It says to mix on medium for 2 mins to add air to the mixture. Cutting the time will make the cake less airy and more flat.
Hahahahah! I understand what she means but so funny she doesn’t trust the recipe!! Hahaha
And the cake mixes are usually made with cake flour, which has less gluten to activate, so “overmixing” with it is harder to so
Came to the comments to say that exact thing. 😂😂
When she said she was cutting the mixing time I was like "Noooo! You need to go the full 2 minutes when using cake mix!"
I came here to say this! Mix it well - and lately I’ve been using the whipping whisk to mix boxed cake and they turn out so light and airy!
Rachel: PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! If you are trying something, please, just try it according to how it is supposed to done. It is so much more helpful for us❤❤❤
Agreed. It’s hard because we all think we know better but as a reviewer how can you judge without first trying it according to their directions?
I don't mind her not following directions, realistically I would've tweaked it myself too. I wanted to throw strawberries over the pudding and bananas in between the layers of the cake while I was watching. There's two types in the world 😅 those of us who just want to see "what if" and those of us who need a guarantee.
@@brandi524 I agree with that normally, but when she doesn’t follow directions, and it doesn’t work… how can we know if we should try the recipe? It just isn’t great when she is wrong so often, and we can’t tell if it is bc of the recipe or because of the changes.
@@sargassum6190it’s part of the fun tho! I quite enjoy it when she does her own thing cause that is what I would do too! 😂
Influencers don't follow product directions. It's against the Influencer Code.
For the cake, if you put a border of frosting around the edge, and then put the pudding and stuff in the middle, it will keep the pudding from sliding out.
Omg thanks for that hack
Was going to say the exact same thing lol
Watching Canadians mess with southern banana pudding cake is giving me a twitch in one eye. The nilla wafers are totally not optional. :D
Not optional AT ALL! No excuse 😂
We did a test blending cake mix. Does it need the full 2 mins? Yes. It adds air and volume, and you'll get fluffier cake!!😊
But with the flour that just seems like a recipe for a rock hard cake? I don't understand the science behind this :P
@RachhLovesLife as far as I know, boxed cakes are made with flour that has a lower protein, so unlike a cake from scratch, you don't have to worry about creating too much gluten by "over mixing." Another thing is that it aerates the eggs, the volume increases, and the cake is fluffier.
Or maybe someone will correct me🤗
I thought the same thing and never mixed enough. Next time do the full time, you’ll se how it puffs up! Cake flour with the fat added is actually hard to overmix in 2-3 mins (see recent claire video!)
@@RachhLovesLifeyou were right about mixing the wet ingredients first. My mom always do cakes like that and they are amazing. That is how you you get the fluff- by incorporating air in eggs and butter because you can mix them longer and you don’t over mix the flour.
@@RachhLovesLife I'm a second generation professional cake gal, overworking cakes takes longer than 2 min because the batter is very different from something like a bread dough. In general, the recommended time to beat cake batter is 3-5 min on medium speed, so the mix was actually being conservative with their 2 min recommendation.
You can overwork cake mix, it's just going to take a lot longer than it would with other baked goods. The one time I overworked a cake batter it sat in my KitchenAid for 20 min because I had a newborn at the time and forgot I was baking. 😅 Mixing well for 2-5 min incorporates air into the batter and gives you a light fluffy sponge. It's the same idea as whipping up egg whites and folding them in, just fewer steps, less temperamental, and because it is done with all of the ingredients not as fluffy as something like an angel food cake.
Banana medicine?! In the US children's antibiotic suspensions are usually bubblegum! I think you can request different flavors but bubblegum is the default here. It's just something I never even considered might be different anywhere else so my mind is blown!
That's really interesting! In the UK, when I was a kid (mid 1980s to early 90s), it was always banana amoxicillin suspension too... And very fake banana....! I was one of those kids who preferred to take tablets, but doctors would always insist kids had the suspension! Ha!
In Canada we have the banana Amoxicillin too so that is what he was referring to.
Ya, it's been banana antibiotics for decades here! Ah, childhood ear infection memories🤣
It’s 1000% amoxicillin. I live in the US and that’s where I had to take what I was a child(early 80’s). I still have issues eating a real banana.
