No milk

[virgo152]

Do I need milk to make a cake from scratch? What will happen if I leave it out?

It depends on the recipe. But - milk contains sugars and fats as well as water. So, just leaving out the milk will alter your cake's texture, flavor and keeping qualities.

If you are trying to make a "non-dairy" cake - look for one that uses apple sauce as a substution. These recipes are adjusted for the lack of dairy.

i keep a box of dry milk on hand and a can of evorated milk for when i am out of milk.
just make sure you check the expiration date once and while.
