So I was experimenting in the kitchen the other day and stumbled on something odd using mayonnaise in cake batter. Sounds gross, right? But it actually makes the texture incredibly moist and rich. It got me wondering: what other unconventional baking tricks are out there that seem strange but actually work?
I’ve heard about adding a bit of vinegar to pie crust for flakiness or using avocado instead of butter in brownies. Has anyone else tried these or have other off-the-wall tips? I’m always up for testing weird methods if they lead to something delicious. Bonus points if it’s something that’ll make my friends do a double-take when I explain the recipe!
