Oh, I just thought of something else too – my vanilla extract bottle was almost empty and the cap top was slightly opened, so maybe some of the liquid evaporated and that’s what made it too concentrated. I’ll have to get a new bottle and try again! Anyway, thanks for your input and I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks Annie, maybe my vanilla is just overpowering or something. I think I’ll try it again with 1 teaspoon and see how it goes!

Hi Kerstin,
Yes, it really is supposed to be 1 tablespoon. I didn’t think the vanilla flavor was very strong at all, it just had a marshmallow-y taste to me. My friends all gobbled it up too, so it wasn’t a problem for us or our taste buds.

Hi Annie,
I just made this frosting and while the consistency is beautiful, the vanilla flavor is way too strong and I had to throw it out :( Did you really mean 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or is it supposed to be a teaspoon?
Thanks!
Kerstin

I just wanted to say, this cake is amazing! Also if you don’t have a candy thermometer (as I don’t) the temperature to bring the syrup mixture to before adding it to the eggs is called soft ball stage. A way to make sure it is the right temperature without having to actually measure it is to have a bowl of ice cold water next to you. Stick a small spoon in the cold water for a few seconds then quickly dip into the syrup and back into the cold water. If the syrup is the correct temperature it will form a ball, and when picked up the ball should flatten out.
Annie, your site is on my favorites bar. I love it! Keep up the amazing cooking!

The cake looks amazing! My husband’s birthday is coming up and I want to give this a try. I love cooking but I am kind of an impatient baker. If mine can come out looking half as good as yours, I’ll be thrilled. Your desserts all look heavenly!
