Did I ruin my cake?

I made a chocolate cake from scratch and after it was in the oven, I realized that I had left out a cup of sugar (I only put in 2, not 3 like the recipe called for). Is it ruined?

Answer #1

Probably not - I’ve done this before and it should be OK (not perfect, but OK)! I’d give it a sweeter icing thank you planned… Best of luck!

Answer #2

Your cake will be fine! Not as sweet as the recipie calls for but it’ll be fine, its not like you forgot ALL the sugar. A lot of cakes don’t even need 3 cupsof sugar so I would just forgive yourself for such a tiny mistake and move on, I’m sure it’ll be delicious!

If you are still worried about the flavour of your cake I’d do what flossheal said- add a sweeter icing- otherwise I’m sure everything will be fine.

GOOD LUCK! -Jess
