So, a few days ago I was doing a big project and I decided that it would be fun if during it I took a break to try out the Horrible Evil Vanilla Extract Cake, but I wanted to test the theory that it would actually be good if you put in a lot more sugar, so I made two batches: classic and double sugar. So I baked them, 3 classic and 3 sugary, and they came out looking like this

My whole house smelled like vanilla extract, but not in a good way.

I then strong-armed my sibling into trying one of each with me. We started with the classic and each grabbed a bite of the jaw only to realize to my great disappointment that it was good. It kind of tasted like a waffle actually, with just a hint of a bitter aftertaste. I was floored. We worked out way up and I was starting to think that somehow I hadn't put enough vanilla extract in it when I found what my sibling and I dubbed The Pocket. See, I later found out that the reason the cakes were the way they were was that I had incorrectly assumed that since they were relatively deep I would need to cook them longer so I baked them for about 30 minutes, maybe a little over. That meant the vast majority of the alcohol had cooked off, except for the very center of the brain case, hence The Pocket. And Jesus Christ it was like the cake lulled you into a false sense of security then punched you right in the face. I got my siblings friend to try it the next day and they described it as "like when you get a crusty in your septum and for a second it hurts like you're going to go blind".

So, yeah. Mission accomplished?

The sugary one was interesting because while it still had The Pocket I fucked up on the math and there was so much sugar in it it caramelized on the outside. Pretty good though.

Hey, does anyone remember that one tumblr four word cooking horror story that said “two cups vanilla extract?” Yeah I’m 100% sure this whole thing was orchestrated by them.

[blameyourproblemsonthegreeks]

shall I make the cake but with an extra half cup of sugar to offset the bitterness???

After watching StrangeAeons make the vanilla extract cake I can't help but want to make my own. It's not that I'm a masochist for spending money, it's just that I'm a masochist for shit food apparently. I need to taste it for myself; grind that sponge between my teeth.

[wizardbrained]

someone should actually make the vanilla extract cake using the percentages from the poll to see how it turns out

The truth about vanilla extract

When I was a kid my dad made me drink Vanilla Extract as a punishment so I'm very concerned about the vanilla extract cake because it does not taste as good as you think it does.

also it's literally mostly ALCOHOL lol

(I pick the vanilla extract button on polls too it's ok this is like 60% a joke)

"Vanilla Extract" should become the "I just want to see the results" button for tumblr
