Busting more FOOD MYTHS! Would you try any of these? What other Myths should I try busting next???
You should all of them Rosa 🧁🎂🍰🧁
You should do you can make a chocolate brownie with Nutella and eggs.
You should build a Harry Potter lego set with justine
I love your vds ro and I love when you bake!!!!!!😊😊
@@Savetion. wth
When I was growing up, my mom always made cake mix cookies that we called “Pudgy Fudgies.” It’s the same method you tried, but with a devil’s food cake mix (+ 2 eggs and 1/2 c oil) and a combination of semisweet chips and butterscotch chips. Trust me-they’re AMAZING! I still make them all the time as an adult, and my friends and coworkers always love them!
Nice 😊
Sounds yummy 🤤
My dad and me would make cookies like that all the time.
I’m going to try it!
My favorite was always the strawberry cake mix one.
As for the Jello frosting trick, when I was a kid my mom/aunties used to make Italian meringue frosting with Jello. The trick is to actually dissolve the Jello with a bit of hot water (concentrated, not like the package says). Then put the dissolved Jello on the meringue (using table spoons so you can control the color/flavor) so it will color and give a bit of the Jello flavor to it (and as a bonus, will help the meringue stay in place).
My family does this but with cream cheese icing and pudding mix! A nice white chocolate pudding makes it really flavorful :) this also works for colored puddings like chocolate or strawberry, as long as you let the pudding firm up ahead of time there's no gritty texture!
Or even just use less jello. My partner uses it, but Ro put in Way to much
I understand why this works but aside from maybe the extra stability from the gelatin, what's the benefit of this over the regular recipe? It appears to take the same time as a regular italian merengue, and you really could do better with flavors than jello artificial ones.
@@Luciachan23 it's also for the color! It colors the icing really well without additional dyes :)
I knew I'd find this answer, and I've never even heard of it.
Learned a lot from this video!! However I would like to see a re-do of the cake mix with the soda. DONT USE THE BEATERS! Just fold the two ingredients until combined. The point here is to try not to pop the carbonation bubbles, therefore making a fluffier cake! I've experimented with both techniques and it does make a difference.
Yeah i was coming down to say something similar because 7up cakes are 100% a thing
I've made cupcakes with soda before. It was Sprite with a lemon cake mix.
It was surprisingly delicious, moist, light and fluffy.
I made a lime frosting with lime zest and it was so good.
I recently made a strawberry mix using champagne. The batter was soooo fluffy/airy when it went into the pans. I baked 3x 6 inch layers for a stacked cake. Turned out perfect and worked great in a pinch!
Yeah, in Germany it’s also a thing to use sparkling water in cake mix 🤷🏼♀️
I'll have to give that a shot!!
Can definitely confirm the mayo and cake mix being a thing, it was common place for people to use mayo as an ingredient back in harder times like WW2 since things like oil and eggs were being rationed and people often had mayo in their pantries. Learned this lil tidbit from my late gran! :3
Huge thing in the south and Midwest too.
My aunt used to make a killer chocolate mayonnaise cake with french butter cream frosting.
Yup! Mayonnaise is fantastic in cakes because it helps keep it from being dry
Mayo is just Beautifully whipped neutral oil and eggs. So clever when you think about it
It can work, especially if the mayonnaise does not have any salt added into it, since mayonnaise is made by emulsifying eggs with oil, it can be a good substitute, but if you buy mayoinnaise from the store, it is usually salty, so I won't even use it for baking.
I appreciate that Ro gave every hack a fair chance and tried to provide substitutes. And that she considered a lot of people bake in a pinch😅
I agree except for 2 of them (that I know of from experience). She shouldn't have used an electric mixer with the soda cakes. If you over-mix the batter or let them sit too long before putting the oven, they sink in the middle like hers did, and really messes with the texture.
The other one she could've done differently was the Jell-O one. You want to, at the very least, pre-dissolve it in a little water first and ideally give the powder 2-3 pulses in a food processor or blender to make a finer powder. Both help immensely in eliminating the graininess that she complained of.
My family used Coca-Cola with chocolate mix and Sprite with vanilla when my brother first was told he had an egg allergy. My mom has since bettered her recipe but this was great when we were first learning how to work around using eggs.
You can just buy vegan egg substitute now or grind up a tablespoon of chia seeds & combine with water to use as egg substitute now.
@@sarahstrong7174 you could also make a flax egg, or use bananas or applesauce if the flavours work :D
@@hiedoodles Yes there's quite a lot of choices now.
@@sarahstrong7174years ago, that substitute didn’t work the best but I’m sure IT’s improved now…. So, you can use soda instead of eggs?
@@catshultz9045 I do not know about that. Sorry.
The cookie dough cupcake tray one works wonders. When I was in a mental hosptial, they’d give us those cookies as a snack if you finished 70% of your food (a lot of us had eating disorders.) and let me tell you, I’ve never liked sweet things at all, but that seriously motivated me to eat my food because they were the best cookies I’ve ever tasted! You need to bake it for less time, and less dough..
