    just started using a kitchen aid paddle mixer with rubber blades on the outside …. really scrapes down the side of the bowl and means you don’t have to scrape down the sides well at least as much !! i made some shortbread the other week and frankly i didn’t have to scrape the sides at all and they were thoroughly mixed … nice video as always … thank you 👍👍

    • @PreppyKitchen

      I have that one too but I still like the regular paddle best actually. Might have to give the rubber one another try soon.

    • @OriginalMomo
      @OriginalMomo 20 днів тому +9

      I have the same paddle, make sure you check the bottom. It gets the sides well, but not the very bottom of the bowl.

      Love your videos. I’ve made your carrot cake, German chocolate and most of your soups. Your recipes never disappoint.
      My mom used to make a strawberry shortcake(her term) where she used a cake similar to this one. She used some type of icing that was cooked on the stove and was very white. Are you aware of a frosting recipe I could use that is similar to what I described. Unfortunately I never asked her how she made it.

    Back in my day, we just called it a vanilla (or white) cake with butter cream.. always been my go-to cake when you aren't sure what flavor everyone will eat and you want to please everyone at dessert time - and in most homes - vanilla (or white) cake will be eaten by everyone! This cake looks amazing!!

    I learned so much from this video! 1. The history behind the naked cake craze- it’s for the people who like cake, especially the layers, but find that there is too much frosting on the side of the cake.
