The fact that you try the cake, even though it makes you uncomfortable, for your fans is just awesome!! 💕

[@thescranline]

This comment is great lol. I hate eating on screen lol

[@kiramoloney9248]

@@thescranline I was laughing because you used a paper plate!! haha

[@mirandaf4945]

11:52 When ur Mom says you can only have 1 piece of cake 😂

[@mimiaugust]

Oh Nick! You cut that piece of cake the way I like. At birthday parties, you want this piece? No bigger. Bigger. Cut it like Nick does. I WANT the cake! I actually thought it looked like cheesecake when you were about to divide the layers. If I bake a cake anytime soon, going to make a Scran Line so I can do your method. I prefer cakes like you do. You are such a guilty pleasure. Scran Line cake is not conducive to Keto but I am a Sugar Rebel through and through! Only watch no eat.

[@yummybloomy6455]

A word on bowl size. I own a KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus stand mixer which has a bowl of 5-qt volume. I was able to double the recipe today, but did this with extra caution. I used a hand whisk to mix dry ingredients in the stand mixer bowl, and toss in butter, used the PADDLE attachment (not whisk attachment) and started with STIR speed in stand mixer to crumble butter and dry ingredients. The max speed I went here is 2, any speed faster than that would result in flour overflow based on my observation. After adding milk, use STIR speed again to incorporate the liquid and you will see the batter decrease significantly in volume. Then I added oil, eggs, yogurt and vanilla extract, again mixed with speed 2. it is okay to go up to speed 3 or 4 at this point for the last 20-30 seconds or so but be careful not to over mix. The batter will be very thin and pourable, easy to weigh and pan. Hope this helps people who are as confused as I was about the instruction.

[@cristrivera]

3 Tablespoonssss of vanilla!!! Thats like 20$$$ 😎😎😎

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

Us ride or die Scran Line/Sugar Rebels know the method to your madness lol aka the reverse creaming method😎.

[@steph3618able]

million thanks for your tip of baking the cake at 140°C!!! I used to bake at 165° which I think is low enough though it still results a peak (not very sharp and high). But when I tried 140°C, I blow my mind!!! The top is so flat that it needs nearly no trimming. It saves so much cake!!!!! Thank you once again. You are genious.

[@PADDLEharder]

Hi Nick, I've been watching your vids for ages. Just wanted to say that I'm loving the new layout featuring YOU!

[@dokicakes]

I've tried this method of baking before, it is so much quicker and and really loved how the cake turned out😍😍 Your cake designs are so dreamy, can't wait to try to make this cake😄😄😍😍

[@AnnieIsaLau]

I will definitely try it next time I bake a cake.

[@tiansanchez4180]

The new layout is awesome!

[@msnblh1294]

Whoever dislike your videos, they're just jealous with your talent ! keep it up nick ! [Sorry for my bad English]

[@kennyrogers803]

Mmmmmm....Vanilla flavour taste sooo goood!! That taste sooo delicious and creamy cake!! Looks very creative!!! Great work!! See U anytime!!

[@JadeStrawberry]

That would be a nice informal wedding cake. I love vanilla.

[@Underneaththebottle]

You sir, are a baking warlock!

[@hedrowilson6764]

Your videos were the first intro I'd had to the reverse creaming method, and I really love it. It does make the whole process take less time, and the cake result is super luscious. Thank you for showing us this, Nick!!!

[@alexiaofdivinedelectables3391]

Nick, you ROCK!! The cake color WITHOUT the browning, those perfect layers, oh!! And your music?!?! ERRYTHANG is just a match made in HEAVEN!

[@crystaltorres8288]

I'm loving these new in depth videos! Keep up the great work! 😃

[@chefash8769]

I love your frosting the cake ratio. I hate when people only put a scant amount of frosting on the inside and the outside like that's the best part

[@jdub7550]

I love that you explained your method in depth in this video! I love you and your videos! Thank you for sharing 😍😘

[@creativeDes2209]

Made this cake today, omg it's the best, the texture Is fluffy and moist and divine. I love it, this is my go-to vanilla cake

[@manishadhera4475]

[@djddean6100]

Love this! And the “chuckin” everything in with the pretty pink sea salt! Thanks Nick! Yummy 😋 vanilla 🎂

[@daniellezepess]

I love these detailed explanations... and that vanilla cake really does look delicious! Extra likes!!!