My cat’s antibiotic was banana flavored (USA)
Also, if you're making a banana pudding cake, you need the nilla wafers. I'm with Dolly on this one.
I was going to say that it's not banana puddin' cake without the nilla wafers, it's just banana cake.
I was born and raised in Michigan and whenever anyone makes a banana pudding dish here for any kind of party or gathering there is also nilla wafers involved its typically layered like this.
1.nilla wafers
2.banana pudding
3.whipped cream/cool whip.
This floral sweater haunts me at night!! I neeeeed it!!
I'm a cake decorator and we almost always use cream cheese with banana cakes 😊 it's tasty!
Would love to see you and Christopher play with an ice cream stone to make rolled ice cream. So popular here in South Africa
Bone conduction devices need to actually be touching a bone, hence the name!
I work for a medical device company in Austria which also offers bone conduction, so I know this first hand.
Did the device come with any instructions?
My children got the kiddie couch last Christmas from my husband’s mother and stepfather and they absolutely love it and use it all the time! We are really impressed with the quality, as my children climb and jump all over it constantly and are not at all gentle with it! We are very happy with it too!
3:59 “Sesame Street for life”!!😂 Yes ma’am!!
Grover is elite and no one can convince me otherwise
Yes!
@@RachhLovesLife Grover is the best muppet (except for Kermit) and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Finally someone who understands the art of scissors in the kitchen, specifically when cutting pizza!!! I swear my friends always think I’m crazy when I say I use scissors instead of a pizza cutter
Everyone I know uses scissors.
Product rec! I LOVE cooling gel pillow inserts. I don’t necessarily love them as a pillow to sleep on but I get really bad RLS and shooting pains in my feet and legs so I sleep with one under my feet and oh. My. God. Also nice over summer for under your feet any time you’re just like, sat still.
Hi Rachel, you can try the ice cream attachment for Frannie! I have one and I love it❤
The mix needs that two minutes. The cake won't be the same without it.
In New Zealand, banana cakes are very popular and they definitely do appear darker on the outside. We normally have them with chocolate icing or my partner does like them with cream cheese icing, or even a lemon icing 🤷🏻♀️
For the ice cream should you freeze the mixture in the mug then mix?
I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant for the first time ever and SOOOO tired, but I can't seem to nap. I try, and just end up lying there. Yesterday I ran some errands, and when I came back I lay down with this video playing.....and it must have been just the right cozy vibes because I fell asleep halfway through. FINALLY. I think it was probably just for 15-20 minutes, but it was something. And today I was able to nap again. Broke the nap barrier! (Yes, I did go back and rewatch the rest of the video.)
7:15 I will say, if you make a lot of salads these are fantastic for pre-cut sticks. For example: peppers. Strips of peppers you can hold a group of them and just chop em up
The best frosting for a banana cake is mixing brown sugar with cool whip. Let it sit overnight so the sugar crystals dissolve & rewhip it. So good!
We are in love with our kiddie couch. Obsessed … definitely worth the price
We’ve had our nugget for 3years the kids play on it every single day and it’s held up so perfect. I wish they had the nugget liners when I had ordered ours originally
The Dolly cake mix etc are at Walmart so you might be able to find her frosting if you decide to try her other stuff
We love a Kiwico sponsor 🥰🥰 thank you for this video
I own the Dash Ice Cream Maker and it has worked for me.
I’m over here really wishing you would have counted the banana pieces like the Sesame Street song and continued the theme! You know what song.. 1,2,3,4,5…6,7,8,9,10…11,12!
We called it banana medicine too and I really appreciated you including the Count Ah ah ah
Dude!! That mask that your husband Uses to sleep I bought it! GAME CHANGER for my ADHD brain. I just put on an audiobook I have heard a million times. I’m out so fast!
I bought the sleep bar by dusker, it’s another speaker that goes under your pillow. I absolutely love it and mine is super clear as long as it’s under my ear, if I roll over I have to adjust it with me.
Hi Rachel! I don't know if you will read my comment, but, there is a brand that makes headbands with integrated headphones that you can use as a night mask. The brand is Hoomband. I use it and I'm really happy with it.
