 My gosh. Oh, this is such a weird angle. Hmm. Hmm. Well, hello and welcome to vlogmas day 22 We're gonna do a cook with me slash drink with me These are my dollar store glasses and I currently have my boxed wine in there And I'm gonna drink it by myself because isn't that what the holidays all about? All right Freakin refreshing. I am gonna bake a cake. I've got my laptop over here, which Didn't think about this ahead of time like I actually print out the piece of paper. So whatever. I don't have a printer I'm gonna make this rum cake, right? It's amazing. I'll walk you through it And this is gonna be the vlog and I'm gonna drink throughout the whole thing This is called the delicious rum cake. This is from my mom's neighbor Carlos that unfortunately doesn't live there anymore They just move which is sad, but it's amazing. So whatever. So you need one box of yellow cake mix You need vanilla What is it the four and a half box instant vanilla pudding this one is technically 4.6 ounces But it's as good as I can get it one quarter or a quarter cup of vegetable oil Which I have here. I haven't even opened any of this stuff yet. So I'm kind of pumped a quarter cup of rum specifically Puerto Rican rum so I did look and this comes from Cuba and it says made in Puerto Rico. So this is legit So I'm excited about that for large eggs, which are in the fridge I'll get those in a moment and then I also need walnuts crushed. I can only find Just regular unsalted walnuts. So I'm gonna throw them in a bag and smack the crap out of them So they're gonna be crushed that So yeah, I got a bunch of walnuts because I was like, I don't know how many I need So basically you mix it all together and oh by the way, I got like a little handheld mixer, dude At bed, bath and beyond today because I'm not like a real adult and I didn't have this in my life So in the oh shit, how do I do this? I'm not like a real-life adult person. I don't get it. It's not plugged in. Don't worry I said bed, bath and beyond today Really the only reason I got it is because it's white and it was 20 bucks It's from Hamilton Beach six speed burst and this is like it says it's a bowl rest So whatever I need this I guess I don't need it. It's just like makes my life a whole lot easier So whatever and you need a bunch pan I got this bump pan at home goods a while back and I'm gonna grease this sucker up with some Like solid Crisco as well as some flour So that's gonna happen. So you sprinkle the nuts on the bottom pour the cake mix stuff for all the ingredients on the top You bake it for an hour and 35. Oh, wow. You bake it for one hour on 325 degrees Fahrenheit and then there's also a glaze and we're gonna go into the glaze later because I feel like I've already talked too Much because it's like already saying four minutes. So we're just gonna go with it So let's put all this stuff together and I'll just keep the camera going and hopefully Future Emily can clip together something that resembles some sort of a vlog. So yeah, let's do this All right cake mix is happening first. Oh, hold on Almost forgot the babies. My eggs were hiding on me But those go in last anyway, so what up and at the grocery store? I could not find just a regular yellow cake mix I can only find moist cake mix. So this is gonna have to do because They're all like moist and extra moist I decided to go with moist and I'm sorry about The word moist if any of you people don't like it out there. I don't mind the word I actually find it very funny because I do giggle Inside when I hear it and when I say it. So yeah All right, so you pour that sucker in and then you pour oh gosh You pour in the jello, right? Yeah, okay So I got my cake mix and then my vanilla jello. This is like a hot mess situation I don't bake nor really cook that much. So Gross All right, we're gonna pour all of that in spouting back at me It's like angry that I've made it do the things it's supposed to do and now I need measuring things My god, do I even have measuring things? I found measuring thingies. So I need What is it a quarter cup of vegetable oil? Oh look it's sealed for my protection Well, we're gonna break the seal guys. We're gonna break that seal speaking of breaking the seal I need some more beverages. I feel like Hannah Hart right now Doing a my drunk kitchen episode But I'm not Drunk yet. Maybe by the end of this I might be who knows all right quarter cup Vegetable oil come on. There we go. All right quarter cup Let's go one in doodly doodly back on because Emily likes to spill things sometimes and then we need a quarter cup of the rumski's Oh It's like so good. It's bad. You know what I mean? All right. What is this? Okay a quarter cup of rum Oh my gosh That's all. Oh, that's right. I there's there's more rum in like the topping thing. So Stay tuned. I feel like this is gonna be a really long video. So just like grab a snack or grab some rum and watch along so now I Gotta like put the eggs and stuff in but I don't have I didn't think this through I don't have an outlet close to me. Let me angle you guys so you can kind of see what I'm doing I should have put one egg in first. Whoopsie. Oh Well, and it's there's supposed to be large eggs. So