If you spray the measuring cup with cooking spray first (I usually use canola oil spray) it is SO much easier to get the peanut butter out of the cup. It'll slide right out. Pro Tip ;)

[@SunsetSullivan]

The best part about watching BrutalFoods is watching you roast yourself in the editing.

[@mysnellvilleblog]

Tip: When ya scoop into flour & powdered sugar, that has the effect of packing the ingredient. Hold the measuring cup then spoon ingredient into the measuring cup until it is heaped, then the flat edge of a knife to level. So when you consider that, you probably had too much of those ingredients. That’s why the peanut butter balls were so dry. The chef advice of specialty chocolate etc is not important at this stage of learning. I love your videos & I always laugh out loud!

[@explodingcrayonart]

Two super minor baking tips from one hobbyist to another: you can also check if the cake is done by looking at the top. If the top is starting to crack, it should be done. Also, I always poke a toothpick down into it as well, especially if you're not cooking with a convect oven. The cake may look perfect on the outside, but the toothpick will reveal the truth -- perfectly clean and done, or still liquidy and needing more time! :^) In the case of something like these that have a filling it may not work the same, but for other cake-y type goods (including brownies) it's a good means to test without damaging the cake! EDIT: also i don't know what it was about it, but that eagle screech near the end made me laugh so dang hard

[@thomasjenkins7506]

i also didn't like the idea of just dropping a chunk of chocolate on it right after coming out of the oven. i would have preferred to let it cool and pour the chocolate on later.

[@zimternet]

the toothpick method really does work, and I always let it be a lil wet so the cakes a bit moister. just me

[@cacodemum]

Yeah I was going to remark that the spring-back method is best for a cake like this because of the filling; a filling like that will always make the skewer or toothpick come out dirty which then could lead to overbaking. Spring-back method means it comes back up, meaning there's air all the way through it and no more liquid batter, and is just as much of a tell as a skewer. A cake top cracking also can't be used as a tell for all cakes -- rich cakes with a high liquid content like these are usually just going to dome, and you don't want that dome cracking because then you've overcooked it and made it too dry. tbh it's all about learning aha, different batters have different cooking requirements and tells :)

[@NinjaPickle]

"Count how many uh, count how many peanut butter balls there all there are all children" Practically Shakespeare

[@Theblaziken2000]

Him always editing to accentuate his eccentric hand movements is just so funny to me.

[@slowblindchild]

I love brutalfoods, and I think this episode is my favorite so far. To answer your questions in the video, a spoon or rubber spatula (what you used to mix the wet and dry ingredients together) was the best tool, baking soda is strictly sodium bicarbonate while baking powder is a mixture of that and a few other chemicals used for baking, the peanut butter balls looked fine, maybe a little less powdered sugar would have helped a bit (that's the recipe's mistake though, not yours), incorporated means to mix until there's no more lumps in the batter (over mixing would incorporate too much air into the batter which can cause tunneling in the cake, and will cause some uneven cooking). Also, as a tip, when you have large chunks of chocolate to melt on top of smaller cakes like that, it's best to chop it into smaller pieces. Or, if you have a good grater, use that to make flakes. They'll melt easier and faster, rather than cave the top of your cake in

[@imwastedenough]

I agree with everything you said, besides this one thing: it's best to spoon things like flour and powdered sugar into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of a knife.

[@imwastedenough]

I also like to sift dry ingredients with a sifter when baking.

[@slowblindchild]

C H I probably should have added those points in too, lol. I do that all the time. Becomes second nature when you've worked bakeries and kitchens most of your life

[@concaveUsurper]

I would also suggest melting the chocolate instead of plopping it on top to melt.

[@MorotsjuiceJE]

Id also recommend to use a pastry bag to get the cupcake batter into the jars. Less messy and easier to control the amount you put in without getting it on the sides of the jar. Good luck!

Pro Tip: when measuring peanut butter you should spray your measuring instrument with cooking spray so the peanut butter doesn’t stick.

I can tell you all about baking powder v.s baking soda! Baking powder contains baking soda. It is a mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar. Baking soda is a base, and you add it to the recipe to make the food rise. Baking soda is super at chemical reactions, which is why it makes cupcakes poof ever so nicely. Baking powder, and baking soda are used at the he same time where there is not enough of a chemical reaction to make it rise. That's why some recipes will have lemon, honey or brown sugars to act as acids to activate the baking soda. and for getting batter into small places you can use a piping bag.

[@Terraluvar66]

Also baking soda has a horrible taste

[@inanimate9181]

The best part of these is watching his sheer inexperience with cooking. Like using a whisk for solids.

[@jimmyredd]

You mean the dry ingredients? Whisking is a widely used alternative to sifting. How would you have mixed them?

[@robertharris6092]

jimmyredd uh. Mixing/sturing. With a big spoon. Or a electric mixer.

[@jimmyredd]

A whisk combines the ingredients better than a spoon would.

[@robertharris6092]

jimmyredd not if they're sticky and clump.

[@jimmyredd]

True. I thought by "solids" you meant dry ingredients. That's why I started with "You mean the dry ingredients?". A miscommunication I suppose.

[@jjs9672]

Just a heads up for the next time: If you have to measure out things like peanute butter again, lube up your measuring cup with a bit of oil. The PB will slide right out
