I have a base recipe that works well and the cake turns out moist and fluffy enough. When I add other ingredients to add the flavor I want, it goes amuck.
I started with an egg, 1/3c. applesauce, cinnamon, sugar, 1/2 tsp. baking powder a pinch of salt and 3/4 c. flour. I baked one cupcake and it turned out great. Nice! Now to add the flavor I want...
I added about 1/8 c. pomegranate soda that I reduced on the stovetop and I also added about 1/8 c. pomegranate blueberry vinaigrette dressing.
The result was more dense and doughy. I am such a rookie at this I have only two guesses: there is too much wet ingredients or there is not enough baking powder/ soda. Any suggestions?
Keep in mind I am not claiming to be very good at this, but I want to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any input helps. Thank you!!
