[@MeowMeowKapow]

For baking powder versus baking soda, I used to get confused by which one I was supposed to use all the time... until I cemented the difference. Baking POWder can rise with its own POWer. Baking SOda needs something SOur to activate. There wasn't anything acidic/sour in the pound cake recipe, which is why it called for the powerful powder. Might help avoid any future mixups!

Becky, I thought you’d like to know that you got a special shout-out from Jess on Roots and Refuge. In her latest video that focused on food preservation, she referred her viewers to your channel for inspiration and guidance. Way to go, girl!

[@debraflecker151]

Becky. You also got a shout out from Laura on Garden Answer, I think it was this week's recap video!

[@lastchancehomestead5116]

I came to link the video so she didnt miss it :) glad others did the same. 11 ish min mark Becky kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHzUe62YgtGMjJI. How great is it that these presenters give call outs when they are deserved. I was discussing that with my hubs. i started watching R&R years ago and started watching Becky when they channel was very small. It warms my heart the community that is here in the homestead/gardening world. I also love Laura i think all of us flower ladies and gents live vicariously through her beautiful gardens.

[@dahomesteadacre5099]

It's about time. The other content creators, like R & R are perhaps seeing or realizing that Becky is a greater, more realistic inspiration for us and those other content creators took far longer to gain popularity than Becky. Now on the scene, we finally have someone who is so real, and sweet, and humble, but they may see her as competition for those who can be a little too "know-it-all". Just be aware, sweet Becky. Keep being yourself.

[@erato_90]

I love that you're being honest about giving yourself a break. Too many content creators are too neat, too clean or just seem dishonest about their content. You keep it in the video even if it doesn't turn out quite like you wanted to, Josh can talk to you or interrupt you because as you once said "he lives there, too" and i love that about your videos. People all over the world are enjoying your content :)

Had a mayo disaster in the kitchen today. My first thought was Becky would have a tip about how to save this - the second was... but she says to give yourself some grace when needed. So I sent the hubby to the store (as it's a 5 min walk) and continued cooking our midsummer eve meal. Wishing you all Happy midsummer from Sweden!

[@diannahaskins9944]

Nyess over on Our Small Footprint has a video on saving your mayo. She is as lovely as Becky.

[@Perennielle]

Love how you started saying all of those sayings to encourage yourself when the pound cake didn’t come out as planned. You had me giggling! We all have those moments but thanks for sharing yours with us. Great job 🌟

[@Smacsek]

My grandma taught me to get a Bundt cake out of it's pan by letting it cool for 10 minutes first and then dropping the pan (cake side up of course!) On the floor or the counter and letting the pan bounce a little. Her cakes always came out clean.

[@wts7273]

It works great if you tip it on top of a tobasco sauce bottle! (Or worsch depending on the pan) while it’s cooling so it’s upside down for awhile!

[@inespm1]

Tip for the baked oatmeal: use the milk to "rinse" the rest of the apple sauce that was left in the jar (put back the lid and give it a shake) - zero waste! :) also works for any tomato product, really

[@mariannesouza8326]

Oh, yeah! 👍

[@bluebirdhomestead]

great tip! we do this all the time :) Works for any jar product. Just use water or stock not milk depending one the recipe.

[@reginagosse417]

I was thinking the same with the teriyaki sauce bottle! 😁

[@JuliaKadauke]

Absolutely! I sometimes cringe when I see leftover in the jars. But I imagine that getting all leftovers out of the jars is just cut out in the editing 😂

[@amelianoire4619]

Something I learned from my grandmother many years ago was that with Bundt pans, if you grease the pan and the also lightly dust the pan with flour, the cake will be much less likely to stick. I thought the flour step was unnecessary and left it out once... never again. It sounds strange, but it makes such a difference, especially with denser cake batters.

[@jenka_79]

I sometimes change the flour to small fine breadcrumbs, cookie crumbs or coconut flakes or whatever you want depends of what you are cooking.

[@tinyteatoker499]

You can actually get a spray now too with flour already in it and it's freakin' amazing. ^_^

[@desiree3488]

Yes they have a baker’s spray that has flour but it’s still best to dust it yourself

[@11hallki]

If the Bundt is chocolate you would use cocoa powder traditionally so as to avoid a white residue when it releases from the pan.

[@jenka_79]

@@11hallki absolutely, I use cacao when I make a chocolate cake. 👌🏼

[@LP2488]

I love pound cake! If you like almond extract, pound cake is really delicious with 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of almond extract. It’s so funny that you almost forgot the milk because the first time I make a pound cake after I got married it came out terrible! My mom had me come to her house so she could make it with me. When we finished mixing the batter I said it still doesn’t look right. She asked if I added the milk and I told her the recipe doesn’t have milk. She pulled out a newer copy she wrote(where I got the recipe from) and she had forgotten to write the 1 cup of milk. I still have that original card I wrote, with the 1 cup of milk added in 😆

[@glorygracefarm6843]

YES!!! I love adding almond flavoring. I recently found pecan flavor from Lorann on Amazon!! So good! I used to buy butter nut flavoring from McCormick, but undoubtedly they no longer make it. Buy this pecan flavoring and use it in chocolate chip cookies, pancake batter, cake batter, french toast, cream cheese frosting! So good.

[@deborahlawing2728]

I am so glad to see you scrape your bowls. I hated watching cooking shows where they dumped the bulk of the food into a baking dish or whatever and set the mixing bowl aside with maybe 10% of the food still in it. I'm too frugal to waste one tenth of my food 😁 Great video. Tou can always chunk your cake, pour the fruit over it, gently toss with the whipped cream and call it a trifle.

[@kriscastro]

after letting the bundt cake cool for the initial ten minutes, you can invert it over a cooling rack and then just let it sit for another ten minutes or so - the steam from the hot cake will rise up inside the inverted pan and help it release!

