CAP Cake Batter

submitted almost 9 years ago by wh1skeyk1ngThanks for reading this flair

Setup: Velocity clone; dual twisted 28awg @ .55Ω; cotton wicks; 40 W

Testing: CAP Cake Batter @ 3%; Aged: 12 days

Flavor description: A gooey blend of vanilla, sugar, and butter with some cakey nuances and a subtle note of some sort of spice. I'm stuck between the "spice" being vanilla extract or something like cloves maybe? Reminiscent of a cheap store-bought birthday cake that didn't quite fully cook. It is rather potent tasting even at 3%.

Off-flavors: Pepper, grease, plastic, vomit, chemicals, or whatever those with sensitive palates taste, this flavor may have some of that.

Throat hit: 7/10

Uses: At low (~1%) percentages it can help add body or depth to a custard or donut/cake vape. This flavor is not recommended at higher percentages, although I have seen it work decently up to 3%.

Pairings: Custards, creams, cakes, cookies, donuts, nuts.

Notes: This flavor is not a great standalone, or as a shake and vape IMO, but it does mellow out quite a bit given enough steep time (2+ weeks). It can still be a rather offensive flavor even past that point to some people. It does come in handy depending on how it is used, but it is recommended to start low with this concentrate and work up if you prefer.

I know a lot of people can't stand this flavour but I actually love it! I could vape this fresh and I get that delicious sense cake batter taste. This is also the flavour ITC vapes uses for spoon licker OG, along with CAP vanilla custard and CAP sweet strawberry.

Hmm, I knew there was a reason it tasted familiar! Went through quite a few bottles of Spoon Licker v1 and v2 before I started DIY. That stuff really makes Mother's/Unicorn/whatever Milk taste sub-par. Any leads on Puddin #9? Damn, I forgot how much I loved ITC juices.

Haha I wish I knew. FWIW I heard ITC uses exclusively Capella flavorings. Perhaps that will help narrow the search

I really like this flavor, it's pretty nuanced. I definitely get the pepper/grease flavor if I go much over 2% but it's still rather enjoyable below that. I like it best with FW VBIC and some FW Blueberry or CAP Harvest Berry (or both)

The title was to mislead my girlfriend so she wouldn't steal the good stuff from my desk. It worked for about 4 months until she cracked one open. RIP in pieces my stash.

I personally LOVE this flavor. I would use it as a stand alone, but it works so well to add depth to creams, custards, and bakeries.

I'm working on nailing down a donut base and this has been a key to it for me.

Disgusting flavour, ruins everything it touches. Had high hopes, but similar to CAP Custard, it is just nasty. Nothing but acrid chemical taste (marker pens once again).

Dang I just got this flavor and ive tried it at 1-3% and all were good! thats how different taste reception can be though. it tastes exactly like a funfetti cake batter to me standalone no additions

That is exactly how I wished it would taste! Yeah, taste is a funny thing (or annoying), glad you like it though. :)

funny thing though i dont like cap custard either, same with TFA bavarian cream and cpl other flavors. they all have something im really sensitive to. just like 0.5 mg of it in a mix and it overpowers everything. and its not a pleasant flavor but its also not terrible

This is a good flavour, a little underrated - I think because too many people try to use it at too high of a percentage.

Pairs well with FLV Blueberry Muffin and FW Yellow Cake. Wouldn't recommend CAP Sugar Cookie as it gets a bit too waxy/greasy.

Here's a recipe I started to play with but didn't perfect after the FW Yellow Cake-gate. May be a starting point for someone after a blueberry cake/muffin batter.

3.0% CAP Cake Batter

2.0% FW Yellow Cake

1.5% FLV Blueberry Muffin

You could probably remove the Blueberry Muffin and swap in almost any fruit that would suit a cake batter. I've mixed the same with CAP Sweet Strawberry and that also comes out quite good.

How does this compare with fw cake batter dip?

1 points

by thedirtyprojectoralmost 9 years agoMixologist

FW Cake Batter Dip is fluffier and not as intrusive. CAP cake batter has a greasy, dense feel to it.

thanks, I have both and they sound like they both have their place.
