There's some chemical reaction between the two that I don't understand (as I don't understand most of baking chemistry!). If you want to enhance the flavor of the cake, you can certainly use milk in place of water.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692999404326628908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-90080097236970355162012-03-28T23:59:02.888-04:002012-03-28T23:59:02.888-04:00My mom insists that you cannot perfect a recipe un...My mom insists that you cannot perfect a recipe until you've made it three times, then you'll have mastered it.

I used skim milk in place of the water in this recipe because I thought it would add some flavor. But it didn't add enough!

However, I only buy eggs at farmer's markets, and I wouldn't try this with supermarket eggs. One can always use cream for the frosting (my mother didn't have any)instead of the eggs. Please do let me know if the more modern version even mentions raw eggs -- I'd love to know.

My mom had the same cookbook, though possibly an earlier version. Don't know where it went. Out of curiosity, I'll check my 1990s-2000+ version to see if the frosting recipe still calls for raw egg.Barbnoreply@blogger.com
