Rye And Coke Cake Recipe - Glen And Friends Cooking

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I've made a mistake about the Cocoa powder - Dutch process is alkaline, so less acidic.

[@singe0diabolique]

I came to see if you'd caught that.

[@markiangooley]

And generally the more alkali used, the darker it gets, so the cocoa used in Oreo cookies is heavily dutched and almost black…

[@benwhicker7215]

Your lucky Glen I almost had ya hahaha

[@sandyspurrell3217]

Love the chat about the first two tries. I always enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, and I know that sometimes it doesn't work out, but you always learn.

[@CameronBales]

I would like to know what changed between V1 and V2 and V3 and what made you imagine why those changes would fix the issues you had.

[@noelwade]

"Version 3"??? Oooh, a rare glimpse behind the curtain! Thanks for all of the off-screen work to bring us tuned & tasty creations! I always feel that cakes with cocoa powder in the batter turn out too "wimpy" on the chocolate flavor, so I can't wait to try this one - especially since we're fans of Rye in this household!

[@ianthewoot]

Cheerwine soda makes great cake!

[@ubombogirl]

love that you call it pop instead of soda or whatever else! i grew up in midwest so for me it has always been pop! looks yum-e...but i am not a booze kind of gal so i would find something else.

[@mhouse2257]

Glen - "There's a lot of acid in coke" - made me chuckle - A LOT.😆

[@willjay916]

How 1980s

[@gcdevil74]

I made this with Rum and it is wonderful. Turned out great. Wonderfully moist. This was actually the first cake I ever made from scratch. I had the thought about the batter that without leavening it might make an awesome brownie batter.

[@CharlesOttman]

Some kind of a raspberry syrup/glaze on that would probably be magical.

[@TamarLitvot]

Mmmm. Or cherry.

[@CharlesOttman]

@@TamarLitvot Sure, and use Kirsch as the alcohol component.

[@justmutantjed]

@@CharlesOttman That sounds like it's approaching a Black Forest Cake.

[@alexlail7481]

I think you could heat/warm up a jar of Polaner's All fruit rasberry jelly and possibly thin it out abit with water on huice of some kind and makea nice raspberry glaze.... haven't tried it but have thought about it a lot...

[@Traderjoe]

It came out of the bundt pan so nice looking!

[@dianekassmann8821]

I need to make this, but using rum and black cherry soda!

[@rjnilmandir]

Oooo. You could sub out the rum for Amaretto. Almonds and Cherries are cousins and would work really well too.

[@TracyShead-Stamey]

I've only had 1 bad egg in the 45 years I've been using them. It was actually about a year ago. I had bought some farm fresh eggs and thankfully I was just frying an egg to eat. I was honestly shocked. Thank you for showing how most people do things. It's greatly appreciated.

[@Dtothe1000th]

Never in my life would I believe that rye and coke cake would be delicious... But it's AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE IT❤🍽

[@Magius61]

My favourite mixing rye. Punches way above its weight for the price. Not even bad by itself.

[@mikeh4245]

Call me crazy, but if I met you two on the street I wouldn't be asking about your technique for cracking eggs (which you've addressed multiple times). Instead I'd say I really enjoy your videos and appreciate what you do, and ask if I can buy you coffee or lunch! 🙂

[@traumajock]

My favorite cake since childhood is a Coca-Cola cake. Sometimes I'll use Grand Marnier instead of vanilla, in the cake and the frosting.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

A rum and coca-cola cake was the favorite dessert of The Andrews Sisters. It's a fact, man, a fact😉

[@clubgus07]

Hi Glen I put Pepsi cola syrup for soda making in my pancake mix instead of sugar this morning and pancake was taken to another spicy kick level amazing and pancakes were delicate and fluffy thanks for giving me confidence in using cola in my cooking

[@johnmckenzie4639]

That's a beautiful moist looking cake Glen. I'm 60 and have never found a bad egg either, but when I'm making eggs to eat, I usually like them over easy, so I always crack my egs into a bowl, then if I break the yolk I can change plans and scramble them.

[@65lalur]

Today I baked this one and IT IS LOVELY!

[@sharendonnelly7770]

That was actually a very beautiful cake. A butter rum glace would be awesome on this.

