I couldn’t agree more. Something as simple as having your ingredients at room temperature takes the result to another level. I grew up baking with my mother and have her to thank for teaching me and inspiring me but she was a busy working woman and was more of a “getter done” baker. Now she comes to me for tips and it’s because of these kinds of in-depth videos that I’ve been able to learn so much. Very grateful to have access to the instruction of professional chefs and bakers. And Sohla is delightful. I discovered @Food52 after the BA scandal and I’ve been loving the channel.

I’m a fairly good baker and make desserts and cakes often, but this is the FIRST TIME someone has ever said that “batter is an emulsion” and suddenly EVERYTHING clicked. I’ve also never heard/read the reason for adding eggs one at a time but the emulsion explanation makes so much sense. This is why Sohla is elite, she has so much knowledge and explains it in an accessible way.

This isn’t just “how to make any pound cake” this is “UNDERSTAND how to bake a pound cake so you can use those skills to make ANY pound cake”! I thought I knew how to make one before but because I didn’t *understand* what was important and what wasn’t they never turned out quite right. Skipped all that creaming and scraping that’s for sure... no more needing Entenmann’s basic pound cake for cravings any more!! Because of Sohla WE can bake it!

“Because of Sohla WE can bake it” is such a great saying. That’s her entire vibe. She teaches in such a wholesome way. Her approach teaches so much: patience, critical thinking, applied work ethic, the benefit of trial and error, and most importantly to just have fun. I posted it somewhere else but I’ll say it again-I wish she was around when food network was at its peak. She deserves the notoriety. Honestly an icon.

Now I want to be a pound cake master! I did baby steps first, from a box. Now I'm sitting in my kitchen waiting for the basic vanilla pound cake to be done and it smells good and looks good. The top crust has split at the top and I got 17mins more to go. My first ever vanilla pound cake from scratch! I took 4 hours just making sure I mix well and scrape. The final hour is into the oven to bake. Phew! I'll work faster each time I make this. Clementine is super adorable! I also watched her jump and excited hundreds of times. Just so cute.

As long as the eggs I buy are very fresh, I sometimes leave eggs out at room temp for multiple days before I bake with them! I’ve never had anything go off, the yolks still hold their tight round membrane. If I left eggs out intending to bake with them and then didn’t get to them for over 4 days, I do crack them in a separate bowl just in case.

I really appreciate Sohla’s explanations of the how and why behind the steps. It’s so helpful when you’re learning how to bake or cook.

Production, get this genius a proper oven. Sohla you took my hand in Yauco and said I got chu. Wow, Sara Lee was it, adding pounds of butter to my shopping list. Thank you.

So educational. Made a pound cake today and it had a dreamy batter and was droolishious! Thanks Sohla!

I like Solha, but I always giggle when American cooks say "room temperature"… hahahah because living in a tropical country (meaning: hot as hell basically always), it doesn't mean anything. hahahah

TRUE! Room temp to me is essentially oven hot.

Wait so what is the American room temp?

@@liangliwen4923 4:12 When talking about the pastry chef who warms up his flour Sohla mentions 72 degrees. That’s Farenheit, so it will be approx 22 degrees Celsius for the rest of the world

Dear Sohla, you’ve taught me so much and now it’s my turn. You can smack the mixer paddle on the side of the bowl just as you are the scraper. Xoxo

It all started with a History Channel video of Ancient Recipes... Sohla made the first Apple Pie recipe recorded, and then the first one recorded after America had it's Independence, and I was hooked on this young lady. So down to Earth and carefree, you can't help but smile (or even laugh) as you watch her videos. Two big thumbs up from me.