[@TashJansson]

the even-ness of the layers and ratio of cake to frosting makes it look AMAZING

[@SMSithumi22]

please make mango macarons i would love to know the recipe 😊

[@monicab8175]

Sithumi Mudiyanselage heck yes!!!! That or spicy mango macaroons! 😍 dusted with cayenne pepper 😍😍😍

[@ShikhaMallick]

Nick is looking sharp in those glasses damn.... and thanks for the awesome detailed instruction... love your channel Nick!

[@BB-qt5mg]

You cutting into the cake and seeing how perfect the layers are is soooooo satisfying 😍

[@vertamae81]

I have a huge stainless steel bowl I use for pizza dough. It can fit 2 batches; BUT my hand mixer is useless so I just get out my 2 mixers to do 2 batches at a time!! This recipe is the best ever and so versatile. 👍👍

[@swerdna77]

That's exactly what I'm looking for a denser moist cake rather than fluffy. I'm definitely going to try this method.

[@marionsgray]

I was looking for a vanilla cake without using cake flour. Thanks for sharing. New sub. 😊

[@TheDevilDarling]

This looks so good! 😍 Vanilla cake is 110% better than chocolate cake, in my opinion. Have you ever made an Angel Food cake? I usually prefer a denser cake too but angel food cake is so soft and lovely.

[@jolo6539]

I made this cake for my daughter's birthday & it was awesome. It was very fluffy and had great vanilla flavour. Everyone loved it. The drip was harder to do than it looked. Will be my go to recipe in the future. Love all your recipes & thank you for sharing. 🤗

[@rebeccadouglas6462]

Made this recipe for my birthday !!!! It was great , everyone loved it !!! Usually I’m so afraid to try new recipes and this was just perfect !

[@joelhenry4643]

DUDE that was the best looking cake I have ever seen.........Cant wait to make it.

[@marypenza4292]

Gorgeous. Loved the cake to frosting ratio. Looked beautiful. The paper plate was a buzz kill though.

[@sarahdjabir1186]

Hey Nick! I tried the reverse creaming method, it changed my life 🙌

[@moka4086]

I always wondered why you don't cream the butter and sugar together. This clears it up, thank you for making this video!!!!!!

[@mchavarria91]

I have found that your recipes come out far better than anyones recipes I’ve followed here on Facebook! I’ve attempted so many other KZbinr’s cakes and nothing cooks up quite as nicely as yours do. It could be altitude for other cakes and cupcakes I’ve tried, but I’ve found that your cakes are the sweet spot (literally) for any of my altitude concerns or “skepticisms” (if that is the correct word). I love baking from scratch and finding new ways to approach things and I really enjoy this method a lot because I’ve also heard that the butter coats the flour and that assists in the possibly of over mixing the batter and the glutinous properties of the mixture as a whole. Whether that’s actually the case or not, I enjoy this method regardless and can happily say that your recipes are my number one go-to when anyone is wanting cupcakes, so I thank you for that! :)

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Funny, I knew the answer as soon as I seen it because I do a vegan version of it. When you coat the flour with the butter it coats the dry ingredients so the dry ingredients are then protected by the heating elements and thus stay moister after baking. I do it all the time! I also use vegan butter, vegan yogurt, almond milk or oat milk and in place of eggs you can use apple cider vinegar and it comes out just as good. I’ve gone both versions, no difference

[@xavierazandgrond9459]

This is amazing. I'm from the Netherlands and you are one of my favorite when it comes to cakes and cupcakes, stunning! Every day I watch your videos, just to learn your technics, really amazing. You inspire me, you really do.

