0:19
y'all ready for a fluffy moist cake come
0:23
on down grab your favorite boxed cake
0:26
mix any flavor let's put this one
0:29
together
0:30
what is your flavor here's mine double
0:34
chocolate
0:38
fudge now many of y'all are going to be
0:40
asking me can you substitute eggs in
0:43
your cake and yes you can you can
0:45
substitute applesauce 1/4 cup for each
0:49
egg substitute banana half a
0:53
cup and you can also substitute a yogurt
0:57
four tablespoons
1:04
here we
1:05
go look who's in the kitchen today y'all
1:08
know
1:10
why it can't be for the cake huh no
1:14
no cuz with the price of eggs people
1:18
want to know some substitutions for it I
1:21
have four eggs here generally a box cake
1:24
mix calls for three eggs for Bakery
1:26
style we're adding an egg to it I'm
1:29
going to going to crack them all into my
1:30
Bowl here actually my small bowl
1:36
there and add them
1:39
in now when you're adding eggs to your
1:41
mix you want to make sure that you bring
1:43
them to room temperature it doesn't take
1:46
very long about 30
1:49
minutes take the chill off of them that
1:52
way it doesn't bind your mixture too
1:54
much
2:00
now these are large size that I'm
2:04
using and we've got number four right
2:13
here here we
2:15
go now a box cake mix calls for half a
2:20
cup of oil we're going to
2:23
substitute one stick of butter or half a
2:25
cup of butter you want to make sure you
2:28
melt it and then we're going to cool it
2:30
down
2:31
slightly not too
2:34
much because if you put melted butter
2:37
straight out of the microwave into your
2:39
bowl with the eggs it's going to
2:41
scramble your eggs and you don't want
2:43
that so about 45 seconds in the
2:45
microwave and I'll bring you back after
2:48
I cool it down just a little
2:50
bit okay our butter has cooled down
2:53
slightly we're going to go ahead and add
2:54
it to our Bowl
3:03
all right then we're going to add in one
3:05
cup of milk now I just brought this to
3:08
room temperature slightly we're going to
3:11
add that this is in
3:13
the this is replacing the one cup of
3:17
water now can y'all see how this is
3:19
going to change the taste of your cake
3:23
yeah that buttery goodness right there
3:27
now if you're making a poke cake if you
3:29
got lots of layers going on top of it or
3:31
any cake just know that the four eggs is
3:34
going to be really puff up the cake so
3:37
sometimes when I'm making a poke cake
3:39
and I have lots of things going on top
3:40
of it I tend to just stick with the
3:42
three eggs so you just have to kind of
3:44
use your judgment with that okay we're
3:46
going to take our electric hand mixer
3:48
and we're going to beat everything up in
3:50
the bowl for 2 minutes until it's nice
3:52
and
3:57
fluffy about half way through the mixing
4:00
process I just take my
4:02
spatula and I'm going to pull down the
4:05
sides that we can make sure everything
4:08
is well
4:09
Incorporated no lumps or bumps in
4:15
here and that should do it then we'll
4:18
finish up the
4:22
mixing all right look at how smooth that
4:25
is nice and
4:27
fluffy it will be a thick batter
4:39
get all that excess off of
4:41
there my shirt says life is short lick
4:44
the spoon but we're not doing that
4:46
today all right go down make sure
4:48
everything is nice Incorporated down
4:50
there
4:52
yeah let's get our baking dish okay I'm
4:56
going to be using a 9 by 13 for this
4:58
cake today okay now like I said on the
5:01
back of the box you can make a two layer
5:04
8 in cake a two layer 9 in cake you can
5:08
use a bunt pan for this or you can make
5:11
24 cup cakes whatever you want now I'm
5:15
going to spray my baking dish or
5:17
whatever you're using with some
5:18
non-stick cooking spray and this one has
5:20
flour in it because it kind of helps
5:23
release a cake it doesn't have it stuck
5:26
on your pan there
5:33
now I know that some people sometimes
5:35
will grease their pan and then put in
5:38
some cocoa powder shake it all
5:40
around okay that's really good for if
5:43
you're using like dark cake mixes like
5:45
this that's got chocolate in it okay
5:47
we're going to place our batter in
6:00
oh it smells good in
6:07
there don't forget to let me know what
6:10
flavor cake mix you're going to try this
6:13
with okay let's smooth it out evenly
6:17
that way it bakes nice and
6:18
[Music]
6:26
even all right I'm going to get a piece
6:28
of paper towel just wipe off the edges
6:31
here that have a little bit of grease on
6:34
it and I'm
6:37
also going to grab a knife get all that
6:42

6:46
it might be small but going to say it
6:48

6:56
bit we're going to bake the cake for the
7:00

7:05
using I'm doing a 9 by 13 so it's going
7:07
to cook about 26 to 31
7:10
minutes your cake should be golden brown
7:14
