    of COURSE its ok for you to be real with us! 🤗👍 EVERYONE is doing recipes they never had time for, everyone is feeling more hungry than usual. Indulgence is a form of self care, it's the inner Mommy thats not physically with us, to hug & reassure us that things are going to get better and that we'll be ok. Thank you for the cake recipe. 😁 👍

      Michigan here... I struggle every day, and have for years. I do it, and I am dilligent, and still, I don't get the results a lot of people do. But. I am 123 pounds down with a ketogenic diet. LCHF for a while, keto now. My blood sugar is normal now. I do get discouraged. A few times a year I have a cheat day. I keep on going, because people need me. I still have work to do. There are times when not being able to relax and have the things I love, makes me really sad. I just try to remember that it's not even about me anymore. It's about the people that love me.
      I know for sure that you are loved, too. ❤️
      I'll pray for you.
      Bless your heart.

      It’s kind of funny really, but I got into a different mindset then I have ever been in before. My motivation was not to become diabetic. I hope to heavens it doesn’t have to be anyone else’s but I’m sure it could be. So this was not a diet for me. It’s self preservation. That motivation was more powerful than any desire to be “thin” or anything else. ❤️

    I too went on a ‘flour’ hunt and found that the flour aisle was “dead” right after the tp crisis hit...I needed baking powder and accidently found 1 can on a different aisle like among the beans...I held that can in my hands until I reached checkout where I HID it in my grocery bag and actually took a deep breath because I was making it out of the store with it...one day we’ll all look back on this time and laugh our asses off but right now it IS a true struggle!! 😂

    Wes, you are the best! I've been watching all my friends and relatives baking amazing, crusty breads during quarantine and I have resisted, and I was so proud because bread was my downfall--but then (I can't believe I am going to admit this here) I bought a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies online. And I ate it. The whole thing. By myself. What have I done?! But watching you today makes me know I'm not alone, I can put this behind me (believe me, that's where right where those cookies went!) and go back on the low carb wagon. Love you, Wes!

    I like that the parchment leaves marks, so if you don't want to frost the cake, you can serve it bottom up and the mark lines divide it nicely into 8 portions. This way you don't have to worry about taking too much!

    • @sandrainontario6710

    Wal-Mart usually has a "cake decorating" section not with the home goods and not with the food usually near the craft sections. That's usually the best place at Wal-Mart to get the pans or if you have a Michael's or JoAnn's around.

    I’ve been struggling too! I’m sure we’re not alone! I fell off the wagon and started KETO again a week ago! It definitely helps with the cravings! I have to have something sweet with my meals so thank you so much for trying out these recipes for us! You are contributing to me staying healthy, sane, Keto and happy!!! Tip, if anyone wants to try it, I also started doing one meal a day (OMAD). So I eat Keto but a big meal, since it’s my only meal. Makes me feel like I’m binging, with permission, and I definitely include my dessert AND a bulletproof coffee cause I want to get my MCT oil in along with enough fats and I’m fine! I thought I’d be starving but I’m not. Definitely recommend it!

    I discovered that almond flour tends to be a little bit gritty but I recently discovered that if you grind the almond flour in a coffee grinder or food processor it gets smoother and then put the almond flour in a sifter because the finer almond flour clumps together, but I have to tell you I tried this in making keto chocolate chip cookies and compared it to another batch of Chocolate chip cookies from the same recipe and man oh man does it ever improve the texture of the cookies, the cookie dough ended up a little runnier than the unground almond flour but just using a cookie scoop works for that problem, I'm going to try grinding my almond flour for making a cake next because the consistency is going to be smoother and a runny consistency which is more like regular wheat flour cake batter.

    Am I having trouble: no; but I completely understand those who are. I managed to stock up on everything we needed (we have a stand-alone freezer in the garage) and we've been in good shape. As for the stress, it's okay not to be okay right now. Most of us have some amount of stress right now that is either crippling from the start or builds up over time. It's important to take care of our mental health, too.

    I’m right there with you in the struggle, friend. I made the mistake of ordering bread flour online and making bread. Real bread 🍞 made with real high gluten flour and slathered with gallons of butter while it is warm and fresh from the oven. I’ve gained 10 pounds in the last two months. *sigh* Silly me. But I’ll get back to it once the stress has gone down.

