 it's Tammy and today's my birthday. So I made Devil's Food cake that Granny used to make. It is time to cut the cake. All fashion favorite. Devil's food with seven-minute icing. Let's get started. Now you need to get you a boiler that's small enough for a mixing bowl to sit on top of without the bottom of the mixing bowl going into the water. I've got about that much water in the bottom of this. So now we're just heating this up and when it comes to a boil then we can do our icing. Once you have it mixed up all you have to do is put it over the water and use a mixer on high speed for seven minutes. You're going to use one and one half cups of sugar, quarter teaspoon of salt, quarter teaspoon of cream of tartar, it's all the dry stuff in. So you should be able to mix this up in time for this to start boiling over here. Now you're going to crack two eggs and we're just going to be using the white of the egg. We're going to use light corn syrup and we use K-row down here. Light corn syrup. We're going to be using two teaspoons of light corn syrup. You can hear the water starting to want a boil. There's one, two. We're going to put in the egg whites, a one-third cup of water and the only thing we're going to have to put in the end at the end is vanilla. So I'm going to mix this up quickly. Now we're going to get it over our water. Once it's on the water go ahead and set your timer for seven minutes and press the start button because you're going to mix this exactly seven minutes over this boiling water. When that vapor goes off, slide it off the heat, add your vanilla and beat it two more minutes. I've got a paper plate that I'm going to ice it on and then I'll transfer it to my cake stand over here right there. So we're going to get started with it and I think I may go ahead and try to slice the layers. I think I've got enough icing so let's do it y'all. So we're going to slice this in half and slice this one in half. Now if you're not real experienced icing cakes, I would have sliced the layers. I would actually bake them in smaller sections because chocolate will get everywhere in your icing if you're not a pretty good vapor. It's like marshmallow cream. The reason you have to beat it so long, so don't skimp, is because that sugar has to have time to dissolve. If you don't beat it long enough, then your sugar will be grainy in your in your icing and you don't want it to be grainy. You want it to be nice and smooth like this is. This is just a Devil's Food Pillsbury cake mix. It doesn't show. It is time to cut the cake. Boy Chris is missing out because he's up in Chattanooga with his brother-in-law fishing and I made a delicious cake. Oh my, that's so good. I gotta go y'all. I gotta eat. Thanks for watching, called Valley Cooks, where we cook like mama did. Bye y'all. Love y'all.
