- Hey, y'all, here at our house, we talking about Easter.
0:05
We have the best time at Easter
0:09
celebrating Jesus rising from the grave.
0:18
And it's important to me that I get my grandchildren
0:23
to understand what we are celebrating.
0:25
It's not just all about the Easter bunny and eggs, but why,
0:30
why we are celebrating this.
0:35
And Eddie just makes Easter
0:37
so special at this house.
0:40
I wish y'all could all come
0:42
and be a part of Easter Day here with us.
0:46
So this is one thing I'm gonna be serving,
0:53
Easter candy sheet cake.
0:56
So you know it's easy.
0:58
We are gonna go right
1:01
by the recipe on the box, which is buttermilk.
1:06
Now it calls for water, so this is the only thing I'm
1:15
buttermilk versus water.
1:23
and three large egg whites.
1:27
So we're gonna beat this for about two minutes,
1:29
and then we're gonna put it in our 13 by nine by two
1:37
And the kids just love this confetti.
1:40
You know those colors of
1:43
confetti all through the cake.
1:46
So we're gonna bake this according to
1:50
the directions on the box.
1:51
Let's see, for a 13 by nine,
2:07
My glasses are not strong enough anymore.
2:10
I got (laughs) I got to go to the doctor
2:12
and get me some stronger glasses.
2:20
This looks like frosting, doesn't it, instead of a cake mix.
2:26
That is one thick cake
2:31
and it's gonna be so good.
2:33
I'm gonna scoot it that way.
2:35
And I'm gonna pick up all this and put it in the sink.
2:39
If Theresa would put that in the oven for us.
2:42
- [Theresa] I sure will.
2:43
- I'm getting ready y'all to make the frosting for our
2:50
And I mean, it calls for a lot of powdered sugar.
2:54
It calls for eight cups
3:00
of confection sugar has about three and a half cups,
3:05
So I don't know if I'm gonna go to eight cups or not,
3:09
'cause that's gonna be a lot of icing,
3:12
but then I may, who knows?
3:14
So I've got my butter and I'm gonna whip it.
3:19
I'm gonna whip it good, whip it, whip it good.
3:24
You'll want that at room temperature.
3:29
Two sticks of butter.
3:31
So the recipe calls for, like I said, eight cups
3:33
of confectioner sugar, about a half a cup of milk,
3:37
some vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
3:45
for the cocoa powder to not be so extreme,
3:53
we would need to cut back on
3:55
that if we gonna cut back on the confection sugar.
4:00
and I'm going to measure one,
4:23
Now this would make one pound
4:32
frost s 13 by nine easy.
4:38
So I'm gonna mix this up
4:42
and we're gonna see what we got.
4:50
I'm going to add my milk slowly.
5:00
All right, I'm gonna come over here
5:04
and get me some more sugar.
5:09
Now, that was three and a half cups that I used.
5:14
So now that'll be four, that'll be four cups.
5:19
So I'm gonna add my cocoa
5:24
and I'm gonna kind of just slowly cut that in
5:31
with the confectionate sugar.
5:35
So we're up to four cups,
5:50
So if you wanna make it easy on yourself,
5:54
you would need a two pound bag of confectionate sugar.
6:07
So I guess we might as well go ahead
6:09
and do it right, kiddos,
6:11
because we don't have much sugar left.
6:18
I think I'm just going to dump that on in.
6:21
So that would be eight cups.
6:26
And depending on how chocolatey you want this,
6:33
you just use at your own discretion how much you want.
6:39
All right, I'm gonna add the rest of that milk,
6:42
and now I'm gonna add some,
6:46
but vanilla extract if I can get it open.
6:57
I am going to add about two teaspoons
7:10
So here we go, I'm gonna try to
7:15
get it all mixed up together.
7:18
Okay y'all, I finally got that frosting mixed together,
7:22
but I probably had three quarters of a cup of powdered sugar
7:30
I just felt like we'd had enough
7:34
and I had to add another fourth of a cup of milk
7:40
to make this spreadable.
7:45
And I just told Theresa and Eddie that the icing
7:50
is gonna be as thick as the cake.
7:52
- [Theresa] And there's a problem with that?
7:54
- No, not for me and you,
8:00
but maybe for others.
8:03
So that's what I'm saying, just,
8:09
you can cut back on the amount of frosting.
8:13
You can make it swirly or you can make it
8:18
slick, however you wanna make it.
8:22
All right, so now we're gonna top it with some
8:27
milk chocolate Easter eggs.
8:33
Just kinda randomly drop 'em.
8:39
And I know the uh oh.
8:43
Got some chocolate on the outside of that one.
9:06
I wanna make sure the kids have plenty of
9:22
Does that look about enough to y'all?
9:27
- [Theresa] It's pretty, looks good.
9:33
- [Paula] Who would like to try it?
9:36
- Now, we're both out.
9:38
- Oh, they gave up sweets for Lent.
9:42
- [Theresa] No you're not.
9:54
It's got me swallowing hard.
9:59
Did you get my spatula?
10:08
- (indistinct), this one?
10:09
- No, my little offset one.
10:12
- Look, well I, it was right here.
10:15
- [Theresa] Oh I took it.
10:17
Look at the icing y'all.
10:30
Chocolate lovers are gonna be in heaven.
10:38
Y'all, I'm sorry you don't have any.
10:44
- [Theresa] You're not, boss.
10:47
Tell us how much you love chocolate Eddie.
10:54
- Actually chocolate's not really my favorite.
10:57
- Oh no, Eddie, you lying.
11:09
Oh, the crack of the egg is so good, Theresa.
11:14
- The warmth of my mouth is making it melt.
11:19
- You're not going to a good place,
11:28
- Don't, 'cause you know what?
11:33
It's really not all that good.
11:36
- [Theresa] Go away.
11:38
- [Theresa] Go away.
11:40
- Look, just one bite.
11:44
- You're like the devil.
11:47
- Love and best dishes y'all (laughs).