6:00
I’m so glad that motivated you! I hope that your doing better
I hope you’re doing better, because that’s a hard recovery to go through and we always will even have rare battles but they can be overcome
The myth that kind of annoys me is the “add an extra egg, milk instead of water, and butter instead of oil” hack for making a boxed cake mix taste like it’s from a bakery. I’ve used this hack, and the butter definitely makes the cake more dense which can be handy, but the entire concept ignores the fact that professionally made oil cakes exist for a reason. Carrot cake is a good example of an oil cake that tastes amazing. Not every cake needs butter in it, and there’s nothing wrong with using oil because it serves a purpose too!
I agree; I feel like people treat modifications to recipes like magical secret ingredients. They don’t take the time to understand what effect each modification is there to achieve
my go to chocolate cake recipe has oil over butter
I've even seen, substitute butter for oil and double it! I get so overwhelmed with the cake hacks and doctored cake mixes I can't always remember which ones actually worked. I now want to work on from scratch recipes anyway. Adding extra eggs has made cakes taste too eggy for me. The main things I do like with cake mixes is to use hot coffee instead of water in chocolate mixes.
I agree! It really does depend on the cake flavor
@@joyfuljaj yeah i always add coffee instead of water
I make the cake mix w soda a lot since it's super quick not needing any other ingredients, and even use flavoured seltzers. I've found cutting down the liquid to 8-10 oz is the magic amount. You can tell by the texture when pouring it in what's right for a cake batter. I do agree it does have less integrity than a normal cake but it's fine for a sheetpan cake and something quick.
We use it to make cake balls lol Doesn't matter if its crumbly or not
It's weird bc I've literally never heard anyone say the soda trick for a cake mix makes it "better and moister". It's just supposed to be an easy way to make a cake without eggs, I thought.
Plus lower calorie if you use a diet/zero soda. That's the only reason I've ever seen given for this hack. Literally never seen it advertised for being better or moister....she just wanted something to "bust"
Or you could just use apple sauce, which works so well
I usually only do the box mix/soda technique with cupcakes, and it turns out GREAT! Maybe since there’s less surface area with a cupcake than a whole cake, but that’s just my guess. My friends actually request my soda cupcakes for any party/cookout, so maybe the cupcake part is the key to success with that.
It's great in a bundt pan too! That's a key staple of a baby shower down here in the south lol. We normally use 7 up
Now I want cake lol
Hello,how are you doing today?
@@roxanne2685 now I want cake 🎂 lol
We use soda instead of water in the vanilla box mix but use eggs und oil and the cake gets ready nice and lemony
Someone mentioned cutting the liquid down for the soda cake and that's a great tip. You can make the sprite cake, top it with whip cream and fresh fruit and boom summer dessert.
Well, yrs ago when, the recipe came out, the suggestion was to top with cool whip!
In St Louis, turning cake mix into cookie dough is part of making a gooey butter cookie. It's super moist and you're supposed to top it with powdered sugar. I'd like to see Ro make them. 😁 They're my favorite. Gooey butter cake is good too.
Yummy 😋 now I want some lol
Hello,how are you doing today?
I love busting baking myths myself! Can’t wait to see this video 💕
I'm from Brazil and soda has been used on cake batter for so long here. We just don't use THAT much soda in the recipe but it truly works perfectly.
I've been making cake mix cookies my whole life, theyre some of my favorites! We usually do a snickerdoodle cookie with yellow cake mix and a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with devils food cake mix.
Hey Ro! 😊Just wanted to tell you that when you make the Oreo mug cake, you want to put less milk so the consistency is a paste or batter. Love your videos!💕
Smart and that is true ✅
True!
U want to add like 2-3drops of milk
You want to put half the amount of milk as the oreo
I did this after reading the comments on the last video and it worked so well
I’ve grown up doing the soda + cake mix recipe for a quick easy dessert while camping! We would basically make a version of a “cobbler” in the Dutch oven. Dump fruit of choice in, cake mix, and pour the soda. No mixing necessary, just needed hot enough coals on the fire and it made a great dessert for Girl Scouts 😁 plus we wouldn’t have to worry about bringing any ingredients that required refrigeration like eggs.
Instead of koolaid powder you can use freeze dried fruit powder to flavor frosting and it's AMAZING. You can powder the fruit in a food processor if you can't get the powder ready made. It won't color the icing as much but the natural flavor of the fruit really comes through!
I've seen the soda and box cake mix as great pantry items you can donate to shelters and food banks so that families can have birthday cakes.
I remember when my friends mom made frosting with karo syrup.
If you had no option it would be alright
How are you not suppose to be excited when Ro post a new video, she just a burst of sunshine.
Agreed
i watvh her when im sick because of that! she makes me smile.
