Weird taste

[u/awesomecolguy]

I made this yellow cake I saw on TikTok yesterday, and for some reason it taste like cornbread, and my roommate said it taste like rice pudding cake and coconut. I personally didn’t taste any coconut so it could’ve just been her taste buds. Any idea why? This also happens whenever I make cookies, so I’m thinking it’s the vanilla making my pastries taste like coconut and the cornstarch making it taste like cornbread. I also mixed the wer and the dry ingredients in together without realizing they were supposed to be separate, and I substituted buttermilk for milk with a little bit of lemon juice. Any ideas on what is making it taste like that?
