Quick! I'm in a cupcake peckle

[Kelleybean]

Hello everyone,

I am in the midst of making some cupcakes for a friend of mine and I just looked in my fridge and saw that I have no milk. I only need 8 oz. and I live out in the middle of nowhere. Can I use yogurt instead?

KBean,
In some formulas the milk is you liquid and not meant to react to another ingredient.
I think water,juice, coca cola, etc.

Thanks jame and pan.

I saw that I did have some dry powdered bettermilk that you use water with and that worked out just fine. Thanks again for your quick response.

Oh yeah! Coca Cola? Thats grose

[panini]

Well I said coke, but here in TX. we would not think of using anything but Dr. Pepper
Glad it turned out for ya.
Pan
not kidding though, here we have DP cake, coke cola cake, 7up cake

7 UP Cake, sounds interesting. I like Jello with 7 UP. Never been a fan of the Dr. I had a bad experience with it one and ever since then we have never gotten along. I am a Coke fan though. I bet that would be a good cake too.

I find that yoghurt gives a more tender crumb to cakes, as does buttermilk, and that if you don't use milk but some other stuff, the texture is even less tender. Milk makes things soft, acid milks make them softer. I think if you use yoghurt, you might want to substitute the baking powder with 1/4 the amount of baking soda. (Soda acts with the acid in the yoghurt)
