6:04
box mix because they just don't taste
6:06
right to me you know when I make a
6:08
homemade cake what is it I don't know
6:11

H well I wonder what in the world it is
6:34
I don't tell me what you how you make a
6:37

6:41
in front of me I cannot I cannot do
6:43
anything without a recipe you you can't
6:45
remember what brand of flour or anything
6:48
like that
6:51
no well Heather it's different all the
6:55
time you know I just I don't know what
6:57
it is they just don't taste right tooo
7:00
huh are you in Northern
7:02
Louisiana no I'm in central okay so I
7:05
was thinking
7:06
altitudes uh so the does the cake bake
7:11
up right does it look right it yes it
7:15
bakes fine I mean it looks right it just
7:17
doesn't taste
7:18
good how about the pans that you're
7:21
cooking them
7:22
in they're I usually use wilon pans just
7:26
you know just normal cake pans I'm I'm
7:28
not familiar
7:30
with with that brand
7:35
um do you spray your pans with
7:38
anything I spray them with
7:42
uh oh my mind is blank it's
7:45
the the spray that's like Pam but it's
7:48
got the flour in it and I can't think I
7:50
can't think what it's called now it's in
7:53
a white can I use that same thing too it
7:58
it was shef fire yes I was wondering if
8:00
it was something like that how about
8:02
your vanilla do you use a good grade of
8:06
vanilla
8:08
yes well girl I don't know what it could
8:12
be because it looks
8:14
right it's just looks right it's just
8:17
wrong when you put it in your mouth
8:19
that's
8:20
it tastes like poo poo yeah is something
8:24
in your
8:25
oven maybe so but it's usually just
8:28
cakes like everything else is fine maybe
8:31
I just don't like homemade cake yeah
8:33
maybe you just don't like
8:37
cakes because I eat them five and it's a
8:39
box mix but they just don't taste right
8:42
to
8:43
me well I tell you what to
8:47
me uh my grandmother Paul's recipe for
8:51
sour cream pound cake uhuh is the best
8:56
cake the yes it is the best pound cake
9:01
and uh it you can find it on my website
9:04
or that's what I was going to say can I
9:05
find it in my cookbooks uh yes and it's
9:09
it's so easy to make you it calls for a
9:12
cup of sour cream I can't remember how
9:14
many eggs so I make one pound cake that
9:17
calls for eight
9:19
eggs and I can't remember what Grandma's
9:22
calls for either four to six eggs and
9:25
butter I mean it's so so simple uh and
9:30
you know you
9:31
alternate the eggs with the flour okay I
9:35
think it is or either the sour cream
9:38
with the flour but you always want to
9:41
make sure you start with the flour and
9:44
you end with the flour
9:48
okay okay I'm gonna have to try that
9:51
then I'm gonna have to find your recipe
9:52
and try
9:55
it yeah and how about how about your
9:58
oven
9:59
do you know well she said the cake looks
10:01
fine when it comes out just tastes like
10:04
poop it does it looks fine my oven is
10:08
crazy though it is I always have to turn
10:10
it down it runs hot it
10:14
does okay because you know you could get
10:16
you a
10:17
thermometer and put in there I need to
10:21
do that because it always runs hot yes
10:25
and if it registers 350 and you want to
10:28
cook on 300 you you know you'd have to
10:30
just lower your temp right well I wish I
10:33
could be more help to you Heather I
10:35
swear to Peter I'm gonna try this recipe
10:39
that you're telling me about okay I'm

10:44
we all just love you I had to tell you
10:46
real quick while I got you on here my
10:49
son my son is now 13 but when he was
10:53
little like two maybe three we used to
10:55
love to watch it on TV we still do but
10:58
he especially would watch you and for
11:01
some reason I don't know why he called
11:03
you Pony and he always wanted to watch
11:08
Pony knew exactly what he was talking
11:10
about so to this day we still refer to
11:13
you as Pony funny oh I love it I love it
11:18
you know I have no clue where he came up
11:20
with
11:21
that you know I have had so many people
11:25
tell me excuse me my dog my dog sees
11:28
somebody
11:30
and uh so he's going to bark for a
11:34
minute but that's all right um I've had
11:37
so many people tell me that their little
11:41
children were glued to the TV when I was
11:44
on and it must be something about my
11:48
accent maybe so because I cannot tell
11:51
you how many people have told me that
11:54
same story it was so funny to me though
11:58
I mean watch his Pony than watch or
12:02
