- Well, ho, ho, ho, y'all.
0:01
It's Christmas time. I'm Jamie Deen here in Mama's Kitchen.
0:05
You know I'm gonna share easy,
0:06
simple, delicious recipes with you.
0:08
And today we're getting into the holiday spirit.
0:10
This is a cinnamon scented pound cake.
0:13
We love pound cakes around here.
0:15
My grandmother Paula made the best pound cake I've ever had.
0:18
My mom makes it, makes it, I sit over here one day
0:21
and ate all the crust off the top.
0:23
Not when I was five, when I was 55.
0:26
This happened a couple months ago, Mama was mad.
0:28
So today we're gonna make our own pound cake
0:30
and I can eat the entire top if I want to.
0:33
Let's get going. We're using a little bitty baking pan.
0:36
Yeah, I'm gonna spray with some non-stick
0:41
and then we're gonna line it
0:42
with a piece of parchment paper too.
0:45
We really don't want this to get stuck.
0:48
I'm not gonna force that down. We'll get to it.
0:50
The first thing I'm gonna do in this bowl
0:52
is I'm gonna cream our butter along with our sugar.
0:56
So today we have a brown sugar and a granulated sugar
1:00
and I'm gonna give it a really good mix.
1:07
You know sometimes I just don't know which button to push
1:10
and sometimes Teresa doesn't plug the appliances in.
1:14
- [Teresa] And I didn't.
1:17
- This is a great start to the show today.
1:19
Kind of like Christmas,
1:20
you never know what's going to happen.
1:22
But it all works out in the end.
1:24
Boy, I'm glad I didn't have that too close to my face.
1:27
All right, so I'm gonna cream
1:28
our butter with our brown sugar.
1:31
This is one of those recipes where you're gonna need
1:33
two bowls 'cause we're doing dry into the wet
1:36
and you know, it's a whole system.
1:38
You gotta make sure that you start
1:40
with dry and end with dry.
1:42
First bowl though, butters and sugar.
1:45
Okay, I've got this beaten up.
1:46
So what I'm gonna try to do is add
1:48
one little egg at a time to this.
1:57
This recipe takes a few minutes to put together
1:59
but it's only 45 minutes in the oven.
2:03
So, you know, baking is not really my thing
2:05
but when it's holiday season, I think it's our
2:08
responsibility to kind of make baking our thing.
2:11
Everybody's looking for something sweet at Christmas time
2:14
and a cinnamon pound cake, boy that really fits the bill.
2:19
So we got our eggs beating in here
2:21
We wanna make sure this is light and fluffy,
2:28
but I don't want to overmix it.
2:30
And now we're going into our other bowl
2:31
and what we have here y'all is
2:38
we've got some baking powder,
2:44
and then this is our little scent of cinnamon.
2:53
I'm gonna be covered with flour.
2:58
Okay, I think now actually we need a third bowl.
3:02
Let me see if I can grab one right here real quick.
3:06
What they'd like for us to do now is we're gonna combine
3:12
our three things together.
3:15
So we're gonna combine, you start with the dry,
3:18
you're gonna add a little bit of flour,
3:24
and then we're gonna add a little bit of our mixture here,
3:49
We just wanna make sure and get
3:50
all this incorporated correctly.
3:53
And so what I'm gonna do here y'all
3:54
is I'm gonna alternate adding these two
3:58
wet ingredients to our dry bowl here.
4:00
I started with dry and you just wanna make sure
4:02
that the last ingredient that we drop
4:04
in here is gonna be dry as well.
4:07
It'll take me one second and we'll be baking.
4:12
All right y'all looky there.
4:19
we're gonna go onto our parchment
4:21
into our pan right here.
4:30
I just blindly grabbed a tool from behind me
4:33
and I did not get the best scraper tool
4:35
but it is a nice tool.
4:38
- [Teresa] There's one in that drawer right in front of you.
4:42
- [Jamie] Let's make sure I get this evened out,
4:48
I want a rubber spatula for this bowl.
4:53
Make sure I get every bit of it
4:54
'cause mama's not here but mama's always here.
4:59
And if she walked in there and saw me
5:00
not putting this in there,
5:03
I wouldn't get to eat any pound cake.
5:05
Mama's traveling this week, she's always so busy
5:09
and I miss mom, but I really enjoy coming in here
5:11
and sharing recipes with y'all.
5:13
I asked that you check out my Instagram account,
5:16
see if there was any food on there
5:17
that you wanted me to cook,
5:18
and I've had some people jump on and
5:20
followed 'em for checking it out this week so,
5:23
if you see something on the Instagram
5:24
and you want me to cook it, we're always looking,
5:25
well Theresa's always looking for recipe ideas.
5:29
And I'm always happy to cook.
5:31
Look, this looks, eh, I'd give it a eight
5:35
out of 10 but it's gonna be delicious.
5:36
Y'all stick around we're gonna go 45 minutes
5:38
into the oven and our barely there
5:40
cinnamon pound cake will be ready.
5:43
Hey y'all we got our cinnamon pound cake out of the oven.
5:47
I don't know how it tastes, but
5:54
Isn't that so pretty?
5:55
Now you could tell that this is homemade.
5:58
And look at the crust on here, ooh.
6:01
That's what I ate, Mama got so mad at me.
6:04
See if I move this over.
6:10
Wow, that turned out perfect.
6:13
So now you can go out to the yard
6:15
and get you some green clippings.
6:17
If you got a holly tree at your house
6:18
you could put some holly around this.
6:22
You could put a couple Christmas ornaments around it.
6:23
It is really a beautiful cake.
6:26
It only took a little bit of mixing and 40 minutes.
6:31
Let it cool at your house but,
6:32
I'm paid to eat around here, so I'm gonna give it a try.
6:37
Probably gonna be too hot and crumbly.
6:42
- [Teresa] We have no patience when it comes to tasting.
6:45
- Well, we've got a job to do
6:47
and this is not gonna be too hot.
6:50
Look how moist and pretty.
6:52
Boy, this turned out good.
6:54
Now, if you wanted to, you could reach in here
6:57
and get you a little piece of
7:01
piece of butter and put it on your pound cake, that's good.
7:17
This pound cake is not as good
7:19
as my Granny Paula's pound cake.
7:21
But it's as good as any pound cake you can buy.
7:24
I recommend that y'all immediately put this
7:26
on your Christmas list this year.
7:28
Y'all put together this cinnamon pound cake.
7:30
It is delicious. I'm Jamie Deen
7:34
We'll see y'all around the kitchen.
