- Hi y'all. It's me Paula.
0:02
And I have got a confession to make to y'all.
0:09
I'm gonna share with y'all today
0:10
Mama's Pound Cake recipe.
0:14
But for the life of me,
0:15
I don't remember whose Mama it is.
0:18
I can't remember if it's my Mama's
0:21
or
0:24
somebody,
0:25
Lulu's Mama,
0:26
I can't remember.
0:28
Because I think this was
0:29
in my very first self-published cookbook.
0:32
So anyway, it's good.
0:35
So I'm gonna share it with y'all today.
0:38
And we're gonna start with two sticks of butter
0:44
and a half a cup of solid shortening.
0:49
And we're just gonna cream that up.
0:53
It's a very simple, basic pound cake, y'all.
0:58
(mixer whirring)
1:00
So you can take this with any way you want to.
1:03
I'm gonna flavor it with almond and vanilla.
1:08
And I wish I had some lemon extract
1:10
cause I think that's probably what I would do today
1:12
if I had it.
1:15
All right, so we're gonna add our sugar
1:19
(bowl clinking)
1:21
And I'm just gonna cream this up.
1:24
And then we have our flour,
1:27
and we have five eggs
1:30
and we've got one cup of milk.
1:33
And we're gonna alternately,
1:36
add the flour and the milk.
1:39
Alternately, we're gonna start with our flour
1:42
and we're going to end with our flour.
1:44
Don't ask me why, but it makes a creamier cake so-
1:47
- [Theresa] Miss Paula, don't forget
1:48
that I put salt and baking powder in the flour.
1:51
- Oh, thank you, Theresa.
1:54
So this was all purpose flour
1:57
and it has baking powder.
1:59
I think it's baking powder and salt.
2:03
Yes, it's baking powder.
2:05
We added a half a teaspoon of baking powder
2:08
and a half a teaspoon of salt
2:11
to our all purpose flour, which was three cups.
2:16
So this is a very, very standard pound cake recipe.
2:23
Very, very standard.
2:24
And I have a feeling, it was probably my Mama's.
2:29
(mixer whirring rapidly)
2:34
That it was my Mama's,
2:35
but it couldn't be somebody else's Mama
2:37
but I don't think so.
2:38
Cause it sounds so close to my grandmother Paul's
2:42
only she used,
2:45
she added sour cream in hers instead of the milk.
2:49
(mixer stirring)
2:56
So we wanna cream this
2:57
'till it's just kinda light.
3:00
And then we're gonna add our eggs one at a time,
3:04
beating well after each addition.
3:08
Okay.
3:11
This is the last of the flour.
3:16
And then, it's time for me to choose the flavoring.
3:22
How we wanna go with this cake.
3:24
And Eddie said, "Almond! Almond!"
3:29
And I have a tendency to agree with him.
3:31
What did you use Theresa on the one that you made?
3:35
- [Theresa] The rule follower used what the recipe said.
3:38
So it's called - And what did he call for,
3:40
- [Theresa] The vanilla - Vanilla. (laughs)
3:42
- [Theresa] But now Grandmother Paul's recipe
3:44
asks for both.
3:46
- Yes.
3:47
- [Theresa] Vanilla and almond.
3:48
- Yes, and I am going to do just that.
3:51
I'm going to use two flavorings.
3:55
And I have shown y'all how to make this wonderful,
3:59
wonderful homemade vanilla, because it's so expensive.
4:05
I mean, you buy a good vanilla and it is expensive.
4:10
Okay so. I wanna say, I love the little black pieces.
4:13
Can you get that?
4:14
Can you see that Eddie?
4:15
Have y'all ever bought ice cream
4:17
that says vanilla bean? - [Theresa] Vanilla bean.
4:20
- When you get those little black flakes
4:22
from the vanilla bean, that's when I like it.
4:27
All right, now I'm going to add a teaspoon.
4:34
I'm gonna fill it up real good,
4:36
with almond. (laughs)
4:40
This is going to tempt Michael so bad
4:44
on his keto diet.
4:49
So I don't think that this is keto friendly.
4:52
(mixer whirring)
4:59
Okay, so I think we've got everything in it.
5:01
Don't you Theresa?
5:02
- [Theresa] Oh, yes Ma'am.
5:09
Now see, I could just walk off with that bowl.
5:11
- I know you could!
5:13
Theresa gave up sugar for Lent, y'all.
5:17
And I would forget, and every time we'd come in here
5:20
and shoot these little videos,
5:22
I'd offer her something sweet.
5:24
She said, "You know, I gave it up for Lent
5:26
but I can have some on Easter Sunday."
5:32
- [Theresa] And I was better than I thought I was gonna be.
5:34
- I know I asked her when she came in today
5:36
I said, "Well, did you kill yourself
5:39
eating sugar on Easter Sunday?"
5:41
And all you do is eat raw batter, right?
5:43
- [Theresa] Yeah. That's not good.
5:44
- Did you eat the banana banana pudding?
5:45
- [Theresa] I ate the banana pudding.
5:47
- Right, what did I do with my?
5:53
Well Carrie, for Easter, Carrie made banana pudding,
5:57
Not Yo Mama's. - [Theresa] Me too.
5:59
- Am I getting this all over me or is it water?