I didn't specifically get large eggs So egg number one and then you beat like working very well. I need like a little Thing imaging. Yeah one of these okay Flexible specialist situation I need more liquids. All right More egg egg number two Getting cakey or not cakey you're in a bad way, but cake you're in like a more good cakey consistency way. Got it No shelves. No shelves. I feel like This goodness Needs to go back in the bowl. All right last egg Actually baking something kind of amazing. I'm done with the liquidy Situation all right. So and then it says walnuts. I crushed the walnuts now I crushed them yet. I need to like prep my pan. I get to crisco the thing It just makes it easier. So yours is what it's used for But we're gonna try it and we're gonna see if this works I need some more yarn. I don't know what I'm doing this coating a pan That I'm not gonna get enough on there and that my cake or whatever. I'm trying to make Will not come out of Emily's paranoia for the day guys Emily's paranoia of the day. I got it pretty good You guys can't really see but I've coated it so need to Flower the Bunt pan too. I don't really know what that means to be completely honest But I'm pretty sure it just means to put like a light coating of flour Kind of like all around it and just like hopefully this all like works out Oh speaking of stuff working out. Maybe I should just like get rid of my eggs I could just see the shells taking a turn for the worst. I've got my little Container of flour here. I'm gonna throw a little bit of it in and I don't know. We'll see what happens. I think I'm putting like way too much in there But I don't I don't really know but like I put a lot in there, but I think The idea is To like coat it I don't really know what I'm doing. Is this lightly coating? I'm sure the internet will tell me later all the things I'm doing wrong Like getting flour all over my counters. Oh Man, I forgot the like center part of it. Oh shit. Don't judge me mom I know you're judging me right now because I don't know what I'm doing I'm like getting the center part of it because I don't know how to like lightly coat that In a light fashion, so I'm just Doing the best that I can. All right. I feel like this is more like heavy coated But I don't really know so I'm gonna just knock some of this out. All right. I feel like that looks better, right? Is that more lightly coated? I need to clean up my mess because Look, I'm really baking my hands are like all chalky and such All right, I don't think I need any more of this. I think I'm done With this situation. Oh my gosh, and now oh crap. I need to like Do the walnuts? Man. All right. Hold on walnut time. So I'm gonna put my walnuts in this bag And we're gonna smash them how many I need I think I might need me like a size it just said walnuts, so Maybe I'll use two of these bags and PS these bags are five ounces apiece You're allergic to nuts like don't do this oh car something like really heavy to like smash it So we're gonna thumb out of the way when I do this However, it would be a whole lot more helpful if this is a real tutorial to actually show you what I'm doing But I'm just I'm doing my best guys. I'm doing my best So for the smashness, okay, maybe I didn't need this much. Oh Crumb all right. I did not need that much I probably needed like half of that if if that oh my gosh, and now take your spatula I would take mine from earlier, but it's in a dirty sink now, and we're gonna pour it in. Oh my gosh I'm doing it you guys. I'm so excited I'm gonna just turn the oven on to begin with but I'm an idiot and I don't bake so sorry I had to turn the oven on to 325 this puppy's gonna go in for an hour, and then I'm gonna do the glaze So I'll be right fire. Here's what it looks like before Don't the da it's in the oven and ready to go. I will see you in one hour friend Okay, so my cake is not done yet, but oh my battery is flashing dang it Okay, so in the meantime makes this every single year for like what get-togethers and stuff and it is raspberry jello with frozen raspberries like on the top, but I used a mold that I got at Bad Bath & Beyond I'm gonna wipe this thing clean because I kind of messed it up, but I put one package of this and One package of This like nox stuff. I had to call my mom because I like Had a question, and I wanted to make sure I was doing it right so thank you favorite mother I had to change the battery, but anyway, thank you favorite mother. I appreciate it and I'm gonna clean off the like Top portion of this right here, and this bad boy is going in the fridge, and I'm gonna enjoy it tomorrow So I will check back once I start the glaze which will be about 15 minutes before the Cake is actually done, and I have my timer on my phone. Yeah, it's over here. I'm listening to my hip-hop barbecue I got my timer on my phone ready for 15 minutes before and then I will start the glaze and walk you guys through it All right. We're about halfway there on the cake. I just wanted to show you guys a little sneak peek It is looking freaking delicious. Okay, that's it for now. We should see what Doyle is doing There's like a red a red strawberry toy right there. Hey, what are you doing? Sir