0:30

0:31
we are cooking nothing but Thanksgiving
0:33
desserts aren't my favorite we're going
0:36
to start off with a cinnamon Ripple
0:38
sweet potato cake so why don't we get
0:41
started sounds good now the first thing
0:43
I'd like for you to do is drain our
0:44
sweet potatoes I am going to be beating
0:48
up and creaming two sticks of butter
0:50
bird and two cups of sugar okay
0:54
while you're getting all of our dry
0:56
ingredients ready how do you want these
0:58
Paula just
1:00
step good
1:01
you heard them all right right so when
1:03
you get those sweet potatoes made Jay
1:05
you can just measure out one cup and put
1:09
it in that bowl okay and I'm gonna start
1:11
creaming our buttering sugar together
1:13
and I'm just gonna beat this until it's
1:16
creamy fill it up a little bit more baby
1:18
a little bit more uh-huh all the way to
1:20
the top and then level it off sounds
1:23
good
1:25
so I'm going to do the dry ingredients
1:27
here I'm going to start out with a
1:28
quarter teaspoon of nutmeg one teaspoon
1:31
of baking powder one teaspoon of ground
1:34
cinnamon now I'm gonna add one egg at
1:37
the time
1:38
and one tablespoon of salt here
1:42
and then I'm just going to mix this up
1:45
Jaybird do you ever get
1:48
to know I do more so now than I ever
1:50
have
1:51
um you know I see you girl well that's
1:53
right you know I've always been the
1:54
eater in the family until now but um
1:57
we're cooking more and more which is uh
1:59
is nice it's um my refrigerator has more
2:03
food in it now than it's had in two
2:05
years okay so we're gonna do three cups
2:07
of this all-purpose flour I'm gonna add
2:12
the rest of my eggs this is my third
2:14
eggnog jay bird I've got going in
2:19
[Music]
2:25
okay all right this looks good so bird
2:28
if you would um go ahead and listen just
2:32
scoop those sweet potatoes and again
2:34
that's one cup okay of sweet potatoes
2:38
and look at that it was still warm and
2:40
look what they're doing to that butter
2:41
all right now if you take that spatula
2:44
and just go around the sides for me you
2:47
got it might need to cut that down at
2:50
least time am I going the right way yeah
2:53
we got it going on that's right tag team
2:56
in it all right so I think that's enough
2:59
so now I've got a 16 ounce carton of
3:02
sour cream and I'm gonna add
3:04
three-fourths of a carton of this so I'm
3:07
just gonna eyeball it y'all
3:10
and I'm gonna beat beat all right
3:13
Jaybird if you would just take this um
3:16
measuring spoon and just slowly add this
3:20
to our cake okay
3:22
let's bring that that would be great
3:26
and I might need you to just take that
3:28
spatula and go around the edge of the
3:30
bowl so we can keep all that flour
3:34
okay you ready for the other and so Paul
3:37
out of all the thanksgivings that we've
3:39
spent together what was your favorite
3:40
when jay bird I did love those
3:42
thanksgivings in Statesboro I did too we
3:45
had so much fun all great kids running
3:47
crazy and I'm very upset that we don't
3:50
do that anymore because I'm old enough
3:52
now to play poker with y'all
3:56
y'all as soon as we walked in the back
3:58
door we set up the poker table last
4:00
Thanksgiving was pretty dadgum good I
4:04
cooked Thanksgiving here I know the
4:06
store was open that's right I'm usually
4:08
stuck down there so I'm gonna have to
4:10
take some time off this Thanksgiving so
4:11
I can spend it with the family yeah I
4:13
think maybe you can make a phone call
4:14

4:16
somebody so while you work on that are
4:19
you ready for me to make the streusel
4:20
yes please okay
4:22
so I'm going to work on that down here I
4:24
actually am going to take a half a cup
4:26
of brown sugar
4:29
half a cup of chopped pecans here add
4:32
that in okay
4:34
and last but not least we're just going
4:37
to throw in
4:38
a teaspoon of
4:40
ground cinnamon all right now we have
4:43
sprayed our bundt pan
4:46
and I'm going to put half the batter in
4:48
and then we're going to put your dry
4:50
ingredients in the middle
4:52
[Music]
4:57
do you like eating cake batter I do I
5:00
could actually live on it
5:03
all right Jaybird so we're gonna take
5:05
your dry ingredients yes now all you
5:09
have to do jay bird is just sprinkle
5:12
that evenly okay over that batter and if
5:15
you want to do it with your hands that's
5:16
perfectly all right
5:19
and you know this is going to be so
5:20
delicious with some fresh whipped cream
5:24
I cannot wait I know I can't either
5:27
we are doing it will be enough left for
5:29
anybody else by the time
5:31
I don't know but you know what today we
5:34
don't have to share all right so if you
5:36
would just kind of rotate this bowl sure
5:38

5:47

5:49
from like the 60s
5:51
[Music]
5:55

5:59
there for one hour okay and count the
6:02
minutes and look I won't take my finger
6:04
and rake that off so you can have that
6:06
Jaybird 350 degrees for one hour yes
6:09

6:23
our cinnamon cake that's my favorite
6:25
part and later we make Jay's sisters
6:28

6:53
chiffon pie Charlie is your cousin right
6:57
Trina's youngest daughter Tina's
6:58
youngest daughter this is Charlie's
7:00
recipe and it's super simple now I'm
7:02
gonna add one cup y'all of uh pumpkin
7:06
puree now don't confuse that with
7:10
pumpkin pie filling
7:13
now we're going to add this to the bag
7:15
of jumbo marshmallows that Jay has been
7:18
melting I'm going to add a half a
7:20
teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
7:24
and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt and
7:29
we're gonna melt these marshmallows with
7:32
that pumpkin puree and we're gonna have
7:36
to let that cool because we're actually
7:38
going to take half of this frozen
7:40
whipped topping and fold into there and
7:43
then we're going to top the the pile
7:45
with the other half of this while you're
7:48
stirring those I'm going to come down
7:49
here and I'm going to finish up our cake
7:51
I'm going to make the glaze
7:55
and how oh that's a heavy cake
7:59
so how's this jay bird it's beautiful in
8:04

a cup of heavy cream
8:33
three-fourths of a teaspoon of rum
8:36
flavoring
8:38
it's gonna mix that up does that like it
8:41
to suit you it does okay Jaybird that's
8:44
great great good you just put that to
8:47
the side and we're gonna let it cool