The Costco play sofa is AMAZING. My 4 year old and 1 year old love it.
Looked up about halfway through the video and thought "WOW, that kitchen remodel is looking BOMB!"
Thank you so much 😭💗
Rachel I just wanted to say you work hard and you're the only youtuber that I wait for thursdays and weekends.
Amazon has sleep mask headphones that cover the eyes. I've used one for the last couple years and they're great. It has tiny flat speakers over the ears.
Every time I here the word Kiwi on the other side of the world it sounds crazy. I am indeed a kiwi. (New Zealander). I adore you so much Rachel. Sending so much love ❤❤❤
Loving the Count every time you count something. hahaha.
I have bone conducting headphones and I will never go back to regular headphones again (unless I need noise cancelling). Soooo comfortable, and the brand I like just put out "ear buds" and darn rights they're on my birthday list for the end of the month.
I'm so glad I came across your channel, I've been watching your videos for a while and you are a wonderful person and an amazing mother. Can't wait for next week.
Thank you so much!! 💗💗
For the speaker, bone conduction technology requires the device to contact the cheek or jaw bones and the inner ear picks up the vibrations. Would love an update on your thoughts if you were able to test the speaker again!!
The Dolly Parton coconut cake is way better. Also having the matching frosting is a plus.
Can you please do a video on your sleep routine?
You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs to watch when I’m falling asleep 😂 that sounds like an insult but I promise it’s not!! It’s comfort! And I’m watching now while laying in the sun so…versatility!
"We'll listen to one of my videos, which is not what I listen to as I try to fall asleep, but I've heard some of you do that." Not me lying in bed watching this video trying to fall asleep. >_>
I've been adding instant pudding mix to all my came mix since the beginning of time. It makes it super moist and adds flavor.
You split the cake batter into 2 pans. I’m assuming the time that was stated on the box was if you put the batter into one cake pan
Cream cheese icing and banana flavored cake was what my husband's groom's cake was and it was a hit!!!!
The Dash ice cream maker is almost there. It is like they focused on how the old ice cream makers looked and not how they worked. It needs a smaller metal bowl for the ingredients so that there is room for ice and rock salt to be placed on the outside of the metal bowl. Then it would work.
I chuckled at your jokes. They were fun and I hope you continue making them.
'Gesundheit' is actually a real German word. It means 'health' and is used as a post-sneeze comment.
I love the backsplash! It’s coming along nicely!
You should try the open run by shoks. They're bone conduction but sit just in front of your ears. Absolutely fantastic for listening to things and calls
The nugget couch sounds like good ideas it will keep small children safe and from damaging your couch I don't have children but I have family who does this will be a good gift idea thanks
I have a little Onn speaker that I use to listen to audiobooks. When my husband is sleeping I put it under my pillow and can hear it just fine. I think any regular speaker should work, as long as it is loud and clear in the room. I also use a contour pillow which is thick memory foam. The Onn speaker should be even clearer under a regular fluff pillow.
I wonder if the pillow speaker depends on the kind of pillow you have. You have like a structured, foam pillow right? Would probably work better with a fluffy pillow
I have a cuisinart ice cream machine that you freeze the bowl it works great, same idea as the Dash one but better executed.
Omg this is the first time i have heard of anyone except me that listen to thing that i have seen when i go to sleep. Thats the only way i sleep.
Microwave in the basement, that’s a new one 😂😉
The ice cream was so bad it was cut out off the video 😂😂😂
Funny thing about your comparison of the words "snissors" and "Gesundheit" is, that "Gesundheit" is german and translates to "health" (it is also the german version of "bless you") whilst "snissors" is not a real word :D
Greetings from Germany, I love your videos :)
I LOVE Dolly Parton! We used to go to Dollywood twice a year when I was a kid!
Seeing the bag of milk in the pitcher will never not be strange to me😂❤😂
Cake mixes are formulated so that anyone can do it and it’s almost impossible to over mix. I know it goes against all the rules of making homemade cakes but these cake mixes aren’t for advanced bakers. Personally I’ve made the Dolly Parton cake mixes and they actually are pretty good. They don’t taste like a cake from a mix that’s for sure. If you wanted to make the mix without adding pudding then the recipe is normally on the side of the box instead of the back. Depends on which mix.
