- Y'all, today is such a very very special day
0:06
for me to be with y'all.
0:09
We're all about Valentine's Day today,
0:13
and I'm in here in the kitchen
0:15
with somebody that means so much to me.
0:22
She spent the last 10 years of her life
0:27
and my brother, Bubba's, life,
0:31
my sister-in-law, Sandy Neville, is here with me today.
0:36
And she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met
0:42
inside and out.
0:46
And I can't wait for y'all to meet her.
0:49
And we gon' see if we can get some stories out of her
0:53
concerning my crazy brother, Bubba, who I miss so bad.
0:59
Sandy Neville, y'all.
1:01
My sister-in-law.
1:03
(Paula laughs)
1:04
Look at this beautiful woman.
1:06
How beautiful is she?
1:08
But y'all- - Precious.
1:09
- The real beauty is in here. - Just like yours.
1:14
- No, you are more...
1:16
Well, thank ya.
1:18
I'll take it.
1:20
But you're so...
1:23
Your heart is so pure.
1:24
- Aw.
1:25
- It's so pure.
1:28
We are making one of Bubba's favorite cakes,
1:31
and one of Sandy's favorite cakes today,
1:33
and it's certainly one of mine.
1:35
And we are making,
1:38
Sandy, we gon' make the
1:39
strawberry cake. - Strawberry cake.
1:41
- Yes. And this is the newest magazine that's out.
1:44
And I just wanna remind everybody,
1:48
you can get this, this is us.
1:50
I have a special deal running on my YouTube videos.
1:56
You can get a years subscription for 16.99.
2:02
It's like 75% off of the newest price standards.
2:07
So it just makes the most wonderful little gift,
2:10
you know for Christmas or birthday.
2:13
- They should order that for their wives
2:14
for Valentine's. - Yeah.
2:15
For Valentine's Day or...
2:20
Your mother.
2:21
- Oh yes. - You know,
2:22
for Valentine's Day. - Definitely.
2:23
- But anyway, we're gonna make this
2:25
simply strawberry cake in here.
2:27
Now it's probably a little- (Sandy mumbles indistinctly)
2:29
I know, I love them too.
2:31
So it's probably a little different,
2:33
maybe from the one that you've made.
2:35
How many times have you made the strawberry cake?
2:37
- Once. - Okay.
2:38
- Because I ate the whole thing,
2:39
and then I didn't wanna do it again,
2:40
so I didn't eat another whole cake.
2:42
- Okay. (Paula laughs)
2:44
- I can't do desserts that I love because-
2:46
- I know, I know. - I can't stop eating.
2:48
- So if you would do this.
2:52
If you would, yes. If you would beat this.
2:56
- Okay. - Butter.
2:58
And we've got a three ounce box of strawberry Jell-O.
3:04
Not the instant kind.
3:07
So, and we've got our sugar.
3:09
So if you would just beat that till it's creamy.
3:14
And then I will come over here.
3:16
- Okay.
3:17
- Yeah, just beat the heck out of it, sister.
3:21
And while you're doing that,
3:27
I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna take the flour
3:32
for our cake.
3:34
I'm gonna add soda,
3:40
baking powder,
3:43
and salt.
3:47
And I'm just gonna whisk that together.
3:52
It's almost like sifting.
3:54
Kinda of a cheat cheatin' sifter.
4:00
Okay, Sandy, how you coming, darling?
4:02
- [Sandy] Just look.
4:03
- It looks great.
4:04
I'm gonna go ahead and add your eggs in.
4:07
We'll beat those in.
4:10
So we've, Sandy has got our eggs, our sugar,
4:14
our Jell-O mixed up, just added the eggs.
4:19
She's beat those together.
4:21
So now we're gonna add our flour,
4:24
alternately with our buttermilk.
4:27
Starting with the flour,
4:29
and ending with a flour, y'all.
4:32
So if you'll supply the electricity.
4:35
- Okay. - I'll supply the flour.
4:37
- All right. - And buttermilk. How's that?
4:45
(electrical whirring)
4:54
Let me know and I'll scrape the sides for you
4:57
when you're ready.
5:00
So that's it.
