    Whenever my Granny would make an "accident" cake she and I would eat it. She said it was our "secret" that she made accidents on purpose because they were the best and she wanted to share the best with me. Every time I make an "accident" in the kitchen I remember my Granny. Thanks for sharing this video. Happy Easter!!

      Jammie the cake look very teasty . Its perfect...don't mind at all. You both did your best!!! And that's always the right way. 😎
      I notice that we have the same bin. The creme colour one. In your beautiful kitchen. Here in holland we coloured the eggs the same way. And we put little stickerts on them. With little easter bunny and 🐣🐇🐥 those. I don't no the name. The baby chiken. My Englisch is very poor ....so sorry. Do you in Engeland and in your country......that you hide the eggs in the garden? And the childeren must find them. So happy game. I have 2 sons.....18 years and 21. When the where little they love to look and find the eggs in the garden. We put the eggs in a basket. And we share them. I loved that time.!! My sons have tippecel names from the Netherlands. Maarten and Sander. Have a nice easter....hopefely the Werther is nice. We have very nice Werther all this week. Very sunny and blue sky. Have a very good easter weekend. Be ware and stay safe. Love you a lot and thank for sharing. Bye bye Esther of the Netherlands.

    I love your all's "accident cake"! It's wonderful and creates a fun and delicious memory! Here in the USA, we call that particular cake "Marble Cake" because swirling chocolate cake batter through vanilla batter creates a marble effect...my Mother began making them in the late 1960s. We also have the Easter traditions of coloring/decorating eggs, have both chocolate eggs and chocolate rabbits, plus our traditional Easter baskets for hunting/gathering the colored/decorated eggs after they are hidden...the children enjoy this activity. ...The both of you make very nice enjoyable videos...thank you both for your time and work. ...I'm watching this video now because we are approaching Easter 2022!

    Hi Kirsten and Joerg,
    I love the way the eggs turned out. the brown color of the eggs created a base layer of color to lay the darker color dyes on top, creating colors resembling a jeweled effect. many great artists like Da Vinci painted brown underpaintings for their masterpieces. My ultimate favorite: the accident cake! priceless 🥰🤣

    Once, for a baking project that was going to be judged, I baked a pound cake, forgetting to put the baking powder into the batter. The cake came out about an inch high. It tasted wonderful -- all the flavor concentrated in that 1 inch high cake. Needless to say, I had to make another one for my project. Don't apologize for using the gluten free flour. I have to be GF also. I've found (and I'm sure you have too) that you just have to search for recipes that work. And they're delicious! I enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones. Happy, Happy Easter! :-)

    Love it! In my little family we began a tradition when my kids were little, of making an Easter Tree - getting a branch from outside and painting blown out eggs with watercolors or dying them, gluing a hanging string to the top hole and hanging the finished eggs, smallest on the top and largest on the bottom. Over the years we've continued, adding some bought beaded eggs, some European tiny painted wooden eggs, etc. When I visited my daughter and family one year in Cambridgeshire, I couldn't find white eggs to save my life, nor egg dying kits. But I dearly wanted my little granddaughter to experience the joys of Easter Egg Tree. So we blew out the insides of the brown eggs and covered them with bits of colored tissue paper and glue (papier mache' style), attached the hanging strings, hung them on a branch we cut from the garden and voila! An Easter Tree. Thank you so much for sharing your life and love with all of us! Happy Easter from California.

    MORE EGG DECORATION; HERE IS ONE for PLANT LOVERS: try this: a.) pick some leaves and spring flowers to would fit the size of an egg b.) find some tights, possibly used ones or torn ones that you wouldn´t want to wear anymore (to all the male readers: ...that you would NEVER wear😅). c.) prepare the colour according to Jörg´s and Kirsten`s suggestion d.) place leaves or blossoms on the egg and then put the eggs into the tights but make sure the leave/blossom stay in place during the procedure; then colour the eggs as suggested e.) enjoy the result- you will see the shape of the plant on the shell.

    That's exactly how we made colored eggs here in Kentucky, USA growing up. My father's family is from Germany. My grandmother remembered her mother speaking German when she was a little girl. I'm guessing the cake tasted wonderful! If you bake it again, maybe try dusting the pan with you gluten free flour after the grease/butter. That's what Mom did on all her cakes and I do too. I'm glad to see you both doing well! Take care and Happy Easter!

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  4 роки тому

      Thanks so much Laura! Oh yes, we actually dusted the mould with some almond flour too but the gluten free flour is to blame, the cake is super leight weight with this kind of flour but it tastes great. Happy Easter to you.