just the cutest little boy. He's not been helping me because I'm not making anything that is meat related So he's not helping me in the kitchen today Yep You don't like delicious rum cake from Carlos Doyle you don't even know the epicness buddy. You don't even know the epicness That little sheba face. Yes, so cute. Yes, so cute Almost ready to do the glaze. Okay. Hi. I am back. I got a refill. So there's that We're gonna make the glaze so the glaze is one cup of sugar right here a Half a cup of butter which I have a stick So I'll just cut it in half and then a half a cup of rum and a fourth cup of water And that says combine ingredients in the saucepan boil gently for one minute I remove the cake from the oven I'm gonna poke holes in it with these little handy-dandy chopsticks and then I pour the glaze into The cake while it's still warm in the butt pan And then once the cake is completely cooled then I can like flip it over and take it out So also there's a little note on This word document and it says cake age as well may be Made days in advance and it also freezes well too. So that is true It typically tastes better the next day, which is why I'm making it today And we're gonna eat it in about 24 hours So let's do this thing one cup of sugar. Hold on I have like All my things out. Oh my gosh Like seriously, there we go. Let's back up a little bit because you guys don't necessarily like want Like Boob shots, you know what I'm saying? Okay. So we're gonna this going One cup of sugar. Here we go. That needs to go in the wash now I'm making such a large mess you guys such a large mess Okay, and what was it a quarter cup of water? Let's get that going It's a quarter cup of water And then was it a whole cup a half a cup of rum now looks like a party. Speaking of sticky Let's cut this butter boy in half now. It's in half I'll use the other half tomorrow for The gathering of sorts But uh, all right are all those the things the sugar butter rum water combined. Okay, cool So let's show you what it actually looks like So that's what it looks like And I just turned Whoops, sorry I just turned the um burner on so it's not like hot yet. So I'll keep dissolving this make it boil for a minute and then um Yeah, then we'll uh pour it on the cake Important things while you're cooking It's so exciting the glaze is almost done and I don't know what's going on with this knife, but I don't think it should be out. So now it is finally boiling and we're gonna boil for about a minute. Is that what it says? Boil gently gently not vigorously boiled gently. So let's turn the heat down a little bit one minute The boil is a little bit more gentle now. You guys probably want to see what it looks like, huh? Because what's so fun and not knowing what it looks like, but dang This is what it looks like I just turned the heat off so It will stop doing the bubbly thing in a little bit. So That's what's happening But we've got about five minutes or so And uh until the cake is ready to be taken out of the oven Do you guys want a sneak peek? I think you do. Mm deliciousness. Oh, I'm so excited. Oh, it smells So good by the way like I should bake more often right guys, but like I would just eat it all like that's my problem I just I don't have anybody to bake for so it's all gonna go right to the butt. You know what I mean like It's probably not good for me, you know for the cholesterol For the rump, you know for everything. So I know the best idea in the land But okay, we're gonna let that cook for another five minutes and I will see you guys in a second Okay, cake is done. It looks amazing I already did the um toothpick test So next step is you take a chopstick or an ice pick or whatever you want and you just kind of start poking all over it because you want all that liquidy goodness to get inside of the cake and so I'm not going to show me pouring the liquid because That definitely takes Some skills to I do not have That's what you do and I'll show it to you when I'm done pouring liquids glaze is done And now I'm just gonna wait for this to completely cool all the way through And then I can turn this bad boy upside down I do have a cake plate with like a glass dome that I need to set up, but fun fact, um The wine is all I've drank tonight and eaten tonight and it's 9 34 So I think what I'm gonna do in the meantime is I'm gonna eat something while I wait for this to dry be or not dry. Wow Oh my gosh to cool down I am really losing My marbles today like for real sees you guys. I am losing it So I think that's probably gonna take at least an hour Maybe a little bit more for that thing to dry all the way through so Yeah, but I'm so excited You guys I wish you had smell of vision and like all of you could come over. I'm so excited about this I kind of want to eat it right now, but I'm not going to I'm gonna wait willpower guys willpower The cake is done I am going to bed because I am tired This is all nice And moist and glazed is not burnt by the way But this is how it's supposed to look and oh my gosh, it looks freaking amazing I'm gonna put my little glass topper on it and I am saying good night right now I will see you guys tomorrow for some epic fun. Good night guys
