My Virgin Kitchen is a KZbin cooking channel created when I wanted to teach myself how to cook and create a video diary of the journey / mrbarrylewis . I have never had a professional lesson & am just your every day chap attempting recipes to inspire you guys to try too. My Wife Becky (aka Mrs Barry) now joins in on the channel too, we upload 2 recipe videos per week, but some fun is had too on Sunday when it is our Funday where anything goes....including giant foods, mini foods, taste testing foods sent from around the World, kitchen gadget testing and many more. Any requests for recipes / cool stuff you've seen let us know! I try my best to reply to as many comments as possible, but it is hard to as we are busy working on the next video, but please interact with eachother and be respectful :-) #barrylewis

I like that she shows all the mess ups, lets face it we all do stuff like that when cooking. I was making tuna salad one time and it was suppose to be a hard boiled egg and for some reason I put in a raw one, thankfully I had not put in the mayo and just made tuna patty's instead. Things happen.

[@mrbarrylewis]

For sure trying to keep it real

[@thomasjenkins7506]

and we appreciate it.

[@Trashware]

Besides, showing what might go wrong (and how to unwrong mistakes) might save us viewers some time :)

[@al145]

And at least they caught it, as well. I've mixed up lines on recipes I know well, because I just glanced at them, and put the wrong amounts of liquid ingredients before. Oops.

[@morerobotwarscontent1476]

it's on purpose. It's a manufactored type of banter that millions of youtube channels do to make it more human.

[@VANSmallhousen]

She definitely deserves a second channel, really enjoy the videos just made the lemon drizzle cake yesterday

[@mrbarrylewis]

too much work for a 2nd channel, we are a team and plus if for some reason (wink emoji) Barry (or Becky) is away doing something else or ill etc Mrs Barry can host the vids

[@VANSmallhousen]

thats really cool, plus i like they way you don't edit out the mistakes it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch and makes it feel more real if you know what i mean, compared to these other videos where its so edited and pin point perfect its not as fun to watch as yours are. :)

[@Matt19matt19]

+My Virgin Kitchen please dont ever do a second channel. before you know it you end up with a channel for this and a channel for that. a main channel and vlog channel is perfect.

[@VANSmallhousen]

+matt n oh right I didn't realise they had a vlog channel makes sense

[@Matt19matt19]

+VAN Smallhousen theres a few youtubers i watch and some have as many as 5 channels. you end up missing videos and the subscriber amounts are thinly spread. better all on one channel.

[@carveylover]

I appreciate that you show how to hand mix your cakes. When I was in culinary school my first month of school they had us only hand mix our cakes, meringues, whipping cream, ect. It was to show us what a cake looked like done correctly and how you can fix it. It was torture but it built character.

[@TARDISJACKED]

That cake looks so lovely! Glad you caught the little misstep with the baking powder. I once did something similar. The recipe called for two teaspoons of baking powder and I wasn't paying attention and had the quarter cup in my hand from the last ingredient and I bassically put half a cup in the cake. I didn't catch it until i was two late and the cake was baking, lol.

[@mgiblunast]

She is the nicest most lovely human being ever I can tell

[@Simowl]

She is!! Like the mum that everyone wishes they had haha

[@fishyfish2935]

True

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

With a cool shirt too! lol

[@OwnStyledLady]

the kind of mom you usually only find in childrens books

They make a beautiful couple

[@mrbarrylewis]

Just get in the kitchen and learn matey, best way - learn from your mistakes and experiences and enjoy it.

[@KnugenMooMoo]

+Simple Finpool I can reply to it

[@finlaywhite3232]

+My Virgin Kitchen ok thank u love ur vids

[@jennamh8]

+My Virgin Kitchen hi I sent you a cookie recipie did you get it?

[@dilandemir1980]

I love the fact that you don't use the mixer, because I don't have a mixer and even I aan do all the cake recipes that you make. please continue to use the spatula, and I love you

[@dilandemir1980]

*even I can *

[@aaron_1761]

You two should do a bake off!

[@hallon23]

Yaaas

[@melstar1ify]

I so want to see that!!

[@tschondapaul2070]

yes!

[@rhysmcaneny5733]

Yessssss

[@Vibinator]

My Virgin Kitchen vs Sorted Food

[@cloverhighfive]

I feel you might benefit from a few tips... ;) 1. start creaming your butter alone to make it softer, then add your sugar in portions: mix, add more sugar, mix... 2. egg "one at a time" means: one egg, mix smooth, one more egg, mix smooth, so that your batter gets smooth, not with little pods of sugar-butter like yours did. BUT - that being said, #2 matters more or less with your cakes, as we can clearly see it's a stunning success nonetheless!! :D

[@MAashChick]

Thank you so much for this video, Victoria Sponge is the only cake I cannot manage to make... I can do beautiful meringue based recipes but a basic sponge is the bane of my existence.

