I Baked a Cake Without a Recipe... It Was a Mistake

[@Scrofar]

simultaneously stunned, shocked, astonished, and terrified watching Ethan swallow a whole egg yolk without flinching, that was quite honestly a power move to instill fear

[@normsnorms8494]

im at the 11:24 mark and *what.*

[@VikingNidhogg]

How is that a power move?

[@yungwooden]

the alcohol prolly helped it go down

[@domg.1011]

I was so not expecting that. I was only on audio bc I was making my own cold smoker but I legit went back to watch that because I wasn't sure of what I heard. (tbh I also eat raw eggs but at least I denature them a little!)

[@auradiae]

I started off hopeful. Then he put an egg into frosting. I end this video a changed man.

[@shadehawk]

egg and flour...

[@Lurtz_s]

Just top your cake with a 2nd cake.

The whole video I was like "noooooo!... Ethan...nooooo!"

[@peanutkaneshiro]

​@@tatersoupin all fairness the cake wasn't bad

[@tatersoup]

​​@@peanutkaneshironot TERRIBLE. But then he said 400 degrees then said no 500 😅

[@madison4598]

I love how it never occurred to him to add powdered sugar to thicken the frosting and he just kept adding more flour instead

[@jam_jamster]

I am at the intro rn and this comment scares me

[@Sicanda]

Maybe his thought behind it was "I don't want it to be too sweet"? That would at least be understandable, even though flour was the worst way he could have solved that. ...Wait, no. The worst way would have been adding more baking powder. 😥

Yo I kinda wish he threw the frosting into the cake batter, it might’ve even tasted like it was supposed to then 😂

"No, fuck you, were going 500 degrees" Had me rolling on the floor

[@ElizaaKin]

Ethan drinking at the start, eating an entire egg yolk, adding tequila in the cake, baking the cake at 500°, and adding an egg in the frosting is not just his recipe for cake, but the recipe to die before 50....also the recipe to give me a fucking heart attack

[@lullsbaby9321]

So.... Fun times!

[@ElizaaKin]

@lullsbaby9321 absolutely!

i really thought that when the cake burned it would catch on fire because of the tequila

I haven't baked that much myself, but I know FOR A FACT that baking soda/powder is a teaspoon or less ingredient and it's killing me how much he is putting in there

[@abbyrose.00]

the amount of baking powder was alarming, but not as alarming as everything that happened with the eggs.

[@nick-sl3mc]

Ethan adding butter and barely any oil is actually not bad. He essentially just substituted the oil for butter which is what i do at home. Everything else- errrr

[@jessicabuckham3421]

Love the assertion that a good carrot cake has carrot in it. Truer words there never were

[@justalittlealien]

if a carrot cake doesn't have carrot is it really a carrot cake?

[@Naokarma]

@@justalittlealien It's definitely not.

[@SamanthaLaurier]

A good carrot cake has actual carrot bits visible in it, not just the carrot flavor

Uhhh just a warning if you ARE going to eat the DIY pickles in the fridge (assuming that wasn't a bit), pickling is a super scientific process and if you don't do it correctly, you can die from botulism poisoning.

[@ashleypisarts]

Replying to this so that Eef can see this

[@Naokarma]

Based on the way he talked about it, it's not a bit but he also seems very aware of how bad an idea it seems like.

[@dearkoma_]

[@soupy_soup2]

I don't think he's planning on eating them lol. They've sat in the fridge for a year and a half.

[@takenraven1324]

amazed that the cake turned out fully cooked without any burning when he tossed it in at 500F for 15 minutes

[@dimitribarronmore]

Oh, but it wasn't. It was impressively solid for how little time he put it in for, but it was not fully cooked.

[@kyles1813]

I'm a baker and watching this video activated my Fight or Flight response. Two minutes after the video ended I STILL have tension in my muscles. There ARE frostings that call for eggs (Swiss, Italian, and French buttercreams), but they must be COOKED with sugar in a water bath.

​@@Naokarmain that case, puree your own carrots and it should work the same!

@@FionaPGT Yeah, I've made carrot cake with a food processor my family has, and it tasted great. I'm just saying that it's better to do things yourself in situations like these, even in the event of it coming out a little chunkier, or something. Probably would taste better simply by being fresher, too.

[@Skelepony]

My Ma has made vegg-all cake many times in my childhood. Basically it's spice cake with caned vegetables that have been pureed and mixed into the batter. It taste amazing and you can't even tell there's a whole can of veggies in it.

As someone who is terrified of salmonella, this video made me want to cry so many times

[@thebadpoet]

If you rinse your eggs before cracking them, and crack flat (rather than breaking the shell over the edge of a bowl) it’s virtually impossible to contract salmonella from eggs. The contamination is on the shell, not inside the edible egg bits.

​@thebadpoet that's great to know! Thanks for sharing. I made chocolate mousse and was a little concerned because of how it is made with raw eggs... but it was so good.

[@cosmiclasagna]

overcooked veggies are so heinous i went to my friends place for new years the year before last and her dad was making dinner and it smelled AMAZING the entire time it was cooking right (he made schnitzel and mashed potatoes and yummy gravy it was great) but the veggie wound up being MICROWAVED CANNED ASPARAGUS and i will never be more proud of myself than i was for eating that without making a face lmao all the other food was great tho

[@zeebo30]

raw egg is used in a lot of things, and the concerns about salmonella from raw eggs is, from my understanding, a largely american thing relating to our poor standards of food safety

[@cattail64]

I have somewhat of an egg allergy. It's not everytime I eat something with eggs though. Only if it's raw, and the yolk if it's cooked as just an egg not mixed with something. However pastries and desserts I have no issue with. So that frosting would definitely be bad for me