[@jellyosbahr]

Oh man! Need to try this with rum and ginger beer. Thank you!

[@Peggy-d4l]

Glen you make everything look so easy. I always have a mess after mixing a cake or anything else. I too never break my eggs in a separate bowl. Thanks so much for your recipes.

[@applegal3058]

I have been baking and cooking my whole life. Most times I crack my eggs in a bowl...except for things only I would be eating, or things that is easy to fish out egg shells from. Otherwise, I crack the eggs in a bowl. I also add flavourings, like vanilla extract, to the eggs in the bowl too. I like to measure out the ingredients and have it ready to go when I bake.

[@richardharrison1493]

I agree with Glen. I like the cake. When it comes to icing/frosting, a thin crumb coating would be enough for me. I prefer a nice, flavorful glaze.

[@JHaven-lg7lj]

Oh, I’m going to have to try this one!

[@cathpeterson1944]

cake looks so yummy

[@calebleland8390]

This looks incredible, Glen. I'd have to glaze it only because my wife hates cake without any sort of frosting or glaze. Great video!

[@johndoran1324]

This looks great chef, I have a small cafe on the north coast of Northern Ireland and I must bake about 5 Bundt cakes a week and hundreds more mini bundts. But the next Bundt I do I am definitely going to try out this recipe

[@debbybrady1246]

I made the whiskey cake and it was delicious!

[@TheFlyingGerbil]

I’d stop the mixer while cracking the egg in cos it would be mixed in before I noticed the shell but I would never crack into a separate bowl as my main concern when cooking is how to minimise the washing up.

[@katielin2379]

Your came out of the pan perfect! Looks like it doesn't need a glaze.

[@mb8226]

You should make a vodka cake after the whiskey cake. ‘Cause, you know…”he makes a whiskey cake, he makes a vodka cake…”

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Then I'd have to do a cider cake as well!

[@DFMurray]

Hey Glen! You ever tried swapping some chickpea flour out in a cake recipe, like about 1/3? It is gives this deep nuttiness flavor when baked that has the presence of subtle peanut butter without the overwhelming flavor punch that tends to rise over other flavors. It goes great with a whisky / butterscotch recipe.

[@mary-catherine9237]

I am close in age to you Glen and I have never seen a bad egg either. I don’t remember if Home Ec was available in school but I did not take it if it were. My mother is a good baker and she always adds eggs directly to mixer. I followed her example. I think I would enjoy Dr Pepper over Coke. You can keep the glaze. I am a “cake” lover too but I did think a spoonful of whipped cream may have made a good touch. Thanks for putting these videos out. I enjoy them greatly.

[@bartman64]

Now I want to see what other cocktails would make good cakes

[@amyburl3826]

56! I would have guessed 52 😂 you both look great. Thanks for another great video.

[@gummodude]

The people want a Rye and Squozen Cola cake!

[@mcmd2009]

That's a nice looking cake.

[@michael-ms4ho]

Nice job Glen thanks for sharing

[@jaredwebster3620]

If you ever find yourself with surplus cake, try giving it the French toast treatment. Top the results with whipped cream. I'd still call it dessert, but it gives it a whole new spin.

[@brucemacdonald1847]

Tall glass of ice cold milk would go well with a wedge of that cake

[@stevenbogart169]

What's an appropriate garnish for my Coke/rye/buttermilk cocktail?

[@mikezimmermann89]

Dayum! This sounds good! We did you Chicken Chipotle Black Bean Soup last week. That was dayum good too!

[@BobSmith-fu1nn]

I've never had had a rye & coke to drink, I'd want to try a more traditional rye & ginger cake

[@anthonydolio8118]

Yum. Thanks.

[@treasuremuch9185]

I'd give it a light dusting of powdered sugar when served. Looks delish.

[@Cassie-tb7fd]

Hi Glen. I noticed in the recipe in the description, you omitted the cocoa powder in the instructions. Love your channel 💕

[@debbiehoye7036]

A simple dollop of slightly sweetened whipped cream perhaps ❣️

[@suzettesanborn5659]

I'm with you Glen, I never crack my eggs into a separate bowl.