[@kirantariq5136]

Honestly, oiling and then flouring the pan would have been best. Fool proof

[@ameliamcdonald17]

i agree, letting it cool for about 10 minutes then flipping and waiting another 10 minutes helps it release along with the shortening and flour technique

[@lisab9541]

Can it cool on a cake stand the second 10 to release the cake in the stand, or must it be a cooling rack?

[@coolgirls4855]

[@zsazsathehungarian950]

Use sweet onions, it's a silver thing.

[@zsazsathehungarian950]

Sulphur thing

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

I actually cut them underwater in a oven sort of deep dish so that is stops the painful tear inducing gas from being in the air and means what does escape to my face is far far less potent by doing that i naturally discovered it helped dilute the remaining sharp bitter note that lingers in the raw onion and instead just had that fresh almost sauerkraut nice tang to it so dedinitely try cut it underwater i also pop whatever onion im using raw in the fridge in a ziploc for an hour at least but usually overnight since it helps calm it down a bit release less gas/juice and retain its shape a bit better which laat thing you want is raw mushy onions in your salad. Theyre better from the fridge like that so theyre crunchy as can be.

40 years ago as a newlywed I took cake decorating lessons. The teacher advised to grease and SUGAR your pans. Total GAME CHANGER!

Yes I once saw Martha Stewart grease and cocoa a cake pan for a chocolate layer cake. Cocoa or sugar sounds better than using flour when greasing pan.

Everything looks awesome! Quick Baggie tip - I converted to silicone baggies about a year ago. I still keep a box of disposables for certain applications but for almost everything I use the silicone bags. They are really strong, seal water tight and are much easier to clean than a plastic bag (if you’re someone who washes baggies to reuse them). If you vacuum seal things there are reusable vacuum seal bags too. Big money savers!

Potato salad my grandmother had strict rules chop to the size you want before cooking and season the potatoes (salt maybe pepper) while in water before boiling. Makes a big difference for us in the flavor of the potatoes and they keep the texture a bit better because you can handle them less before cooling.

A tip about dill: Use the stems in the cooking water for your potatoes! Discard when potatoes are ready, but spinkle some fresh dill over before serving.

I enjoy watching you cook, your enthusiasm is wonderful. A small tip, When you are measuring flour don’t shake the flour to level it in your cup, it packs the flour and gives you a Inaccurate measurement (too much). Fluff the flour first with a spoon, or spoon it into your cup measure, then level it off with a knife. Keep up the entertaining, informative content. You’re a joy to watch. XO Melissa

[@ohsogroovyannie]

Completely agree! Or use scales and measure by weight rather than volume. A lot more accurate and consistent every time

Love how you talked about it’s not big deal to mess up! I use to buy cakes because I was so worried about messing up! But now make them with a 2 and 4 year old and we have so much fun! Even if they are not perfect!!! Thanks for the reminder!!

Ever consider cutting way back on the sugar content in recipes. Everything is always great looling. I just use extra very good vanilla for whipped cream. Do you make special dishes for high blood sugar tisk members of your family. You are a wonderful cook.

Yesss you can never show us too many baked oatmeals! Haha I want to make one but haven’t yet

[@homesteadbythehighway8548]

😊Every time she makes one I say “honey I need to make you that, I think you would really like it” umm maybe this week it will happen

[@StefFrederick]

it is really good! we started making that because of her and it's become a staple. My favorite combo so far has been peaches chopped up and cooked bacon chopped up mixed in

I don't like oatmeal! The first time I saw her make the baked oatmeal I had to try it. Now I make it on a regular basis with all kinds of random goodies in it. So far I've tried: Banana and toasted walnut Peach with peach jam Blackberry/raspberry combo Toasted chopped hazelnuts with Nutella and milk chocolate chips [Delicious!] Blueberry Apple Cinnamon Cranberry My husband loves them all...he loves oatmeal so this was a great addition to our lives! Thanks Becky!! You're amazing!

My mom made the best potato salad (no dill but with eggs). She was a home economics teacher and said the secret to the best salad was to boil the potatoes with the peels on and peel after cooking. She also diced much smaller.She always added just a bit of raw shredded carrot for colour. And dressing was always just mayonnaise. Of course it depends on what you grew up eating what is the way to make some things. And i do not mess with my mom’s potato salad recipe. LOL

I think that if you turn your plate over on top of the skewers, the edge of the plate will press down on top of the skewers and push them into the water. It’s worth a try.

[@bonnieneufeldt1814]

Becky, you are sooo inspiring!! I've been with you since the very beginning, and I absolutely love your thought process of preparing ALL the things that you do for your homestead, and for Josh. I'm always in awe how you make it work for your family. Have a great housewarming party. I'm sure it's going to be a blast. Again, thank you for sharing your days with all of us.

I use a tube or angel food pan for my pound cakes (the kind where the bottom separates from the sides). Works like a charm!

A tip about bundt cakes. Bake as directed. When it comes out of the oven put a plate over the top of it for 10-15 minutes. The steam from the cooling cake loosens the cake from the sides of the pan. Invert the cake like normal and cool on a rack. It will not be soggy.

When you grease your cake pan, always grease it good and before you pour the batter in, dust the inside with flour. Dusting means pour about 3 tablespoons of flour inside and shake it around to coat every spot. Then go to your sink and turn the cake pan upside down and tap it to get the excess flour out of it.

My mom's potato salad is quite different from the more common potato salad. For instance, she mashed the potatoes to a smooth consistency. (Lots of black pepper!) She added chopped onion, dill pickles & celery. Then she mixed in pickle brine & sliced stuffed green olives. She smoothed it level in the bowl, then garnished it with sliced hard boiled eggs. Everybody loved it.
