Welcome back everyone. It's still fall
0:02
and we've got a delicious recipe for you
0:05
today. It's the perfect dessert for your
0:07
Thanksgiving table or just bring to a
0:10
potluck to a church function. Just have
0:12
it in your house.
0:15
It's called a pecan pie dump cake. We're
0:19
going to take two good old classics, a
0:22
dump cake and a pecan pie. Mash them
0:25
together with only seven ingredients.
0:28
One is the box cake mix. And then we
0:31
have pecans, eggs, butter, brown sugar,
0:35
light corn syrup, and vanilla. All
0:38
right, you guys. You ready? We're going
0:39
to start with that kind of that custard
0:41
mixture first. Get that one going.
0:45
In a medium bowl, we're going to crack
0:47
in four eggs. Now, I brought these to
0:49
room temperature.
0:54
You do that, it keeps everything from
0:56
seizing up together on it. Makes it a
0:58
little more smoother.
1:01
That was a skinny egg.
1:04
We need that
1:04
chicken.
1:05
We need that after the holidays, right?
1:16
And four. Boop.
1:19
All right. Get that out.
1:22
It tried to hide. There we go.
1:26
Take a whisk. Break them up a little
1:29
bit.
1:31
That'll give them a head start.
1:38
We're going to add in one cup of light
1:40
corn syrup.
1:45
I love this tool in the kitchen.
1:52
and then just push it on out.
1:58
Get a knife.
2:03
We're going to add in one cup of brown
2:05
sugar. Make sure it's packed.
2:14
I've got half a cup, so I'll go in two
2:16
times.
2:22
This makes the nice base for a pecan
2:25
pie.
2:30
And then we're going to add in
2:32
one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
2:40
All right, we're going to blend this all
2:41
together until nice and smooth and well
2:44
incorporated.
2:50
Woo! Get in there.
2:53
This is about as hard as a recipe will
2:55
get.
2:57
Rest will be easy.
3:02
There we go. That's what I'm talking
3:03
about right there.
3:07
All right, we need to get our baking
3:09
dish.
3:10
You're going to need a 9 by13 for this
3:13
recipe and some cooking spray.
3:20
We're going to spray it nice and evenly.
3:24
Keep the cake from sticking. There we
3:26
go.
3:29
All right.
3:31
Does that happen to y'all?
3:34
We're going to take one box of classic
3:36
yellow cake mix. It's just in the powder
3:39
form. We're going to open it. And then
3:41
what we want to do is place half of it
3:44
in the bottom of our baking dish just as
3:47
is. Do not prepare it. Now remember,
3:51
just half. Keep an eye on it.
3:59
We'll smooth it out. There we go.
4:03
All right. We'll save that for the rest.
4:06
Now, what we're going to do is take half
4:08
of that egg mixture with the brown sugar
4:11
in it. That custard we made right there.
4:15
Take the whisk out for right now.
4:20
Now, we're just going to place half of
4:21
this all over the cake.
4:28
You can kind of judge that.
4:32
It's not going to have to be perfect.
4:38
All right. Now, I have one cup of
4:40
chopped pecans, and we're going to take
4:42
half of that and sprinkle it on top of
4:45
our mixture.
4:52
Now, Thomas loves a good pecan pie.
4:54
Yes, I do.
4:55
For the fall, Thanksgiving, there better
4:58
be a pecan pie.
5:01
If you don't want a fist fight, there
5:03
better be one.
5:05
He loves cake, too. So, check out this
5:09
recipe here. He's going to love it.
5:11
We're going to find out. All right. I
5:13
think I'm going to save the rest. That's
5:15
good right there.
5:17
Now, we're going to take the rest of the
5:18
cake powder
5:21
right here. We're going to sprinkle that
5:22
on top.
5:27
All right. We're going to smooth that
5:29
out a little bit. Don't pack it in
5:31
because you want everything to kind of
5:33
go into it. All right. Make sure you
5:35
kind of stir up the rest of the mixture
5:37
here. And we're going to drizzle it all
5:40
over this layer of the cake mix.
5:51
Y'all, this is going to be a good one.
5:55
I'm going to make something different
5:56
this year
5:58
for sure.
6:02
See, if you drizzle it, you get it in
6:04
more places. Just keep stirring in
6:06
there.
6:09

6:12
I love the holidays, you guys. We got a
6:15
lot of stuff happening. We're super
6:16
excited.
6:20
Don't worry, it's going to swim in
6:21
there.
6:24
It's going to be like magic, magic,
6:26
magic, magic.
6:31
We're going to take the rest of the
6:32
pecans. We're going to put it on top.
6:34
Just sprinkle them on.
6:37
Now, if you're new to dump cakes, do not
6:40
mix any of this. Whatever we have going
6:42
on right now. Don't go in and want to
6:44
swirl it all around and all of that.
6:46
You're going to leave it just like it
6:47
is.
6:50
We're going to take two sticks of
6:52
butter, which will equal one cup. We're
6:56
going to place it into a microwave safe
6:58
bowl. We're going to melt it
7:01
and we're going to come back.
7:06
Isn't that the best part of a dump cake?
7:09
The butter.
7:12
All right, let's get that melting. There
7:15
it is.
7:17
All right, let's drizzle that all on
7:19
top.
7:25
I'm using a fork to help me get it where
7:28
I want it because we definitely want to
7:30
cover up any of the powder that we can
7:32
find.
7:35
Now, if you're a stickler to the
7:36
oldfashioned way, you can cut your
7:38
butter into thin pads and lay it all
7:41
over your cake.
7:45
It's going to take a while in your oven.
7:47
I've got it preheated at 350
7:50
degrees. We're going to bake this for
7:52
about 50 to 60 minutes. That's 50 to 1
7:57
hour. You want to make sure that it's
7:59
nice and golden across the top and that
8:02
the cake is fully cooked through. And
8:04
also, you want the egg mixture to be
8:06
cooked through also. Guys, we're going
8:08
to be back. We're going to cool this
8:10
down a little bit and we're going to
8:11
give it a try for you.
8:14
All right, you guys. Look at that.
8:17
Doesn't it look scrumptious? It's got a
8:19
nice crust on top. Now, it came out of
8:22
the oven. We cooled it down pretty much
8:25
all the way. It's a little warm on the
8:26
bottom. Then I took a knife and I just
8:28
went around the edges. We're going in
8:31
cuz it smells amazing.
8:37
Look at that. Scrumptious. Scrumptious.
8:42
Scrumptious. That's the bottom of it.
8:45
We're going to put it on a plate.
8:50
And I'm going to give that a try for
8:51
you.
8:53
Look at those layers. Oh, it's so soft.
9:11
That's a fork drop. Mhm. That is
9:14
excellent.
9:19
I can't describe it, but my gosh, it
9:21
tastes like a pecan pie with a cake in
9:24
it. It is so delicious. It is
9:28
scrumptious. Wow. I love the topping.
9:32
It's kind of a crispy topping. Nice and
9:35
moist on the inside. And you got those
9:37
delicious pecans in there.
9:40
Wow. Two thumbs up on this one, you
9:43
guys.
9:45
All right.
9:48
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone this
9:50
month. And if you're making this one,
9:52
let me know.
9:55
That rocks.
9:57
I'm gonna make one for Thanksgiving.
9:59
Yeah. All right, you guys. I'll see
10:02
y'all on the next episode. Bye.
10:06
