I can help you out with Chetna's cake: 1) Eggs. A US large egg is a UK medium egg. 2) US self-raising flour is 1 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. UK self-raising flour is 1 cup flour plus 2 tsp baking powder. Those two things alone will throw your recipe off. Oh - and Happy Birthday!
Today i learned! TY for sharing.
I kinda figured it must have been something to do with the rising agents since it looked like it had sunk
Or dumping everything in at once activated the gluten and made the cake bread like
@@larryjones558 unlikely. It's not irrelevant but it's extremely overblown
@@larryjones558 I can agree to an extent. But cakes like Victoria sponge work just fine with the throw-it-all-in approach. Even Mary Berry uses it on occasion.
Buttercream that hasn’t been whipped enough will taste like butter. I learned that from Liz Marek. Her channel is The Sugar Geek Show. Happy Birthday.
It’s Swiss meringue buttercream it uses a ton of butter to sugar. I whipped the heck out of mine. I feel like it didn’t have enough sugar. I’m going to try it again with a recipe that uses more sugar or try a chocolate version.
@@Appaddict01 That's why I never follow frosting recipes exactly. Sugar can vary depending how sweet you want something, I would definitely try adding more sugar :)
@@Appaddict01 i've made swiss meringue a few times and it never really tasted like butter. but you can always add more sugar or flavoring to it
@@Appaddict01 just add a lot of vanilla , then you can’t taste the butter as much
Liz is the cake master!!! #sugargeekshow
The Italian buttercream still tastes like butter usually because it wasn't mixed enough, on the other end of the spectrum the cake was probably over mixed making it dense. I was skeptical about throwing all the ingredients in together at once.
It can also taste super buttery if the butter was salted
@@OGDonaldEngel yeah. unsalted butter is always best when making buttercream!
Tip from someone that did grocery store cake decorating, if you're trying to do drips, go around the edge first and get the drips (pipping bag works best if you have one but you can use a spatula or spoon too) and then fill in the top. Makes it so you're drips are done when the chocolate or whatever is warmest and thus leaves you with the best results
If your ganache splits, put it in a blender and mix it for a bit. It should get emulsified and be good as new 🤗
David: It says "do it outside"
Also David: *Reality can be whatever I want*
Love how genuine that intro was...not everything's gonna go your way. That's life
My dad was the cook/baker in the family. He had 2 cake failures that I remember from the distant past. The first was an orange cake. He used the juice from canned oranges in the batter. The cake would not bake and it dense like no other cake I've had. Tasted good but just - so wrong. The second was a chocolate cake and he put pudding in the cake mix. Not instant but the kind you have to cook. That was the driest chocolate cake I have ever had. I soaked a piece in milk - it was dripping - and the cake was still dry.
I think the second one came out like that bc when someone throws all the ingredients in at the same time, it so easy to overmix and have the gluten development go overboard and cause the cake to become so dense
Agreed, I've made many cakes over the years and over mixing is one of the most common mistakes. Not surprised it has the texture of cornbread.
Yep, that's why most recepies call for mixing the dry and wet ingredients separately only to combine them together at the end. Gluten development starts once the flour is wet; throwing everything together takes longer to mix fully and thus creates more gluten.
I think the ingrediants are different in UK and US, since I have done this whole throws all ingredients together and it came out fine (as long as you use good baking powder and baking soda) you just need to be aware of where you're mixing and where you're just letting it overmix. I almost never use stand mixer for this purpose alone
11:54 in the original recipe creator’s defense, European-style buttercreams (Italian, Swiss, French) can be a bit of an acquired taste for people who grew up eating canned frosting or American buttercream with lots of powdered sugar. You can try adding more melted chocolate to it if you want it less buttery and more of the flavor you are going for.
Honestly, I love European buttercream, but I almost exclusively make French, German, or ermine. Italian and Swiss are gorgeous and straight-forward, but... Yeah. Somehow they taste less like butter and more like crisco to me, and I have no idea why. Egg yolks and/or pudding 4 lyfe.
Came here to say the same. I love Swiss bc it's easy and I love the flavor, but I find Italian too buttery and french too eggy.
Yeah was thinking the same thing, I love Swiss the most personally, but it's not sweet enough for me so I always add some powdered sugar at the end to taste. Still not nearly as sweet as American Buttercream though
Excellent point! I love Swiss meringue buttercream, but mind you, this is coming from someone who scrapes off the frosting of most American cakes because they're too sweet. I have a huge sweet tooth, but American buttercream has always been too much for me...
It seems that there is a good reason to mix wet and dry separately. To avoid a dense cake? Also, the UK and the US ingredients I'm sure differ quite a lot. That's a bummer that the Food with Chetna cake didn't come out how you thought. Maybe you can try it again with subtle changes that people from the UK suggested might help. Then if it worked out better you can do a little follow-up video about it. I don't think people realize that baking directions for recipes can be very different if done in another country so it might be helpful for people in the US to see that.
That blue flannel compliments the hair well. Much love David
As soon as I saw you hold up Chetna's cake I immediately said, "That looks like cornbread."
Im glad im not the only one who ends up making my own birthday cake😂
That way you know it's good!
I am thrilled to be here so early!! I’m SO excited for this video, I wish you the best of birthdays! 🎉
I've made Claire's cake with the reverse creaming method and I found the texture came out a bit more bread like than I'm used to for cake. (Not completely like bread--it was definitely still cake, but it had more gluten development which made it seem like it was on the dry side) I realize reverse creaming gives a much flatter top to the baking, but I'd rather do regular creaming and cut the tops off. Anyway Happy belated birthday David!
Haven’t made Claire’s cake, but the recipes I’ve made that used reverse creaming were also way denser than traditional creaming. I guess a denser or tighter crumb is good for structure when stacking a lot of layers, or holds up better over time. But I also prefer the light fluffy texture you get with traditional creaming, cutting off domes isn’t that much work for a nicer result imo!
You can also use cake strips and end up with flatter layers
you’re probably mixing it too much still. The cakes that come out from reverse creaming are really tender
p
so in reverse creaming you’re supposed to mix very little? that might have been the mistake i made, i was following claire’s video and she mentioned that the batter needs to be mixed towards the end more than a traditional creaming cake would be mixed, so maybe i mixed it too much because my cake rose a lot.
Happy birthday David! I follow you since like three years ago lol you've become my comfort channel, you've inspired me a bunch of times to cook and just go along with my day while watching your videos (I have depression so it's quite an accomplishment to me) so I feel like you totally deserve my birthday wishes to you even tho I usually don't comment, I hope we can accompany you in many more birthdays to come, greetings from Colombia!
I absolutely love waking up on Saturdays (German here) and having my coffee and watching David's video before starting my day. That has to be my favourite routine of the week. Keep it up!!
Happy birthday David I’ve been here for like 4 years so proud of how far you’ve come 🥳🥳🥳
We should get David to a million! I can't figure out how he hasn't.
I don't comment that much, but I have always been so grateful for the videos! Idk if I have said this in a previous comment, but your baking skills are insane nowadays! And, of course, always appreciate the have-fun/laid back attitude.
Ive made Tasty chocolate cake and it is really that good. My coworker said its the best one he ever said.
David, your chocolate drip cake looks _really_ good - your presentation looks really great, particularly with how you laid out all the chocolates on top. Even though the recipe may not have panned out, you really killed it with the presentation, for real!
When butter cream tastes like butter it means you have to mix it more time
hey david, i think this video shows some of your very best decorating, assembling and presentation skills! i LOVE these comparison videos, please keep them coming! and happy birthday! 🥰🥰
Awesome vid and happy birthday! Also, it's not just about focus, it's also experience. I've been binging all your old episodes and you keep improving with every single one! 🙌🏽
Happy birthday David! It's been amazing to watch your cooking and baking skills grow throughout the year. Hope to get to watch you for many more years to come!
happy birthday david, congrats on all your success, i'm SO glad you're still making videos 😭 i've been here so long, your channel is comforting, and it's been cool to watch your skills as a home cook grow ❤️