[@jdavies8026]

Best Victoria sponge I’ve made, thanks v much 🍰

[@Darkside4]

I am from Texas and I enjoy listening to Mrs. Lewis talk. She a lovely accent.

[@jenifuhr]

I'm also from Texas and love her accent, it's very melodic and easy to listen to!

[@kayonpowell2496]

Just see this video in 2019.... Love how you make everything look so easy.... And you two are just so likable....omg😊😌😊😊😌

[@LA-fk7hc]

She’s actually so lovely to watch, suchhhh purity

[@agustinrios7809]

I love you two making videos toghether!!

[@nikkea1]

They are just too sweet together.

[@bwgreen]

I love the genuine reaction to the finished product. Really enjoying the lack of (or avoidance of) a script too. Looking forward to your next video already.

[@Bruno0Brown]

Mrs Barry good job, that cake looked amazing. You look so much more comfy in front of the camera now. Thanks for this recipe gunna try it looks so nice.

[@helenhughes7670]

I made a Victoria Sponge cake at school once. I put the icing sugar in with the eggs instead of normal sugar. It came out of the oven hard as a brick and even the tin had to be thrown away!

[@devium]

love how you guys leave in the silly real life goof ups and the banter between you two!! favourite channel by far.

[@ButterfieldEric]

Ice cold bowl and whisk will make the whipped cream come together quicker. Great video guys!

[@blackmore56]

Hey Becky, don't worry about those little quirks. My Auntie is a trained chef and when we were kids she came over and made these incredible apple pies, we were like your pugs wairting. Anyway when finished she covered them in (sugar), we all got a piece and all spat it out. It was course salt not sugar. We laughed and she cried. So even the top chef's fluff it at times. Barry you make a good sous chef. All the best. Spud

[@shideath69]

In case you wanted to know and didn't see or want to click the link in the description box for the recipe. Here it is: 200g caster sugar 200g self raising flour 200g butter 4 medium eggs 1tsp vanilla extract 2tsp baking powder Good quality Strawberry Jam or alternative 300ml Tub of whipping cream 1 vanilla pod

[@Melystle]

this looks simple and amazing! could this be done with a lemon cream and raspberry jam? instead of the vanilla pod could you add lemon zest and juice?

[@mrbarrylewis]

+Melystle yes a lemon cream would work well mix whipped cream with lemon curd only (prob not the juice not done that before unsure what it would do to texture) and that creates a lovely lemon cream

[@Melystle]

+My Virgin Kitchen that was my thought. wasn't sure how the juice would react. thanks so much for the advice! maybe some fresh berries too...yum can't wait to try this!

[@jenifuhr]

lemon juice will almost certainly curdle your cream, lemon curd plus lemon zest sound like the best idea! also be careful with adding fresh berries/fruit to your whipped cream, some are very acidic and will curdle or are too juicy and will break up the cream.

[@y0u5uf]

Such a nice Video to watch.. Even if you don't bake the thing.. Loved it..

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

The BEST cake in the world.. Love it and thanks for a great & entertaining video

[@broshmosh]

"Can you keep the noise down a bit please?!" LOL. You tell him, Becky! What a troublemaker.

[@dcswamp]

I enjoy the honesty with your videos, mistakes and all. i find it fun and refreshing to see that. keep up the great work.

[@jazzyaar5]

Love that you guys don't edit out the mistakes! Everyone makes mistakes but you bounced back well! Great video guys!! :)

[@HJF]

Love the silliness in this one. :D

[@mrbarrylewis]

cheers gotta embrace being normal, I know how weird that sounds

[@TheMrKennedy]

I love how confident you're getting Becky, it's a pleasure to watch!

[@mrbarrylewis]

She's getting way too good, I think Food Network are gonna snap her up.

[@TheMrKennedy]

+My Virgin Kitchen The legend himself! Hope your well mate!

[@tammybeattie2500]

Looks amazing! How much would 200g be in ml? Would be just a standard cup

[@chasependleton1161]

So glad to see you more on the channel Mrs. Barry (or Becky, I'm not sure what you like to be called)! Having you on really adds variation and almost an extra layer to the channel

[@DutchGamingNation]

maybe a silly question, but why are you adding baking powder to self raising flour? there is already some baking powder in it, maybe that is also a reason why the cake is huge (besides the little spoon miscalculation)

[@mehr1802]

It just came to my mind that I have never seen a "how to make nachos yourself" video. maybe that's an idea? love your videos 💜

[@dollylittle9274]

This Lady is so Lovely and the little mishaps make this even better to watch we all have a Blooper and this Lovely lady shows us how to deal with them and what a Lovely cake it turned out to be gonna try this very soon

[@alizahaslam3354]

Made your cake today and it turned out super moist ... thanks for sharing your recipe

[@margueritahancock5472]

How did you know how much flour butter sugar etc to put in your bowl??