    I actually started my keto journey during quarantine. Not being able to go out to eat has actually been a blessing in disguise. I've been cooking and baking more than I ever have in my life! I'm actually enjoying the food I cook more than what I was eating regularly, before keto. I absolutely LOVE your honesty, and willingness to share. You make me laugh out loud regularly, especially during the "low carb bread" episode! We appreciate you. Your channel is EXTREMELY helpful to all your followers, as we continue on this journey. LOVE YA!...... and..... SIFT IT!!!!

    In regards to my reaction to sheltering in place I will refer you an old Disney movie, Song of the South. I'm brae'r rabbit talking to brae'r bear....'oh no paleezze don't throw me in that briar patch. If you don't get the reference there is another thing for you to do while sheltering in place. I honestly love your channel. Charming and adorable and informational. Now that's a winning recipe. Something that gets me through those times in life I find unpleasant, and it's different for everyone, is I absolutely know nothing lasts, nice or not, forever and life is always changing. So find a level of acceptance and go with the flow as best you can and you won't grow old on the inside. Take good care and breathe.

  • @sorellajenks

    Wes, you asked, so I will share my journey through this "stay at home" period. I just found your channel yesterday because my husband bought a half gallon of buttermilk, and I only need 1/4 of that. My mistake in not putting exactly how much I needed on the grocery list! I am so glad to have found you because I love your videos and personality. When the lock down started here in Texas (13 March 2020) I was doing too much, travelling and staying in hotels every week and getting exhausted. I had a respiratory illness that I had for almost three months and could not kick it, until I was forced to stay at home and REST. My husband and I are involved in public speaking, story telling and demonstrations which is why we were travelling. In addition to my husband's corporate job an hour away. The stay at home order caused the organizations we work with to transition to Zoom, so this has created more opportunity to connect with more people and less travel. It has been a serendipity for me. I have started daily meditating again and being very aware of who I am, what triggers issues. It has been a great time for personal growth. I have an abundance of online coursework, so I never get bored, although I do get depressed, then I binge watch Netflix. I did a vegetarian 6 day cleanse last week that really helped me re-start to focus on eating better, but I am like you and have no will power, so when relationship issues hit me this week, I reverted to my default coping mechanism; food, specifically bread. We all just do the best we can. We will get through this, my new friend! Be safe and healthy, you and your hubby and doggies. By the way, my mother and I watched "Alice" every week, and Polly Holiday's Flo was our favorite.

    We are also small farmers so there has been no slow down for us as this time of year we ramp up from “can to caint”! I have to be honest and say I’m a bit jealous of folks who have time to cook more and try out a hobby. This time of year I have to cook less, make easy, fast meals as we are outside long, long days. But I know we are producing food and also getting good exercise and vitamin D, all good for our immune system. Plus we don’t do any sanitizing here since we know bacteria is our friend. 😊

    I just made the life made sweeter cake for my boys 21st birthday! I had extra batter so I put it in a mug and microwaved it. IT'S AWESOME!
    Can't wait to taste it with the frosting!!

    Bro, I spent six years (2012-18) living/sleeping on the street, homeless. Now, I have a small private sleeping room in a halfway house. TERRIBLE place yet self-quarantine in my little sleeping room is HEAVEN compared to those years roaming around and sleeping on cardboard-covered concrete. There's a kitchen in this place, so I am even able to make this cake, which wasn't an option before.
    Is all about perspective, adorable-looking man.

    I have a sugar free house. Have been sugar free for 3 years. I love monk fruit sweetener. I don't crave anything sweet. I freeze organic bananas and blend them up with some organic grass fed chocolate protein powder with a lil unsweetened almond milk and you have nice cream.

    Wes, it has been hard for ALL of us. My hubs has also not been following his own diet (he refuses to "restrict" himself to keto) and it's been a struggle in these conditions. This cake looks like a dream, and will be my next mission once the cheesecake brownies I baked are done.
    I do believe your next battle needs to be cake/brownie frosting, ahem.

    I’ve just started looking at low carb recipes. You are so honest, and I love how you present your own struggles with carbs. I’m struggling too! I’m a frosting eater, so I need to leave the frosting off! Thanks for showing these 2 recipes. They look delicious!

