Vanilla extract contains the main compound, vanillin, which can provide a distinctive taste and aroma. The use of vanilla extract is done to add flavor to food, especially to food processed by baking. Vanilla extract is also able to give food a fluffy and soft texture.
Vanilla extract can be added at the end of the baking process to make the vanilla flavor more pronounced. In processed chocolate cakes, vanilla extract cannot be tasted but without the extract, the cake will not be flavorful and taste less [2].