[@evetteochoa]

I would love you to make a vanilla almond buttercream cake. 😍😍

[@texxmexxchick]

I adore your videos and cake recipes. I use them for all my relatives' birthday cakes! They love your cakes. Thank you for all the tips and recipes.

[@christineshadd9231]

I am soooo intrigued by your "reverse" method...can't wait to give it a try! Love your easy style too! Thanks for sharing your gift!!

[@panckypau9665]

I found your channel two hours ago and I can not stop watching your videos, I love them! Greetings from Mexico😙💜

[@MsFafe1]

Your vanilla cake recipe is so delicious. Moist and not too fluffy and airy! Thanks

[@lilyflintoft1512]

Im about to make my daughters birthday cake and you have saved me!!! Your tips and tricks are easy enough for beginners to lool like pros!!

[@kats.5958]

I finally did it your way with a small batch of cupcakes, and added yogurt, and they were the BEST ive made!!! Never going back! And yes its alot quicker

[@thescranline]

yay!

[@joys3705]

Ive Seen Gemma Stafford do the this method. , and now you explain everything 👍👍👍 im much more confident to make my own vanilla Cake.

[@tawondamaxwell5910]

The reserve creaming method is wonderful. I totally agree, the traditional creaming method tends to produce a drier and denser cake, much like a pound cake.

[@tastefullyvegan739]

Been waiting a long time for a video like this! Thank you 😊

[@nnisalrsn]

I learned so much about baking by watching your videos! Your cakes look phenomenal!!

[@sorbetlemon1243]

Vanilla cake is soo good. And the reverse creaming method is so cool. Ive never really thought of it before. Thanks nick!

[@candicegilkison925]

When you cut the cake and showed the layers geez it was so pretty #goals

[@tstallman24]

After trying your cakes, I will always use your recipe. Your chocolate cake is amazing! I really like the reverse creaming method.

[@katherinekeith4890]

Thanks Nick for all your answers!! They will help me a lot 😍

[@flpo3316]

You are so talented! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks!

[@jukharimoore5920]

[@bhargavijoshi4980]

Can you please show eggless sponge cake? With easy available ingredients in home

[@gabriellakv1168]

Hello Nick I really love your recipe ❤

[@bobthebuilder4162]

The vanilla ganache looks like candle wax dripping down a candle😂

[@michellesalvicchi]

I never would have thought to bake it at that low a temperature. Thanks for the tip!

[@brixperez3951]

I have always baked the best chocolate cake.. but when it comes to vanilla cake they turn out flat, hard and dry. Barely risen. Never get that "box cake"- betty- crocker -duncan hines result. And I hate it cuz many people just ask for vanilla + extra flavoring cake. Starting from vanilla cake. What am I doing wrong?

[@AlondraGarcia-pi6md]

Brix Perez OMG in my case is the opposite, my vanilla cake comes really moist and fluffy, but so far I haven’t find a great recipe for my chocolate cake I have try with oil, butter different methods and So far I haven’t find the perfect chocolate cake recipe. yet. ☹️

[@javinater]

Your oven temp might be too high, my cakes were like that for ages before I realised what I had been doing wrong

[@mariamtariq389]

"Guesstimate" is that what you said!!!! Took the recipe to a whole new level!!!!! 💜💙

[@mariamtariq389]

OMG. Another 💜 from Nick!!!!! I'm on such a high!!!! Nick,you rock!!!

[@ShouldyoumakeorBakeit]

I absolutely love every single one of your recipes!!! They are my Go -To's for any occasion or just to make for the family. 😱😍❤👐

[@akshaumesh1148]

[@jamesmaguire1058]

Thank you! This is perfect! I love vanilla and it just so happens I have a bottle of vanilla bean paste in my cubbard I've been itching to use up.