5:01
Don't wanna over beat it,
5:03
but we've got all the ingredients in there,
5:05
starting with flour and ending with the flour.
5:10
Okay. - Okay.
5:11
- Let's see if we can get. Excuse me, I'm gon' see.
5:13
Stand back. (Sandy laughs)
5:15
I don't want to get you, I don't mind getting me,
5:17
or Eddie.
5:22
Okay.
5:24
That was as far as I could take it.
5:29
Now all we have to do is fold in
5:33
half a cup of fresh, diced strawberries.
5:37
So we'll just fold that in,
5:38
and we're gonna bake this in a 13 by nine by two,
5:42
which I love a strawberry cake baked like this.
5:47
Because you know, when you layer this, it can kind of...
5:53
It can kind of, this is just a neater way to eat it.
5:57
- [Sandy] I like it in a-
5:58
- [Paula] 13 by two, is what I'm trying to say.
6:01
So...
6:03
- I like it like this more than layers.
6:05
- Yes, I do too, 'cause you get a lot of icing
6:08
and a little cake.
6:10
Just the way I like it.
6:13
How about you?
6:14
- It's just something.
6:15
- Yes. - Tastes better about it to me
6:17
- [Paula] All right, now our pan has already been sprayed
6:22
with a non-stick, Sandy, so you can put it in there.
6:26
- Okay.
6:27
- Anytime you're ready.
6:30
Now we're gonna bake this.
6:34
Look at that, I'm gonna have to lick my pages.
6:36
(women laughing )
6:38
Oh, look. Look how real it looks
6:41
with that... (Paula laughs)
6:43
With that batter on it.
6:46
Oh, we're gonna bake it for
6:55
45 to 50 minutes,
6:57
until stick in a wooden toothpick and it comes out clean.
7:03
But you can usually look at it and tell.
7:06
I like to kind of touch the top of my cake.
7:09
And if it kind of springs back, you know it's ready.
7:13
And you'll see it pulling away from the sides too
7:15
is another. - That's a thick batter.
7:17
It's like a pound cake. - Uh-huh.
7:20
It is a thick batter. - And butter too.
7:23
- Yes.
7:25
All right, Sandy,
7:27
you ready to make that frosting for that strawberry cake
7:31
that's driving us crazy?
7:34
All right.
7:36
We got our butter.
7:37
- More to eat. - A little-
7:38
Yes, a little salt.
7:40
An eight ounce package of room temperature cream cheese,
7:48
which it don't get no better.
7:49
- Keep this spoon.
7:52
- Y'all. (Paula laughs)
7:53
- Do what?
7:54
Keep that for your spoon rest.
7:56
- Yeah, yeah, I do.
7:57
I think they butter wrappers and cream cheese wrappers,
8:01
they just make the best thing.
8:05
Oops.
8:06
Alright, I'm gon' let you beat this,
8:07
while I go fix my cup of coffee.
8:09
- [Sandy] Oh.
8:12
- And you know...
8:15
Cream cheese icing.
8:19
Some people will put more butter.
8:21
Some people will put more cream cheese,
8:23
but they're basically the same.
8:25
So I'm gon' go grab my cup of coffee.
8:28
If you'd be creaming- - Okay.
8:29
Sure. - Those two things together.
8:31
All right. Do you have your coffee?
8:33
- I do.
8:34
- Okay. - I'm ready for my
8:35
strawberry cake. - Okay.
8:39
All right.
8:40
We're adding our powdered sugar.
8:45
(electric whirring)
8:52
- Woo.
8:54
Down. (Paula laughing)
8:56
- We gon' look like the Pillsbury dough boys.
8:58
So I'm just gonna...
9:01
I'm just gonna fold those strawberries
9:04
that have been diced nice and small.
9:09
Thought you was gon' get away from me, didn't you?
9:12
No.
9:15
And it's gonna tint our frosting just a little bit.
9:20
It's gon' 'cause it to turn a light pink.
9:29
Pretty, pretty, pretty.
9:32
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty.
9:35
Real putty.
9:38
All right, you think our cake is cool enough?
9:43
- [Micheal] Yes.
