    Replacing eggs and oil with mayonnaise?

    Milk and sugar replaced with melted ice cream?

    You’re just substituting two things with one thing that is made almost entirely from those two things.

    Like yes, eggs and oil are a great replacement for eggs and oil.

      It still sounds insane at first until you think about it. “I’m baking a chocolate cake, fetch the mayonaise” Is not normal behavior.

          Theres also a great chocolate cake recipe that involves a can of pickled beets I cant wait to try.

          B Dylan Hollis on youtube does a lot of vintage recipes, some with seemingly insane substitutions but some of them work out really well. Theres a bunch he does that I still want to try. The disgusting ones are just entertaining.

      Whenever I’m thirsty I just drink a liquefied byproduct of hydrogen and oxygen combustion instead of water