[@psychman555]

Looks amazing Mrs. B! Combo of raspberries and cream is stellar.

[@dacultrex]

What type of cream is that? Being from across the pond 🇨🇦 I want to try and match up the ingredients. It looks thicker than whipping cream.

[@evecottom9966]

Great Job, Becky!! It was nice to see how to overcome a mistake cause I've made plenty of mistakes cooking and baking. 💐💐💐💐 Looking forward to more cakes.

[@April-vc9rq]

I'm so fascinated with these cake recipes that doesn't have milk or water or buttermilk as an ingredient. it looks delicious. Also, what do you mean when you say add the eggs in one at a time? cos it looked like you added all of them and then only mixed it.

[@mrbarrylewis]

just the editing, beat one egg in before cracking in the other

[@aquilestadeu]

Nice video. Very spontaneous and fun. Nice cake.

[@amybrown5539]

Mrs. Becky, you are so lovely. I love to watch you and Mr. Barry cook.

[@TheConcertEmporium]

Well done Mrs Barry.... That cake looked delicious

[@beautebyali6286]

Looks scrummy! Your such a natural in front of camera Mrs barry. ☺ x

[@beckyakindele3999]

Very luvly video. Please can I use all purpose flour instead of self raising flour?

[@t_a12383]

Becky Akindele mix in the baking powder with the flour so that would act as the self raising flour. If you don't use baking powder and use just all purpose flour then it would come out flat. Hope that helped

[@swatheofficial6465]

Ah a classic in the process of making this and it smells amazing thanks !!

[@mrbarrylewis]

nice one

[@swatheofficial6465]

+My Virgin Kitchen just polished it off delicious thanks so much !!

[@Waterflame]

I love that you leave in the bloopers. It reminds me that you're not pros, and that you're still having fun!

[@viperhalberd]

Becky is adorable with these videos! I love how you leave the outtake silliness in :)

[@michellebenna8539]

What is grease proof paper, is it just baking paper/ parchment? Is there an American equivalent? We have parchment paper(used for baking) and wax paper (cannot be used in baking). I have also never put paper in the bottom of a cake pan, just always used butter/shorting and flour. Thanks

[@clasherpuncher2898]

Please make more videos,it inspires me very much to become a chef when I grow up, pls😀😀😀

[@mrbarrylewis]

trying our best lol

[@clasherpuncher2898]

+My Virgin Kitchen yay😊

[@defenderofjustice7079]

Could Mrs.Barry make a fondant cake please?😊

[@TurnerDeShinker]

I would like That to!

[@nelson-dz2lc]

Yeeeeesssss

[@monahadi1388]

Um.... ok

[@mauriceh7558]

mss barry is really coming into her own. good stuff, also how much sugar do you guys go through?

[@kennethmaese4622]

MVK is honestly the most underrated channel on KZbin.

[@sweetninnocent2003]

I have been following you since giant candy!!! subbed to this channel and you don't disappoint. Love Love Love that we get to see your wife now too. She is absolutely adorable!!!! please have her do a giant candy????!!!!! PLEASEEEEE????!!!!!

[@Mercutio879]

When scraping a vanilla bean, it's easier to use the back (dull) side of the knife, keeps it from catching, and makes it easier to grab all the seeds.

[@kvarce417]

i love your personality in these videos, you seem like such a genuine, kind person :)

[@SOLOVEFUCKINGmuz]

Hi! I'm from Canada and I would find it super interesting if you guys gave a little background history to some meals that you are doing! Because I have a feeling the Victoria cake comes from the Victorian era. But again I could be wrong, which is why quick history would be cool!

[@familyfriends3215]

made a lemon cake after watching ur vid the other day..it was very yummy x

[@kiraworthington]

love watching you cook. such fun

[@AkantiaVT]

I admit I giggled at the little mistake with the baking powder. The cake looked amazing and I would love to give it a go

[@safiyahbholah3423]

I don't know if i just didn't hear some of the measurements but can you pkease tell me how much flour, butter and sugar you need? thanks 😊

[@RetchedSole]

It's on their website

[@shirleycastle5170]

Good help is hard to find especially in the kitchen. Lol Loving your videos they are great and love how you keep bugger ups in the videos. So normal and it's great to watch. We all make mistakes even the best of chefs. No big deal just keep going.