My grandma used to make Banana cake with cream cheese frosting. 😊
That pillow speaker was the first item you've tried that I might have bought, so thanks for trying it so I didn't waste my money 😅 was really hoping it worked tho, that would have been so cool
You used a dry measuring cup for your milk. You should always use a liquid one for liquids cause it’s a bit different for dry.
It's the way when you were counting the eggs I got really sad that you weren't doing the Count counting like normal, and got SO HAPPY when you did the "ah ah ah"
As a southerner, I definitely suggest making traditional banana pudding. 🙂 Also, I totally understand why you didn't trust the recipe directions!
Totally agree with the pillow speaker...big fail. I was really hoping for something better
Racheal, the rule is always mix dry ingredients with dry ingredients and wet with wet when baking. Then mix them together. (Cake).
Can you share your green smoothie recipe that you say is the best? Request from Mississippi😁
I have the knife scissors and they are handy for *some* foods. I find I forget i have the tool and reach for scissors or a knife instead 🤷🏻♀️
Hey been watching yours for a few months so not technically new but newish. I also watch your channel and i love both of them ❤
The scissor knife would probably work really well for chopping up herbs!!!!!!
what about like a meringue frosting (super lean into the banana pudding ness).
We have 2 Wild Kids couches and landing pad and we love them! Still just as expensive as nuggets
Omg I literally thought it was just me that was tortured by Banana flavoured medicine as a child! And I was born and raised in Australia!
Ya know you could melt your butter on the stove. It’s just as fast😂
I was thinking to myself, 'The Southern ladies are coming for Rachh" lol. Yeah. Banana puddin' it's a MUST for the nilla wafers. That's why it's only 12 bananers lol. You should remake it the correct way. I'm telling you, it's soooo good! Love your channel and I actually love that you don't necessarily follow directions hahahhaa. It's kinda your thing.
Rachel, some days I love watching you! Other days you get on my nerves. But that's not your fault 😭. I have BPD. If you know, you know. Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
I love this color on you! So cute !
Ohhhhhh I love this! Dolly Parton is my neighbor! I love her soooo much!
If you can find the Dolly Fudgey Brownie mix it is AMAZING!
The knife scissors are for cutting up your herbs.
You gotta check out Dolly Parton's cast iron frying pans, they look so adorable especially the mini guitar pan ❕❗
Would love to know where the lamp on the left is from???
The knife scissor things could be good for herbs and stuff like green onions
What happened to the Ninja Creami?? The same 24 hrs you had to wait for the bowl to freeze are the hours you have to wait for the custard to freeze. Looks like serving size is the same. From what I can see. I don’t have either appliance.
Not new here but commenting for the first time. Absolutely love your videos and I think I actually subscribed to this channel first (but I’m not sure, it was a long time ago). Anyways, the individual ice-cream thing made me think of something I got last year and my kids (2 and 6) absolutely love it. It’s the pan-n-ice ice-cream maker. They also sell kits. It’s amazing! But definitely get the original (pink and blue, UK company). You can make any flavour. And you also don’t necessarily need the mix, you can use condensed milk and cream and then add your own (the kids love strawberries or Oreos). I first saw the guys of Sorted food review it. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s also so entertaining, not just for kids
Its like making a pudding cake
Banana medicine is amoxycillin, as a child I drank a full bottle of the stuff straight out of the fridge I liked it so much. Now I can't stomach banana milkshake because of the artificial flavouring...
You said snow?!? It’s May in Canada. We finally have spring no talk of this weather
I do like my mini dash waffle maker. Never tried the other products.
I recently was looking for the Nilla wafers….. my husband found out they are discontinued in Canada 😮
As someone allergic to penicillin, finding out that it's banana flavor is absolute news to me even in my mid-thirties.
I totally forgot about the cake😂😂
You might like AfterShokz bone conducting headphones.
The backsplash looks beautiful Rachel. You guys got rid of your microwave up there too. Looks good. Mmmm banana pudding would have been yummy too on the cake ❤