[@Waldenpunk]

Whipped cream with a shot of rye would be amazing on that.

[@Ryan-hn1it]

I reckon you could make a simple syrup for that with the cocoa, coke, and whisky. Would add an extra kick beyond the cake

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

That's a beautiful batter.

[@michelebriere9569]

How about cognac?

[@johnlarro6872]

If you're unsure about an egg being bad - get a cup of water, and put the egg into the water. If it sinks straight to the bottom, it's good. If it floats, it's bad. If it bounces a bit before it settles on the bottom - use it next. We buy a dozen eggs and usually take some time to use them, so I use this method to test my eggs if I'm unsure how old they are.

[@aosteklov]

Isn't dutched processed cocoa powder alkaline and less acidic than the non-dutched?

[@kieshawilliams1187]

Yes

[@applesushi]

I came here to say that. Its pH is close to 7 with regular being more like 5.5-6.

[@larrysowada9905]

Have to try this on my niece she's a baker and see what she thinks of it, in your written directions when you mix the dry ingredients together you left out cocoa just wanted to let you know, thanks

[@jfh2112]

Oh now we need a Version 1 Outtake Reel :)

[@Sldejo]

Whiskey cake you say? Reminds me of my grandmother’s Lane Cake. I’ll be back.

[@markiangooley]

I keep bringing up those early Robertson Davies novels set in a small Ontario city based on Peterborough. Gin comes up in some of them but the big drink is rye. I’ve come to think of rye as quintessentially Canadian but for all I know it isn’t.

[@karenmarshall2045]

I have a hard time finding rye in the US. What is generally termed “rye whiskey” in Canada is a blend of various whiskeys made from different grains - not just rye.

[@Silverstiletto]

I think that a glazed donut glaze would go great with this.

[@old-fashionedcoughypot]

This cake would be awesome made with that cinnamon flavoured *"Fireball"* whiskey-type drink, eh? Could you try using *"Fireball"* in some future baking or drinks episode, please? Maybe use it in an eggnog or a fruitcake recipe since Christmas is coming up.

[@zirbengeist5317]

Can you do a rye and ginger ale one? Would it be the same just substitute those two ingredients

[@larsen8059]

Oh, the look I'd get from my boys if I made chocolate cake and said, 'sorry, it's adults only'... It may be worth it! 🤣(secretly, I'd have 2 versions) Thanks, Glen!

[@joantrotter3005]

When I was little and we lived near Baskin-Robbins, my favorite was a scoop of daiquiri ice over mocha in a chocolate waffle cone. So anyway, I was thinking a lime brown sugar icing would be good over a version of this with coffee.

[@cremebrulee4759]

Love daiquiri ice!!

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

For the side, I recommend only using the “full strength” ones. Aspartame breaks down at oven temperatures and the two amino acids that are esterified to make Aspartame are quite bitter. I’d be more for using dark or golden rum over rye whiskey, or perhaps a mix of darker sugars instead of all white sugar. The crumb on your cake looks pretty darn good.

[@pigoff123]

I don't like chocolate but I want to try this one.

[@AFlyerSwe]

If you only have dutch processed cocao powder. Would you change the recipe in any way? And BTW Love your channel Glen! (and your C-FMVU channel) been on it for a while now and love every bit of it. Would love to join you on one of your group trips some time. Love From Sweden and the small town of Tibro.

[@marquesa4146]

Glen, what changes do I need, if any, for this recipe for high altitude?

[@JamieBainbridge]

Any time Glen cracks an egg straight into a bowl, just think of Austin Powers saying "I also like to live dangerously". This could actually be the start of a Glen & Friends drinking game.

[@JamieBainbridge]

Glen & Friends Drinking Game: - Glen cracks an egg straight into the bowl - This is Glen's favourite old time recipe book - Glen talks about methods not recipes - Milk in a bag but buttermilk in a carton - Jules says something else before "Hey Glen hey friends"

[@dbell95008]

All looks great, Glen! One question - you said 350F, but the written recipe says 325?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

350º - I'll fix that, thanks for the heads up.

[@redbeard36]

Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Mmmm.Mmmm hmm. Says it all.🤣

[@TherealDanielleNelson]

I completely forgot that rye whisky existed, and thought it was going to be rye flour. But this cake looks amazing.

