Chambord Substitute
I have a recipe that calls for a liquor called Chambord -- 2 tablespoons to be exact. Is there anything I can use as a substitute?
--Jamie
Hi Jamie,
If you don’t have any Chambord, a raspberry liquor, around the house, you could substitute another liquor, like crème de cassis or orange liquor. Or if you don’t want to use liquor in the recipe, you can use raspberry extract. For 2 tablespoons Chambord, use 1 teaspoon raspberry extract plus enough water to make 2 tablespoons.

Question
What is the reason for a cake to come out too crumbly? Is it because of over beating or keeping the batter out for long time or is it because of too much baking soda? I baked a carrot cake; it was so soft and crumbly that it fell below the resting tray!

Question
Quite a few years ago, I received recipe cards from Grandma's Kitchen. I had a recipe for scallop potatoes that was fantastic. I have lost the recipe and would like to know if there is a way to get it from you.
