasplace]

The cakes I make all the time are half sheets for occasions, church social etc. When I need a bigger cake, I make two half sheets and put one on top of the other.
