Well, what do you think about us moving on to our dessert?
0:04
We're gonna do a caramel pecan layer chocolate cake.
0:10
You have a half pound of butter, which is two sticks,
0:13
three eggs, and two cups of brown sugar.
0:18
- And a couple of teaspoons of vanilla flavoring.
0:21
So if you would cream that up together.
0:25
- [Paula] I'm gonna need one cup
0:27
of unsweetened cocoa powder.
0:30
So you can tell this is gonna be a nice,
0:34
rich chocolatey cake.
0:36
- [Bobby] Oh, well with a pound of butter,
0:40
- All right, now I'm gonna measure out
0:43
a cup and a half of boiling water.
0:54
- [Bobby] And while you're working on that, Mom,
0:55
I'm gonna add some vanilla to my half a pound of butter.
0:59
Two teaspoons of vanilla
1:01
and a couple of cups of brown sugar.
1:04
- Okay, I'm gonna measure out our dry ingredients now,
1:08
and I'm gonna use three cups of a cake flour.
1:18
All right, now I'm gonna add one
1:21
and a quarter teaspoon of baking soda.
1:25
- Then I'm gonna go ahead and crank this up.
1:26
- And look at this precious little chicken, Bobby.
1:30
That is literally a pinch of salt, isn't it?
1:32
- [Paula] No, it's actually a teaspoon.
1:35
Look at the little chicken, just holding her salt.
1:41
- You got you some chickens, didn't you?
1:43
- You know I got me some chickens.
1:46
I love those chickens.
1:47
- All right, I've got three eggs here
1:49
that I'm gonna add one at a time.
1:55
- So alternately with our flour and our cocoa mixture.
1:59
Starting with flour and ending with flour.
2:03
(rustic music) (mixer whirring)
2:11
(rustic music) (mixer whirring)
2:17
All right, now we're safe to turn that up a little bit.
2:22
(mixer whirring loudly)
2:30
All right, Bobby, I think that's good, Son.
2:34
So I will bring our pans up here
2:36
and we'll want to be careful that we measure properly
2:42
(pans clattering) our cake batter.
2:46
- Do you need some pan coat?
2:48
- [Paula] I cut out some parchment paper
2:50
and put it on the bottom,
2:51
but yes, I would like a little bit more pan coating.
2:59
Oh my gosh, that's so good.
3:00
Make sure you get those edges good, Son.
3:04
(hums appreciatively)
3:07
Bobby, you want to lick the beater?
3:10
- I'll wait 'til it's done.
3:15
So rich and chocolatey.
3:19
All right, now I'll show you the way I do it, Bobby.
3:24
If you would take those off that sheet tray, please.
3:32
I like my cakes to be perfectly even,
3:37
- [Bobby] Measure it.
3:38
- Yeah do this number to it. - Smart.
3:47
- All right, these are ready to go in the oven.
3:50
We're gonna bake these, y'all, at 350 for about 25 minutes.
3:55
This is gonna be delicious.
3:58
- All right. - Help me help you.
3:59
- Now I have made a filling, y'all.
4:01
It's just basically brown sugar, butter,
4:04
a little milk and vanilla flavoring.
4:06
I'm gonna bring our cakes up,
4:09
and I'm gonna punch holes in it.
4:12
And now I'm just using the handle of a wooden spoon.
4:17
I'm gonna take my filling, (spoon scraping)
4:22
and I'm just gonna pour that in there.
4:25
Let me go ahead and transfer this one to our cake plate.
4:34
We're gonna let that sit, Son,
4:35
and we're gonna come down here,
4:36
and we're gonna make our frosting.
4:38
Now we've got six tablespoons of melted butter,
4:41
and if you would add two thirds a cup
4:43
of brown sugar to that, we're gonna dissolve that.
4:47
And I'm gonna be measuring out a quarter of a cup
4:53
In goes the heavy cream.
4:57
All right, now we're just gonna stir this up.
5:04
And I'm gonna add a generous serving of vanilla,
5:08
about a teaspoon full, a little bit more.
5:12
All right, now I'm gonna transfer this to my bowl.
5:18
just beat in your confectionate sugar
5:21
using the little hand mixer, about two and a half cups.
5:29
All right, now I've got some nuts here
5:31
that I'm just gonna kind of coarsely chop.
5:35
Now I'm gonna just layer this with a few nuts.
5:41
You can see I'm not even mixing it in.
5:44
- So the good stuff is gonna be all throughout that cake.
5:46
- All throughout this cake, y'all.
5:49
(mixer whirring) (rustic music)
5:54
Now I'm just gonna put a little dollop of this,
5:59
and if I may have my butter knife, please,
6:03
and I'm just gonna spread this out.
6:20
And now for the final step.
6:29
and we've got a beautiful
6:31
chocolate cake with a caramel filling and a caramel icing.
6:36
- [Bobby] Oh, that's beautiful.
6:37
- Tah-dah! - Classic.
6:39
- [Paula] Isn't that gorgeous? - It's beautiful.
6:41
- You ready to taste?
6:42
- I'm ready when you are.
6:51
- Look at that, y'all.
6:54
- [Bobby] Oh, my gosh.
6:55
- [Paula] Do you like it, Son?
6:57
- Like ain't the right word.
7:01
- It's in the fridge.