  • @carollecian4655
    @carollecian4655 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved your review. I recently converted an inside out Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cake recipe to a keto recipe for a friend who was recently diagnosed with diabetes and has eliminated white flour from get diet.
    Growing up, my Mom cooked and baked from scratch. Often, cakes had a sprinkling of powdered sugar rather than a frosting, or a whipped cream frosting. My Czech grandmother's baked goods always had a sprinkling of either powdered or baking sugar.
    I understand your struggle and hope you find something to alleviate your feelings. This hasn't been difficult for me, but I'm an "essential" employee, so although I'm working from home, it's still the same daily routine for me, except I don't have to get up as early in the morning, and I'm home earlier in the evening without the commute. 😉

    YES I am struggling, I have upped my macros and upped some walking and everyday cardio to keep the boredom eating at bay but you are not alone... I don't by the trigger foods during this time.

  • @sherryrethwisch9589
    @sherryrethwisch9589 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can't wait to try this cake but have to eat up my low carb pound cake first. I too can do without the frosting so think a dusting of powdered sweetener and some leftover raspberry sauce will hit the spot.......maybe a drizzle of sugarfree syrup even. This quarantine has caused me to slip at times, but have found new creative ways to keep on track. I so love you and always look forward to your videos! Your eyes speak when you taste!

  • @cruebaby1

    I had a feeling the recipe with the Coconut Oil would be awesome. That is what I will try first when I have my next chocolate cravings. And for your question. I work from home so I am used to being home most of the time, except to go out grocery shopping. My state is not locked down and we have super low numbers so we can go out and shop and social distance. I am lucky to have acreage so I am outside a lot too. Because I cook low carb I really don't eat out much because restaurants do not cook the way I do, so I really only crave the naughty foods they have once in a while. LOL. Thank you for doing this cake battle.

    I am trying a keto chocolate cake tomorrow that many are raving about from Victoria's keto kitchen. It pours like a cake batter. She created her own flour.
    I was debating making Carolyn's cake.
    I am always fearful in trying keto recipes...ahhhh but I want CAKE.

    I am so glad to have come across your you-tube channel. You mentioned that you are struggling during a tough time. I work in the health field and I can feel with you as it has been uneasy having to wear a mask and other so called protective equipment. My way of dealing with the changes of social distancing has not been easy,. Inorder to fix the disconnection, it helps to find time to meditate af which time, practicing mindfulness for what we have ie., family,friends and health to name a few. Being grateful, stay focused exercise, get outside and breathe the fresh air and love thy self and those around you, Peace my friend.

    Thank you so much for doing these two recipes. I tried the first cake some time ago and was disappointed. The flavor was fine but it had a mealy texture. I did sift the dry ingredients. It was very rich so you couldn't eat too much. I look forward to making the second.

    I couldn’t find 8 in round cake pans or 8x4 loaf pan so my last stop was the Dollar Tree and I found them there. They will do until I get a better quality ones. Out of stock online too! It was very frustrating. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Hang in there. You aren’t alone in your struggles with this Pandemic going on.

  • @Beezer.D.B.
    @Beezer.D.B. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I always trust a baker that follows the old school practice that sifts and mixes his/her dry ingredients together first, before adding liquid ingredients. So many modern-day recipes are focusing on speed and ease, to fit with modern-day video presentation, and just dump everything together and mix...even though ingredients such as baking powder tend to clump together once it touches liquids. If you've ever had a bite of cake or other baked goods that left a bitter aftertaste on your tongue, you'll know what I mean.

    I'm like some of the other introverts who've commented, I really can't tell a lot of difference since I don't work outside the home now, and I dislike shopping, and I'm not a socializer. The only thing that has been difficult is not being able to attend church, and wearing those awful face masks. I have a new appreciation for people in the medical field. Not only are they heroes, but they are being heroic while being slowly suffocated!!

    I just made the cake you enjoyed more (the 2nd one) and I think it's the closest to a regular cake that I've ever made. Moist and soft. I do wish I had put all of my almond flour in to my food processor to try to make it finer though. I think that would've made my cake even better, but it's still really good. Going to make a frosting for it tomorrow

    That’s exactly how you make buttermilk, you put vinegar or lemon juice in it. I don’t know if that works with almond milk but that’s how you make normal buttermilk with regular milk and vinegar or lemon.
    Both of those cakes look good, I want some

    Thank you for this challenge, your honesty, and integrity! I'm looking forward to baking. The quarentine is very difficult! The only things that keeps me on track are my kids (all grown up) and gardening. I have a very large vegetable garden this year. I will probably be feeding my neighbors after all is said and done. You get a lot of fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.
