That cake is the best! I've made that recipe so many times. 😋
Is there any way to skip the coffee?
wow, he can cook my sticky pudding anytime.. : D
I made the Gingerbread layered cake today, (November 24, 2021) for Thanksgiving. It was a hit. I surprised myself. Everyone loved it. Now, it will be a hit forever. Thank you.
Ermine frosting is THE BEST lol! So velvety and creamy… not too sweet. Try it! Well worth it.
I never never never refrigerate a cake. It changes the flavor. Cakes shoukd be made and ready to eat. Unless you have very unusual ingrediants.
Can someone tell me how to substitute with THE DATE LADY's Date Paste?
Gorgeous.
The creme anglaise looks amazing!
Can I dive thru the screen, save some for me, lux!
Date-Walnut- Applesauce cake. Yum Yum Yum Yum
I'm a visual learner, so I love watching the ATK videos, especially the Gingerbread Cake. I know a ginger lover whose birthday is in August, so a frosting that doesn't weep, and an impressive-looking cake that is as simple to make as a batch of muffins and is full of punchy ginger flavour? I'm sold! Next special occasion/birthday cake … found.
Thank you so much!
Sticky toffee pudding is usually served with vanilla custard (which is creme anglaise), lol, trying to make sticky toffee pudding sound fancy – it's an everyman desert, ain't nothing fancy about it, but it's delicious. How are stove top kettles still a thing, electric ones are so much faster, cost about the same and are generally easier to fill. Can't imagine living in a house without an electric kettle
Looks amazing!! I’ve never seen this type of ermine frosting. I’ll try it! And sticky toffee puddings sound awesome 😎
I really wanted to see them transfer the cake from the cardboard disk to the cake stand.
That’s the frosting my grandma always uses on red velvet❤️🥰
GREAT GINGERBREAD RECIPE ! Incredible icing…Good update on Toffee pudding. Thank you. RMH/Ohio
I'm an Englishman and I approve the sticky toffee pudding! Brings back memories!
Should I sift the dry ingredients or is doesn’t matter
Seeing as it has to cool for 2 hours, shouldn't you start with the pudding mixture before making the cake batter?
I can't fathom why the Hario was lumped together with these giant sized teapots. lol.
👍🏼💖🌺💚🌸🌹😋😋
Their hair is perfect it doesn't move
Would you please make a video how to bake in Breville toaster oven
The last time I tried to blitz dates in my food processor (kitchenaid by the way), I broke the machine.
Are these recipes in the book?
Can I use rum flavouring as I am a recovering alcoholic and don’t drink any alcohol 🍷 thank you! And I will be making that delicious gingerbread recipe!
Mmmmmmmm Keith
You CANNOT put coffee in recipes. There are those of us who know caffeine is not just poison, but also has the effects of an amphetamine.
that ginger cake sounds very interesting. And I've never heard of that type of frosting but it sounds excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Ginger and toffee ! Great episode! Two of the best! Can't wait to try these!!!
But I don't imbibe coffee per religious beliefs… Should I use more cocoa powder?