[@debyyong]

so much of vanilla..Love!! I can almost smell it from here.. yummmm

[@priyashelly]

Thank you for the recipe..my cake turned out amazing and everyone loved it

[@sunshinebakery_melinda]

Love this!! Totally trying this recipe. I like a more dense cake when baking too but never tried this method. Cake looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@kellysmith4191]

I've tried this and it's awesome. This is how I make my cakes now

[@cupcakesandhappiness]

I totally love, and appreciate you for this video. You answered a lot of questions I had just in general as well as gave me a lot of tips. Thank you!!

[@soulsparkdom]

PERFECT cake to frosting ratio 🤩🤩🤩

[@oliviawyatt5789]

Love the layout of this vid so much! that cake looks amazing and I really want to make it now! I am a coeliac so when i bake i have to use gluten free flour. I'd love to see you use gluten free flour and find the best recipe for a gluten free cake x

[@AnagnorisisTragica]

I really like this new format :)

[@janastipanicev5564]

This cake is 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@djddean6100]

I watched your live Instagram video. I tried to message afterward but just in case you never read it there you need to read this at point. Your cupcake and cake brand are “you” I can scroll through Pinterest or Google and find your special unique cupcakes or cake. You use “amazing “ flavorings “ and what makes yours so hip and unique is the way you swirl and frost with color and your artistic themes . So You are not the “Fondant “ baker and Fondant to me is not edible . Your frosting is what I call “lickable” fun ( if that’s a word ) and brings out the fun and hidden kid in all of us. “Fun” “ Happy” and surprise. ( I’m waiting and waiting for Your Woolworth’s and Queensfinefoods, to ship international!!! That’s because of you and your special cupcakes! I thank you Nick . You are adored by your fans . You sweet man. BTW love your Vanilla cake !I will try to make it !❤️🎂

[@Stardust_4300]

I'm a new follower & had to chuckle about the butter not being creamed first. I never do it either! I guess because my Mother never did so I never give it much thought but definitely I don't make dry cakes so it works 😉 love this vanilla cake. I was actually thinking it was the post to the rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 cake I just saw on IG. I was about to make your Salted Caramel Honeycomb Cupcakes that I can't wait to make 🤗 will see you every Tuesday and Friday 💖 Have a wonderful day.

[@milenaimprota6446]

[@bellerobertson3339]

I didn’t know that slow cooking keeps the color! That’s awesome! You always have the best tips & tricks! Sunday’s are better now bc of the sugar rebels videos❤️💕🤩👌🎂🍰

[@TheAgeofFabulous]

What do you do with the cakes after a shoot? You’re way too slender to eat them yourself?

[@texxmexxchick]

The Age of Fabulous, I was also wondering whether he eats them or gives it away to family or friends.

[@catherine6446]

This is what I was going to ask! I’ve been so curious to know what happens to these divine creations when the video is over!

[@brixperez3951]

I bet his friend list has gone longer and his family members have gained a bit more weight since he started baking😅

[@ddawgpotter2297]

Omg!! That looks insane!!! Such perfection 😍😍♥️

[@amalmetwally1566]

WOW!!! This is a very beautiful vanilla cake 👌👌👌 very elegant decorating 👍👍👍 Really the whole method from baking to decoration is completely new to me !!! And very good !! The Scran Line 💕💕💕 Thank-you 💜💛 so much for sharing this lovely video 😍😍😍... Please do keep on making lovely videos 💋💋💋💋💋💋

[@dreamdelights]

I love your method it makes a better cake.

[@SMSithumi22]

gives me so much inspiration

[@dominique9934]

Do you have to keep a cake made with buttercream refrigerated? If you can keep it out how long do they stay at room temp?

[@texxmexxchick]

Dominique, that's a good question.

[@lazyleoash]

Better to be refrgerated..how long, It depends on the climate where you live!! In summer not good to keep long time outside as its buttercream frost.. !! Hope you got it 😊

[@queenslanddiva]

It all depends on how hot it is - in summer in Australia, you would normally refrigerate after a couple of hours. But if it's not so hot outside, you just need to think about the temperature.

[@hawsar8834]

What is cake mde

[@AnnieIsaLau]

Love this! I'll definitely try your recipes! :) This was super informative and interesting, thanks!!!!❤️
