Chocolate Cupcakes With Vanilla Frosting

So, I think that we need to start our party by making some cupcakes for Amy's birthday

So, let's do it. Love me a cupcake. All right, let's do it to it. All right, now let me think, because y'all are in here and y'all got me already bum-fuzzled

I know. All right, so we need... It's not hard to do. No, we need a half a cup of sour milk

Now, y'all can make sour milk. We're going to use regular sweet milk

We're going to add about a teaspoon of white vinegar. Some vinegar

Vinegar. and that's gonna make it sour milk. All right, so Itchy Bob

we got some hot water over there. Okay. And I'm gonna just measure out

a half a cup of cocoa. Why don't you... No, let that, let that

All right, I just need... We are, we are. It's just your cupcakes. All right, now we need

a half a cup of hot water. Sister, get over here and make your own cake

Beat that up. All right, you got your sour milk measured out

All right. We are gonna... Come on. You don't know how to work a mixer

No, I don't. We got the fancy stuff. Oh, you do. On this recipe, it don't matter how you put it in, as long as you put it in

Okay. All right, so we got our sour milk. And how much of the..

Don't be splashing it on my new dress. I love your new dress. I like it. It's gorgeous. It's a pretty birthday dress

I know. Now, see how that vinegar, can y'all see that? Oh, yeah

See how it's got kind of clumpy. It just, like, sours it out

If you ever have a recipe calling for buttermilk, you don't have any buttermilk, just take regular milk, add white vinegar to it, and it becomes sour milk or buttermilk

All right. Half a cup of shortening. Shortening Shortening Shortening Shortening Shortening Shortening Shortening Shortening Yes Mama little baby loves shortening shortening Mama little baby loves shortening bread All right

Vanilla. One cup of sugar, y'all. All right. Two eggs. All right

Sister, get down there and take that spatula and help your sister

Yeah, well, I should be doing this for you. I know it. You want me to do it. Oh, I got this

Scrape those sides for me. Yeah, scrape those sides down. Yeah, we need to get this. All right, now I'm going to measure out one and a half cups of all-purpose flour, one

teaspoon of baking soda. All right, so how's you girls catering business

Busy, busy, busy. I mean. Y'all just worked out at the fairgrounds, didn't you? Yeah

Doing something. We did the Georgia throwdown. I was so proud of Albany. They put on a good show

I mean, it was the bomb. Did they? Yes. What were y'all serving? We served etouffee

Oh, my gosh. We served gumbo. We served red beans and rice

These girls have some very, very strong Cajun blood running through them

Their father is from Louisiana. He can cook up some mean Cajun dishes, y'all

That looks pretty good. All right, now we got everything in it. We got our sour milk

We got our soda. We put the vanilla in it. We got our cocoa, our hot water, our flour, and our eggs, and our sugar

We ready to go? So get out of my way. All right. Beat it, Mama

I'm going to beat it. Y'all about to get on my last nerve. Nothing new, is it

No. We didn't want you to feel any different than you had before

So y'all did well with your sayings. We did. We ran out

We ran out of white rice. Oh, no. I don't know what we did here

We had dirty rice, too. I said if you want the etouffee over dirty rice it called the dirty toe The dirty toe And if you want the gumbo it the dirty go Because Suzette was outside I was inside Suzette would go give me two dirty toes and one dirty go

And people with the hang of it, they was like, I want one of those dirty toes

I said, it's better than light bread. So now at the restaurant, people come in, they were out at the throw down, and they were

like, we want us a dirty go and a dirty toe. Oh, that's funny

It is. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. There you go

And what we got to do is start filling these cupcake tins. All right, so let's get our cupcakes in the oven

Before you got here, we made Amy chocolate cupcakes. And now we're going to make her favorite, a vanilla frosting to top them off with

We're going to start with four cups of the sugar. Okay. Okay. In with my two sticks of butter

Bubba, if you'd pick that mixer. Okay. And start beating. Just beat it

Would you turn that off for me? For the old man. He can't see

All right. Two teaspoons of vanilla. Come on, keep beating, Bubba. Bubba

Now I'm going to start adding the milk a little at a time. Thank you

All right, now, Amy. Ma'am. I've got you some beautiful pearl balls

Oh, and I love these. To go on your cupcake. I love me a sprinkle. Now, listen

Do you want your cupcakes the color of the buttercream? Or do you want to put some magic potion in it

Plus two magic potion. I love some trickery. Now, this stuff is real potent

Okay. So, here's your stick. And you just put the, until you get it the color you want. Okay

Come back over here Now this is a good time to start adding in the last four cups of powdered sugar Two Three

That is pretty. All right, I just want to... It's time to make some taste

I like the way that looks. Don't you? I do. Do you want to taste it

Come on. How is it? It tastes pretty good

All right, now lower your speed and slowly lift your fingers up. I'll see what I have to deal with with all my sisters

And this is nothing. Watch it, sister. You are looking handsome. Come over to see now

There you go. I love buttercream. I do. Better than a fat kid loves cake

All right, let's see how you do. It's going to be payback time. I know. Better start from the outside in or inside out

I would almost pick up that cupcake so you have control over it

Look at 50. Don't take a rocket scientist. But I'm going to bring it up a little bit

If you're doing it, it sure don't. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look a there