6:03
And I made Grandma Hiers' carrot cake.
6:06
- [Theresa] Well, I have every friend that I know, asks
6:09
for Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding as their birthday cake.
6:13
- Really? - [Theresa] Mm-hmm.
6:14
- (laughs) People love it.
6:17
- [Theresa] So, if you haven't seen that video
6:19
or you haven't made that,
6:20
you just need to see that one too.
6:22
- Uhuh.
6:23
- [Theresa] Let me help you.
6:23
- Please this is so heavy.
6:25
- [Theresa] Why don't I hold it and you may-
6:26
- This is so heavy Theresa.
6:28
- Well, how about you, let me hold it.
6:29
- Wait I'm fixing the loop. Okay I got it now.
6:31
You just spin, spin, spin.
6:35
Did you use this size bundt?
6:37
- [Theresa] I sure did. I think I did.
6:39
- [Paula] And because some are bigger than others.
6:41
Whoa.
6:42
- [Theresa] Mine might have been, a tiny bit bigger.
6:45
- [Paula] Okay, oops.
6:48
All right, I think, maybe,
6:52
I can just start doing it this is way.
7:00
- [Eddie] Oh that smells so good.
7:01
- [Paula] Doesn't that almond smell delicious, Eddie?
7:07
Okay. Theresa, if you could help me one more time, please.
7:10
- [Theresa] Certainly.
7:11
- And let's kinda turn it, so we go to this side.
7:16
- [Theresa] How about I hold it?
7:17
- [Paula] Okay. Thank you.
7:25
You want me to accidentally leave a little batter in here?
7:27
- [Theresa] Yes, please. You don't normally.
7:29
(laughing)
7:30
- I know, but-
7:31
- You're chintzy when it comes to that.
7:32
- I know. You know, I wanna get every piece due
7:38
out of my pots.
7:41
Okay. That's it.
7:43
- [Theresa] Now, do you slam that a little bit.
7:45
- [Paula] Not this one.
7:46
I do my layer cakes but...
7:48
- [Theresa] Okay. Is there a reason why not this one versus,
7:51
or is it already dense enough?
7:52
Wow.
7:54
It's a very dense cake.
7:56
Whoa.
7:58
- [Theresa] Okay. So you put yours in the oven
8:00
'cause they're not going to get to see yours
8:02
and then you show them mine.
8:03
- Yes
8:04
- [Theresa] 'Cause it's so pretty.
8:05
- It is beautiful.
8:06
- [Theresa] It did turn out good.
8:07
- All right.
8:08
And do you want me to make a glaze?
8:11
Some kind of glaze for yours?
8:14
- [Theresa] No. You know I like-
8:15
- Because I can make a nice little lemon glaze.
8:17
- [Theresa] I got a lot.
8:18
I don't need it for, for me personally,
8:21
because I like it just like-
8:22
- You like it plain. Okay.
8:23
- [Theresa] You know why because I'm like how you grill it.
8:26
- Yes, toast it. You toast it.
8:28
- [Theresa] I toast it.
8:29
Are you not gonna lick your dish?
8:31
- [Theresa] Yeah, not yet though.
8:34
- Well, you better get or I am.
8:38
- [Theresa] Eddie's gonna go all over it too though.
8:40
- That's some ever more good cake batter.
8:42
- [Theresa] Mm-hmm.
8:43
- So, (singing) it's a Betty Crocker's cake. (laughs)
8:51
- [Theresa] It's probably not going to be
8:52
as pretty as yours - [Paula] No!
8:54
- [Theresa] but I'm pretty proud of it.
8:55
- [Paula] This is a beautiful cake.
8:58
And Michael Groover would kill himself eating this cake
9:02
because it's got that nice crust on it.
9:05
And he does love that crust. So...
9:08
- [Theresa] It's hard not to.
9:09
- [Paula] You can actually turn it over,
9:12
depending on which way you like to look at it.
9:14
- [Eddie] I like it that way.
9:16
- [Paula] So does Michael. Michael likes it this way too
9:19
because he sees he's got more crust.
9:20
- [Theresa] It does. - [Eddie] Yeah.
9:23
- But it's probably prettier the other way.
9:27
Especially, if you gonna make a glaze and pour over it.
9:31
- [Theresa] True.
9:31
- 'Cause you need those cracks so that glaze could...
9:34
So it's totally up to you.
9:38
You did a great job Theresa.
9:40
- [Theresa] Thank you.
9:42
I'm pretty proud.
9:43
- [Paula] I'm gonna lose my job.
9:44
It's what I'm gonna do.
9:45
- [Theresa] We don't have to worry about that.
9:46
- She's going to be the prep cook.
9:50
- [Theresa] Yep.
9:51
- And the cook cooker.
9:53
- [Theresa] I don't have that personality.
9:55
- So which way do you want it Theresa?
9:56
- [Theresa] It looks perfect that way.
9:58
- Okay. It is.
9:59
'Cause that glaze, it run down those cracks.
10:01
- [Theresa] I know but I think that's it-
10:03
- That glaze that you don't want.
10:06
So love and best dishes y'all!
10:12
Mama's Pound Cake, sure is good.
10:13
I just don't know whose mama it is. (laughs)
