He saw some videos about what he was like, you know I was watching this video of some African Americans who went over to Ghana and they were selling something called they were Getting something called shea butter. Do you know what that? I'm like Do you not realize that I am a natural hair youtuber? I am a walking bar of shea butter or walking Yorkshire. Yeah, I know what shea butter Do I know what shea butter? So anyway, I got some shea butter, but he sent me another video accidentally deleted it I need to have an assignment send it to me again There are a couple and this has been happening for a long time But there are plenty of African Americans who are moving back to the motherland purchase in land opening up their own businesses And a lot of people actually go over there and get resources like shea butter Come back over here and sell it.

This is cute. All right. Let me put on here's everything I'm gonna be using to make my lemon cake now It's really hard for me to do measurements you guys because I switch up the recipe as I am cooking So but you can see everything here that is listed and yes I did three sticks of butters that is for the actual cake and for the icing because I will be making a buttercream Lemon icing so starting off with the cake. We have one and a half Boxes of the cake mix just one and a half boxes a half of the pudding and then I'm gonna go ahead go ahead and mix This up now. I use about one and a half cups of buttermilk to a half a cup of Water but again playing around with the measurements as I am cooking Add it One and a half sticks of the milk butter and I like to add my eggs one at a time at one egg mix one egg mix four Eggs there then I have some lemon zest about one tablespoon then we have the Lemon asterisk and the vanilla about one tablespoon of each now This is going to go in the oven at 365 until done about 35 40 minutes for the buttercream One and a half sticks of softened butter you want to mix this minimum the butter along alone five minutes Then adding the pot of sugar Two and a half cups to three cups of powdered sugar and then last but not least adding juice of one lemon Some lemon asterisk and vanilla asterisk mixing that again for a good three minutes I also added one tablespoon of half and half This was a very very light to buttercream frosting. These are my cakes they done And now I'm going to take one layer and spoon on half of the mixture this went into 9 inch cake pans everything will be a little bit different if you're using your typical 8 inch um I Made a mistake in that my cakes were not completely cooled off when you were using buttercream homemade buttercream frosting because it is made with butter you want to ensure that it's completely Cold chilled before frosting. I didn't do that And so what happened is that the icing the layer here the ice and started to seep through but that's okay That's okay. I use that whatever seep through at the bottom. I use that to frost the bottom of the cake This is a top layer flipping it over because I want it flat and what I did as I Candied some of the lemon zest by boiling it Um, excuse me I use a vegetable pillage to peel a little bit of the lemon and then I boiled it in some sugar water And then I rolled it in some extra sugar to make the lemons that's on top And I ended up cutting up some limes and excuse me some lemons and decorating the bottom So this is what it looks like a little messy, but it was so good These days looking like a dream since I've been on the See you should have never seen before With this