9:46
- I like what- - Micheal just,
9:48
Micheal just walked in the door from work,
9:50
and he's, he doesn't even know how long
9:52
we've been chilling it,
9:53
but he says it's cool enough.
9:55
- Looks ready.
9:57
- Just love the minced strawberries in it.
10:00
It makes it look like a polka dot icing, you know?
10:05
- [Sandy] Oh, it's so pretty.
10:07
- Isn't it beautiful? - Mhm.
10:12
- Lady named Miss Gloria,
10:15
that helped me when I was in the Best Western.
10:20
Most precious woman.
10:22
She was a character in
10:23
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,
10:25
but she was a real character.
10:26
Yeah. I mean, she was a real character.
10:28
- [Sandy] Oh, the real thing?
10:29
- Yeah. I mean- - Is that the one
10:31
who works to do laundry?
10:32
- No. No.
10:34
Miss Gloria passed away.
10:38
Oh.
10:42
Oh, I think I was still in the Best Western
10:44
when she passed away,
10:45
but every birthday I had to make her a strawberry cake.
10:50
- Oh. - For her birthday.
10:52
She loved it so good.
10:55
And I loved her so good.
11:01
Okay.
11:02
- For my birthday, Paula said,
11:04
"what kind of cake do you want for your birthday?"
11:06
And I said, "banana nut cake."
11:10
She said, "okay.
11:13
Coconut cake."
11:14
(women laughing)
11:17
I said, "well why did you ask me?"
11:20
- [Paula] I dunno why I did, and then change it on you.
11:23
- I don't know.
11:24
My choice wasn't coconut do nothing.
11:27
- All right, there you go. Maybe that'll make up for it.
11:30
(Paula laughs)
11:31
- [Micheal] No, it's too late.
11:32
(Sandy laughs)
11:35
- Is that not beautiful?
11:38
Beautiful ain't it? - Strawberry.
11:41
Short cake. - Strawberry heaven.
11:44
To miss Gloria.
11:48
To Bubba, Micheal, Eddie.
11:52
- Thank you. - To Lisa.
11:53
To everybody that I love.
11:57
Enjoy.
11:58
Eddie, can I go ahead and cut you a piece?
12:00
- [Eddie] I'm gonna cut myself a little piece
12:01
because- - Okay.
12:03
- I'm about- - You think I'll cut it
12:04
too big? - I'm about caked out.
12:05
- [Sandy] Oh.
12:07
- [Eddie] We've had some serious cake around here.
12:09
- Yes, we have.
12:12
All right, that's my piece right there.
12:14
- [Eddie] That's about the size I want.
12:16
That's- (Eddie laughs)
12:18
- Oh my gosh, it is so good.
12:20
- [Micheal] It is.
12:24
- That's whoa.
12:26
- You guess.
12:27
- [Lisa] I might have to make this for Valentine's Day.
12:29
- Oh. (Paula moans)
12:32
- That's a great idea.
12:34
- [Micheal] For me?
12:35
- Make some more.
12:36
- [Lisa] I'm not so sure about that.
12:39
- Well, I, I...
12:41
I just had a fight off my knife.
12:48
The cake is still-
12:48
- Yeah, this is good. - A tad bit warm
12:50
in the center, which makes it so-
12:53
- Oh. - Good.
12:54
- Good.
12:56
- That's what made me want coffee.
12:57
Warm cake. - Happy, fat boy?
13:00
- Yes, I am. (Paula laughs)
13:06
- [Paula] Maybe that'll help get you through work.
13:09
- [Eddie] Mhm.
13:10
- Maybe you'll want strawberry cake your next birthday,
13:13
and she'll make it.
13:14
- Yeah. And I'll make it. - Don't matter what I pick.
13:17
- Then I'll make him a banana nut cake.
13:21
- [Eddie] Whatever I pick is Paula's favorite,
13:24
which is coconut.
13:25
- Do the opposite.
13:27
Oh.
13:28
- Love and best dishes, y'all.
13:30
I wish every one of y'all were here
13:32
to eat a bite of this cake with us.
13:35
- [Eddie] I'm glad they're not.
13:37
(Sandy laughs)
13:38
- What did you say with a mouth full?
13:41
- [Eddie] I'm glad they not, they'd eat all my cake.
