chocolate cake, fun starbucks drinks and a GRWM

[@kates7277]

Thing about berries is that it's really hard to find fantastic ones; a perfect strawberry is the most delicious thing ever but a mediocre one is a huge letdown. A disappointing apple is better than a disappointing strawberry but a great apple can't touch a great strawberry. So do you want fruit that's reliably 7/10 (apple) or do you want to gamble on your fruit being 2/10 vs 10/10 (strawberry)? Ok, psychoanalysis over...

[@amy3971]

This is totally right. And he fact that most of the time berry flavours are often done so badly that they’re indistinguishable from one another

[@milawilson6361]

I live in Tennessee, and we get our strawberries from up in Virginia. Springtime is peak for them, and they are some of the best strawberries you’ll have in your life. Apples are pretty great too… honeycrisp and gala apples are fan favorites around here.

[@katherinelinford7432]

@Kate S 😂🤣😂 You totally hit the nail on the head. Me…I will eat apples regularly, and take my chances on strawberries 🍓 when they look amazing lol. Though to be honest, don’t turn down much fruit…period lol!❣️🍓❣️🍏❣️🍎❣️🍏❣️🍓❣️❤️💚❤️💚❤️❣️

GRACK please PLEASE DO A “BEST OF” series!!!!! I can’t wait to make the chocolate cake and I really want you to find the best cookies, muffins, brownies, pie, etc

[@salomeydraws]

Does anyone else see Grace post but save her video for the next day for when you're having lunch so you can *properly* concentrate and watch it? Not just me right? 😂

[@lydiamckenzie-stephens7686]

same though

[@xingcat]

I thought to myself, "Grace is silly, I found the greatest chocolate fudge cake recipe online," and you linked THE SAME RECIPE! I can attest, it's a great chocolate cake.

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

This exact recipe is the HERSHEY Cocoa recipe!! I am 57 years old and have had this for my birthday ever since I was a little girl. I was so excited listening to everyone’s rave reviews! I completely agree! ♥️🍫

[@NinaRibena10]

The good thing about pre-mix cakes is if you are not a regular baker you just buy one mix and you have all the ingredients you need rather than needing to buy lots of separate ingredients! Great video as usual!

[@laulau194]

And I think the opposite reason is probably why regular bakers are a bit dubious about them - I don't think they taste bad or anything, but since I pretty much always have the ingredients to make a cake on hand they are not good value for me and don't save a lot of time either

[@nat3007]

It's also easier if you are cooking with young children as well. Also because they come with icing although I bake I don't tend to have icing or rice paper characters in.

[@Kari_B61ex]

That cake looked out of this world gorgeous - I'm saving the recipe. I was half expecting a Phoebe and Monica Nestle Toll House type cookie reveal and initially thought it was a Betty Crocker cake mix cake.

[@__-Michelle-__]

I'm so useless at baking, I'd love it if Grace did a baking for beginners series. I'd love to bring some lovely bakes home and shock my family 😅

[@elodybarugh5364]

Love the chill homey vlogs :) I’m rewatching vlogmas and I’m ready for the great advent calendar hunt this year!

[@merelwoodford8059]

PLSSS a best of series would be amazing !!!!

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

I recognised that cake recipe right away, I use it for cupcakes as it is actually reasonably low calorie so it works well with my diet and the rest of the family absolutely love it too. I totally agree with Grace, give it a try!

[@aishlingkeane610]

Have been watching back old vlogs & then watched this & I love seeing you and your family grow and flourish ! Shout out to Chloe for her appearance 👏🏼 💕

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

Those oil cakes are really good, lots of the recipes come from back in the day during war time when butter was rationed. That's why a lot of them seem to have minimal ingredients. (I did a report for school once about war time cooking!)

[@nat3007]

Actually I'd love that if Grace attempted to make a cake out of the rations I know carrot was often used as a substitute for sugar.

[@amyjones4744]

brilliant video as always grace! all my favourite things - you chatting to us like an old friend, trying out new things & a surprise Banksy appearance :))xx

This is my GO TO chocolate cake recipe!!! Makes me so happy you love it from one chocolate gal to another

[@sarahbabylove13]

the only time strawberries are good is for 2 weeks of the year when British strawberries are in season. they are the best then they go tasteless. The same thing happened to me in lockdown i made my usual insane chocolate cake and i found a quick chocolate frosting and it was so good but i lost the screenshot and i can't find it anywhere. I remember it was hot water cocoa powder and i think butter i cannot remember but it was so good. It was a 1 minute frosting recipe.

Do you have Duncan Hines cake mixes? They are the best where I am, but I always prefer homemade. Yours looks so good, Grace, but I really think you should give berries a second chance, WITH the cake, along side. Raspberries...mmmm! (Only Pick-Your-Own are good, though.)

Pausing the video to comment this; YES strawberries are overhyped. The berries have not been on good form this year tbh. They're not bringing their A-game. Mango and apples on the other hand, great work. Couldn't agree more. Honorary mention to melon too. Okay, normal service can now resume

[@LeeGeez]

Maybe you "going off" berries is related to the amount of sugar you eat. Processed refined white cane sugar changes your tastebuds as you become addicted and things like berries, the lowest fructose content of the fruits, no longer taste as appealing. Mangoes and other tropical fruits are higher in fructose. Even apples and grapes are being "designed/developed" lately to taste sweeter.

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

You know, Grace, I watch your videos for a long time, but I must say that you haven't aged a day! Also it seems all these calories and sugar have absolutely zero effect on you! You still look super fit! That's against physics. lol ... Cheers!

Drawing a bath would be the archaic term as Grace is using pressurised plumbing and not a pump or well. Running a bath would be considered the correct modern term