[@lovecara1]

I just loved this video. You and your husband are such a great and fun couple. I will definitely subscribe for more yummy recipes.

[@jju-sq7nl]

I made Mary Berry's recipe but it turned out dry :( Any ideas as to why it could be dry? Thanks!

[@maureenv7584]

Thank you for making this! I cannot WAIT to try this on my own. I appreciate that you show mixing by hand

[@conniepollock4778]

Becky.. You are doing an amazing job! I love watching you cook!! 👍👍

[@LetsPlayWithBex]

You two are so adorable. You can tell you both just blend together well in a relationship.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

I hope you don't mind Barry & Becky, I thought I'd leave a tip for you guys & viewers & possibly some a question or two ? Regarding bicarbonate of soda & flour ; you can omit both of these & use self raising instead, so you're just using 1 product rather than 2 :) No mishaps then (& Becky I'm speaking from experience, I've done the same...however I DIDN'T notice & the results were..er..interesting..!! I'm sure the bin enjoyed it haha!) May I ask (as I am genuinely interested) why you sometimes give out some of the measurements but bkf

[@mrbarrylewis]

Most measurements we do in passing, we tend to put a more detailed write up on our website as it has conversion tables on there etc

[@-_-8078]

Can we use vanilla extract? I LOVE vanilla extract

[@Slytherin1906]

You have such a lovely family! I love watching your videos. I have even made a recipe folder specific for your recipes. 🙂 Keep it up!

[@jonathansfavorites]

This video was great! Hahaha. Btw if you stir your vanilla bean seeds into a bit of granular sugar before adding it will separate the seeds for you to keep them nice and even.

[@Axqu7227]

Becky is so precious! I love how much she's involved now :) Awesome video!

[@mamonikumar7339]

I love her she’s sooo kind💕💕💕

[@smithygirl2468]

It actually looks so good. Actually Gonna try this..

[@moix5799]

Hee hee I loved this video the easy method and the added comedy was a bit of a laugh too. Making this for my mum and me today x

[@rks4828]

Omg I love her and all her quirks 💕

[@kimberlyjaye7312]

We love you Mrs. Barry.

[@anushikatharmarajah8777]

Hello I am big fan of your cooking and where did you get the cake tins from

[@geofflukins8913]

I am diabetic so what can I use as a substitute for the sugar and how much.

[@samnaz4352]

did you double the recipe by any chance because i baked mine it was delicious but it didn’t rise as much as yours it was small 😣

[@BakingWithElliott]

A classic yet tasty cake - awesome video Becky (and Barry)!

[@neverending9803]

you seem a lot more confident every time! Great job Becky! 😘

[@annapayne23]

Beautiful cake! Lovely! I very much enjoy your videos. ☺

[@bethsontag]

Well done Becky! It's my first time watching you and it was great. Beautiful cake I will certainly try.

[@AbsentAim]

loving the Mrs Barry videos!

[@lukesoper5997]

I made the lemon drizzle cake a few days ago and it tasted amazing but the glaze didn't work, any ideas?

[@mrbarrylewis]

Hmmm if it was too thick add more lemon juice too thin more sugar, or use icing sugar as an alternative

[@Angeliino]

I love her on this channel! I enjoy both of you guys and can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[@TheAmazingCheese1]

Could you possibly try making a vegan cake/dessert? I'd love to see you have a go at that :)

[@kennethmaese4622]

Heidi that would be lovely

[@user-en7jo5mu3u]

do you have to use the vanilla because we dont have any right now

[@sinmurray2357]

Generally you can get away without it, but the cake won't be quite as good; it'll lack a general bit of "something". You could substitute for almond extract or something along those lines? I think you could skip the vanilla in the cream without much issue.

[@R13Ang]

What is the general flour to sugar and butter ratio when making a standard sponge cake? I'm constantly looking up recipe's, then find the amount is too much or too less:/

[@luckyduckie2000]

Lovely cake...well done Becky!

[@jellybean13ct]

adorable! definitely need to try this cake.

[@centraloklahomatruckingllc9981]

Mrs B is so precious love you guys so much

[@Knuffelmaus456]

love your videos! you too are soooo funny! perfrct couple! 💗 little tip on the side: I find it easier to get the vanilla out with a teaspoon or a very small knife. just makss it a little easier and I'm way too clumsy to do it with such a big knife 😂

[@ashleyf1754]

Becky you're adorable! love that everything isn't serious but the recipes are great!

[@Mrsgates2010]

Wow that looks sooooo wonderful! Great job Mrs. Barry 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@irsawaheed5234]

Can i use plain flour instead of self raising flour?

[@carolynthornber748]
