Quarantine Cooking: Butternut Cake Recipe

[@SuperRecka]

"Love and Best Dishes" should be the title of the show. Cause that's what home cooking is all about!

[@Swim136]

Was that name used years ago on Cooking Channel?

[@jw77019]

My grandmother made this frequently. She was from Dothan and I don’t think ever lived anywhere except Donalsonville, GA, Henry Co., Ala., and Dothan. My mother stocked the “butter & nut” flavoring constantly and I’m sure she got it at A & P, Winn Dixie or Piggly Wiggly. We always did it with lots of pecans in the cake and frosting. Recently my elderly aunt from Atlanta who always thought we were dreadfully unsophisticated asked my sister what that cake was. She had remembered it 50 years later. So it is a great cake. I don’t know how a recipe this good has almost gone extinct, but it may be that the flavoring is just not at the regular grocery stores anymore. I remember when you had Gloria Gaynor on “Paula’s Party”. She said her mother was from Dothan and you said something like “well I know she could cook, then.” This video made me crave this cake. I think using Plugra butter would put this over the top.

"At home with Paula" "In the kitchen with Paula" "Hearts at home with Paula" Miss Paula you really are like a grandmother to me and you have been since I started watching your show in 2005. I read your autobiography as a young mother when I was struggling so much with health anxiety. Your story of overcoming agoraphobia inspired me so much and made me feel less alone. I'm nearly 40 now and my boys who were babies when I started watching you are big teenagers now. They've grown up with your laugh in the background, first of Food Network and now on KZbin!Thank you for bringing us into your home. Makes me feel so welcome and at peace.

According to McCormick, their Vanilla Butter & Nut Flavor was renamed to Cake Batter Flavor June 2018 in case you are looking for this flavor in the grocery store.

[@mclark1323]

@Poison Ivy That's ethylene glycol (antifreeze), propylene glycol is a food additive that absorbs water.

Thank you Denyse , I just commented that the flavoring was hard to find and ran across your comment. I will look for this flavoring now. 😍👍

[@ampa4989]

@@2036livy No, she's talking about two different chemicals. A now-deleted comment must have mixed up the food safe glycol in this product with the antifreeze glycol and M Clark was clearing up the confusion.

[@sarahamazinggrace]

I wonder if Paula is this happy go lucky in real life? Her giggle about life circumstances makes me want to strive to be like her. Just giggle and let life roll off your back.

[@shandonwade5201]

My Aunt Maggie( my very favorite Aunt) had a Butter Pecan Cake that was out of this world. It was so rich you had to cut it paper thin. She took that recipe to heaven with her. Mom told us the story about how that cake came about. Aunt Maggie saw it in a news paper, but when she made it, it wasn't good so she played around with it and made it amazing. She never wrote the recipe down. She made it in a iron frying pan. But nothing else ever done touched those pans. I sure hope Jesus is enjoying her Butter Pecan Cake.

[@lizmiller7681]

This cake is making me so hungry. I can just smell that butternut and my mouth is watering. Umm-ummm! My vote is for “At Home With Paula Deen.” ⚡️💖⚡️

[@summer1976k]

IT IS MY FAVORITE CAKE FOR MY BIRTHDAY. My grandmother used to bake it. McCormick makes a Butter and Vanilla flavoring. I love it with pecans on the top.

[@tc012299]

Paula,my Grandparents lived in South Carolina,and the only time my mother could get butternut flavoring was when we visited or when Grandma came to visit us in Oklahoma. I can remember the lucious smell even now! The recipe was always on the flavoring bottle. It was made in a tube pan. We had it without frosting because it was SOOOO DELICIOUS just as it was!!!🧡🧡🧡

Your grandma sounds like my great grandma! Very Christian, read her bible all the time. She never went to school, there wasn’t one! She came over from Germany as a little girl, crossed from NY to Missouri in a covered wagon. She never spoke English only German so I don’t remember talking to her, but I remember her homemade graham crackers with cinnamon sugar hot from the oven!

Thank you for sharing your grandmother butternut cake 🍰. I’m definitely going to try. I also learned a lot from my grandmother too.She also cooked for 14 men everyday .They owned a dairy and at that time they provide two meals a day . They worked hard for 16 years ,retired and went back to Portugal 🇵🇹 to the Island of Terceira where the Americans have a base . To make the story short that’s why I’m came to the United States . Very proud . Let’s make America Great Again . 🇺🇸 🇺🇸👍👍God Bless the United States of America.

Then I see this beautiful woman with her sweet laugh back making some dishes. I couldn’t believe it. It just brightens my day anytime I see her. I remember back in the day on Saturday I woke up and would just love to watch her. I learned so very much from her shows. I also had the most laughs and that’s the best recipe ever. Don’t ya think. 💕

[@jasem6311]

I call it... cooking with the real Paula Dean. I’m loving this no nonsense makeup and no true measurements for ingredients. After all she had been teaching us it’s all about love and the taste on the tongue. It has motivated me to start mixing any ingredients and cook whatever I want as long as it’s good to the pallet. I’m loving these private shows!!!! After all, since COVID some of us house husbands have started our drinking at noon. So it’s all about mixing and experimenting. Lol

My grandmothers were completely polar opposites too. And my Nana (my moms mom) always said she was the devil and my Grandma (my dads mom) was the angel. And she was right.