    Decorating eggs used to done when I was young, it just seems to be a tradition that has died out, though it is probably carried on it lots of areas in the UK. Even when we couldn't get colouring as you can today, you would use onion skins and tea on white eggs overlapping for deeper shades and some parts marked off, like say, tie dyeing. Rabbits and eggs as Easter tradition dates back to the Vernal Equinox celebrations, pre-Christmas times. Pencils and paints were used as well on the eggs and the families names. There is an old folk song about Pace- Egging.
    Did you butter the bundt mould well? Maybe that contributed to the accident. Still the proof of the pudding is in the eating! I have eaten gorgeous looking desserts and paid a lot of money for them, and they've been a great disappointment. In that respect yours wins the day! XXX

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, we did crease the mould and also used almond flour, we use the mould so often for cakes, sadly it's the gluten free flour, doesn't always work. But the cake tastes great.

  • @janicefolks645
    @janicefolks645 4 роки тому

    When I have had these accidents it was because my pan was so new. New ones you do have to grease & flour (or cocoa), very well. If you do not want all that heavy grease & flour taste on your expensive cake, make a cheap cake mix a few times to “season the pan”. Never put in dishwasher or use a lot of soap. If possible, no soap, just hot water & dry. It is such a beautiful cake pan mold, that is why he wanted it. My grandmother taught me this, she was born in 1912 and lived to 92 years old. She called it seasoning it. Love y’all, keep up the great team work!

  • @DoloresJRush

    Here in the US, we also dye eggs and sometimes we decorate the boiled eggs with a white wax crayon before dipping them into the color. The white crayon acts to resist the paint color, so you will have surprises reveal themselves like little flowers or dots or lines circling the eggs after they are removed from their dye bath. After our Easter egg hunt, mom would open the eggs carefully and make deviled eggs with them to go with our Easter dinner. Yum! Other Easter treats besides chocolate bunnies are Cadbury chocolate eggs or jelly beans in little plastic eggs that pop open in the center. We usually had ham for our dinner, but other families I know of had lamb. We would also have cake and ice cream or milk for dessert. What a sugar RUSH! :)

    Happy Easter!, My Grandchildren painted wooden eggs this year. They like to hide them outside. This is the first year since 1971 that my children didn’t paint real eggs. We needed to save them for eating and not hiding. They take turns hiding for each other and the eggs are not eaten afterwards. Or maybe the dog can have them with their food.

    Just a baking tip. When making a marble cake, put blobs of white batter next to blobs of chocolate batter. After it’s all in the pan swirl it together gently with a dinner knife. Will turn out much better than with a fork. Also spray your pan generously with baking spray. Get it in every little nook & crannie. Will help it release from the pan much better than butter.

    • @KirstenJoerg

    Your "accident" cake was the bright spot of my day! Who knows, scooping cake from the pan could become the next food trend! I was surprised at how well the colors worked on the brown eggs. Coloring eggs for Easter is widespread in the U.S. so I wasn't aware that it was a German tradition. But since I am part German, Welsh and Slovak, it was already a family tradition when I was growing up.

    I am 61, Kirsten. You took me back to my childhood. We used to learn to colour eggs for Easter in the primary school. If I remember correctly, we used to use fabric colouring in small sachets. It was very messy. Things have changed. It's not done any more. No more Easter. Thank you for always bringing a smile on my face. 😘
    Happy Easter.

    I didn't realize my ancestors brought that tradition over with them. I'm 61 and my mom made our colored eggs just like this, this comp..Paas..put out the tablets in a kit. We had a ceramic biz for a some yrs, mom would color ceramic eggs using colored oils in water, they came out looking tie-dyed. The cake still looks tasty, I'm sure you were disappointed to see it, but it happens, and we don't mind, as they say...that's life. Hope you had a nice day.

    That was hilarious. I was sorting through our loft yesterday because we still need to properly unpack after moving into this house and I found the Bundt tin that my husband bought when we were on our honeymoon. When I saw it I thought how sad that we have never used it but now I am definitely making an accident cake. When I was younger we always dyed our eggs. We used onion skins to make the eggs brown! Sometimes we dripped candle wax onto them before we dyed them with food colouring then washed it off with hot water after to make nice patterns. I think I’ll do it next year. My father has hens so we use whatever colour they lay. Our duck lays very light eggs and geese lay white eggs too if you struggle with hen eggs again. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure. It’s great that you don’t take yourselves too seriously.

    The Easter eggs are gorgeous! I was impressed that you got the colors to look as good as they did, using the brown eggs. Very rich deep colors. It's so interesting that huge chocolate eggs are common in England, but not in Germany. We lived in Germany for a couple of years and I have fond memories of so many lovely holiday traditions there. As for the cake- Those molds are so tricky! You just never know what you'll get. But I loved "being there" to witness the whole process. I am so glad you and Joerg are still making videos. You bring a lot of happiness to people, and we really need it now.

    I am catching up on your videos so this comment is VERY late. I am in America and we always colored eggs for Easter with packaged tablets as well. And we have chocolate bunnies for our Easter baskets too. I never heard of chocolate eggs until I married my English husband. Now we do both. Love that you showed your accident cake. We've all had culinary accidents. When I make a bundt cake, I learned to let it cool only 10 to 15 minutes, turn it out and let it cool the rest of the way. Works like a charm, though I don't know if you will even see this comment! I love watching you two!