[@katesimmons8925]

Me too but I'm British and we don't really have rye, we have Scotch

[@TherealDanielleNelson]

@@katesimmons8925 Ahh. that might be good in a cake.

[@srice6231]

I also just like cake. I love to find someone who just likes frosting to share a cupcake or piece of cake with because I cut off the glaze or frosting.

[@CanChikMay]

Could u use bakers chocolate instead?

[@meganpopple9100]

I will say, when I clicked on this video, I thought that it would be using rye flour, not rye whiskey. Now, I still want to see how rye flour would behave in a cake.

[@colleenbertino2595]

That’s the question I’ve had since watching,I’ve had bad eggs and always use a separate bowl. I also figured out from watching….the egg question answer is the same as the sticky liquids and spraying the measuring container question.

[@adelechicken6356]

I clicked on this thinking that there was going to be some rye flour in the cake, now laughing happily at a cake with cocoa, Coke and booze.❤😂😂😂😂

[@cydrych]

When you cut the cake I was thinking it needed a maple and whiskey glaze.

[@margarethutchens5463]

My grandmother was the one ehobtaught me to crack eggs separately and one at a time. I think that was because there was a chance one msy have been missed in a previous days gathering. Only once have I cracked a bad egg. It smelled terrible and was black inside. I think this cake would be fun as cupcakes.

[@kathrynsinclare8459]

Glen, I couldn’t care less what you do with your eggs! 😂 I do care about the end results of what you make, so far, so good. Thanks Glen, keep cooking/baking…❤❤❤ 👋🏻🧑‍🦳😊

[@brendahand3388]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking thank you so much Glen.

[@styles2980]

I've had only 2 bad eggs in 50 yrs from store bought eggs. One was in the 80's cooking with my grandmother and I had one this year. I will usually crack into the mix unless there is a lot of product or effort already in the bowl, then I will crack in separate dish.

[@stevemonkey6666]

I am in my late 50s and I still cannot reliably crack an egg without getting shell in my food.....😂

[@gunkyzip]

Bundt cakes need an icing or glaze for visual effect. But I'm sure this is wonderful as-is.

[@duigiud]

What was “version two” that Jules said was too moist? Was it the coke cake?

[@midhudsonmarketing6484]

Why was version 2 overly "moist"? Was version 3 adjusted in some way? It looked great and from your comments it also tasted great. When I was experimenting with drinking in college, I remember liking rye. Never had it with Coke. That I had with rum. But drinking and I parted ways around that time because it made me sick. Especially wine! That was over 50 years ago. But your cake would be something I'd try. Thanks, Glen. - Marilyn

[@hoilst265]

[@michelebriere9569]

Why does butter and sugar always need to be mixed first?

[@karenmarshall2045]

To aerate and make it fluffy. (Granted, there are tons of one-bowl cakes out there they just dump everything in one bowl and mix from there.)

[@michelebriere9569]

I had a bad egg, once. Hickman's brand, the rookery is girls only, but when I cracked an egg into the rest to be scrambled, it was GREEN! And there was the corpse, mostly liquefied, of a chick. Wings and all. I put the carton in the freezer, and called the local chicken ranch. A lady came out right away, and took it. She was as shocked as I was.

[@karenmarshall2045]

The horror!

[@NRajah]

When did you start doing volumetric measures for sugar, butter etc? They confuse my brain as I'm only used to grams. Nice cake though, either way.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

With the exception of maybe 2 or 3 recipes (pizza dough and maybe panettone?) all of my recipes are by volume; cups and mL.

[@NRajah]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I obviously haven't noticed. Sorry

[@frsoltau]

Do you think Diet Coke would work in this recipe?

[@roberthunter5059]

Probably, but there are also two cups of sugar, so sugar/calorie savings would be minimal. Using artificial sweetener results in a strange texture in baked goods

[@CameronBales]

Check other comments - The aspartame often breaks down into unpleasant constituents when baked. I also would have to go to the store to buy real coke for this cake.

[@sarah2.017]

I've had a few bad eggs, and all of them were within the sell-by date.