Yasssssss, happy birthday David! We love you 🥰
Happy Birthday David! I've been watching for 5 or 6 years now and have always loved every video. 🎂🍾
For Italian meringue butter cream, I think the type and quality of butter affects the taste. I've made it using Lurpak and kerrygold. It tasted more like butter when I made it using kerrygold, which I guess make sense, coz kerrygold is more buttery😅
Damn David, we share the same birthdays!
My birthday is on March 18th too!
Happy Birthday my dude!!! Live long and prosper and we are all waiting for you to hit that 1 million subscribers!

But, I've got to ask, what happened with the outro music "change"?
I do like this new outro music clip, since the phrase "I'm cooking up that fire out in David's Kitchen" is in it. I *love* it!
Happy birthday, you’re my absolute favorite food youtube channel!
OMG happy birthday David!!!!
Loved that little Claire verdict!

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAYYYYY DAVID!
Great video 😊 Happy belated birthday David, wishing you all the best.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!
I make tastys in a bunt pan. No frosting. It’s perfect. I also use a shot of espresso.instead of powder.
Thanks for the tip! I don't have cake layer pans, but I do have a very large bundt pan! D'you stick to the original recipe's cooking temp & time?
@@chrissymorin check it sooner with a toothpick/cake tester, the bundt will cook a bit quicker due to heat distribution 😊
@@Maruzella_ awesome, thanks! 😊
Happy birthday David! You're one of my favorite UA-camrs ❤
I love you man! You're a real one! Happy belated birthday!