13:55 I didn't even realise this was a "hack" it's just something my mum taught me to do. Put a bit of oil in the measuring cup/spoon swirl it around then put the honey in.
A hack I learnt recently for sticky stuff is to make an imprint of the measuring cup/spoon in your dry ingredients then pour the honey into the dent. It works but I prefer the oil method.
Into the DENT. PERFECT! that's one of those things that never occurs to you and then it couldn't be more logical.
Just warm up the spoon first with hot water
Cake mix cookies - red velvet with vanilla chips !!!
love busting baking myths Thanks for always uploading on Saturday’s!!! kindness!! Love you Rosanna!!!! ❤
I love how you always have so much energy in your videos there is never a moment where you arent smiling and you never fail to cheer people up ! These videos r great and soooo entertaining , keep up the good work ! 🦄
When I was a teenager, my Mom found a recipe for taking boxed cake mix and diet soda to make cupcakes, so good. And they don't sink in.
Diet cream soda and vanilla cake mix is amazing. I only ever made cupcakes, not a whole cake, but it worked really well.
@@lamemechose7072 We did diet Dr. Pepper and Devil's Food Chocolate cake mix. So good. Its like you were making a chocolate cake and a spice cake and you accidentally dropped some spice cake mix into the chocolate batter. So good. Highly recommend. We also used a can not a bottle
The jelo hack work but it needs time for the granules to desolve. Jelo can be used specifically with Philadelphia cream too for healthier cream.
Jell-o not jelo!
@@sonyafox3271 well I’m Australian and we call it jelly. 🤷♀️ I also have a Yugoslav background and it’s spelt Jelo there. Jell-o is a name of a brand and not everyone spells things in American English. You may want to open your mind to the possibility that your not the centre of the universe. 👍
Ro! your videos are amazing and you put so much works into your videos
Thank you so much Ro for these helpful videos! Thank you for taking your time to bring some entertainment :)
If anyone tries the dental floss trick, make sure it’s unscented floss. It’s been said it can be used for soft cheeses too
And as for the honey you only have to put your spoon in a cup of hot water, it’ll dry as soon as you take it out but the heat is retained. The honey will just pour off the spoon! Don’t think I’d want oil on my honey lol…
Years ago I would fill mini muffin tins with chocolate chip cookie dough and after they came out of the oven before they cooled and popped out of the tray, I would lightly push in the middle to make a dent (not all the way to the bottom) and then fill that with chocolate pudding. Sugar cookies could have lemon curd or some sort of preserves. It was great for little desserts at a party.
Now I know true and false myths! I could never try these all out hahaha. Great video!
My Mom taught me that whenever I was using a recipe that called for both oil and honey - to measure out the oil first so that it greases the spoon before I’d go to measure out the honey. Same principle
Omg I love this video. Please do more of these!!!! Love you Ro! Much love! 💕
Honestly I love your videos and I really want to try this stuff. That cupcake and marshmallows one looks SO GOOD! Thank you for always posting on Saturdays, it makes it so much more convenient!
3:43 I actually concur this myth. My mom has a recipe for an m&m cake batter cookie. It’s really delicious
For anyone struggling with seperating eggs do this: Bakeries do that, it's faster.
Put the eggs in a bowl and then use your fingers to take the yellows out.
You won't break them that way and it's 10 times faster than tossing it around from shell to shell or to use a bottle that's even more time consuming.
Thuogh , if u do that its going to be more time consuming because u have to wash ur hands.
@@aliyazuhyra1511 not really, if you’re handling food you should be washing hands regardless
Love the bust the baking myths! Thank you! Saving money for so many people doing this!
Ro, you are such an amazing person. I love you so much. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done, you saved me. ❤️
I Love the Baking Myths and thank you, Ro 💙😍💕
I always loved koolaid icing when I was little! It’s got a nice tart flavor, and it makes the color nice and bright. My grandma use so do it. She and my dad owned a bakery before I was born. It’s been a long time since I had it but now I really want some. It’s super nostalgic for me. Also my family has always added sour cream to boxed cake mixes to make them more moist and yummy.
My grandmother makes the box cake mix cookies, and I'm pretty nostalgic for them :)
I still make cake mix cookies on a regular basis! They’re quick, easy, and I can get so creative with flavors!
Ro, you are the best baker I've ever known and I love watching your videos!♥️
I just wanted to say, that the oreo mug cake recipe actually works cause I've tried it myself before, u just need to make a paste with crushed Oreos and little milk and put it in the microwave. I tried with 5 Oreos and it needs a minute and 20 seconds to completely bake.
Hope this helps!
My aunt whipped up heavy cream until very creamy then addedthe jello powder. It came out amazing. Colors and flavors everything fast and easy. We Used it to decorate a huge long cake we made for about 10 birthdays in March. It was decorated differently for each person. 😊
Another person on here said they used the white chocolate jello w- cream cheese frosting. The homemade one your Aunt makes sounds really good. Does she use the entire box or add anything to the jello before adding it to the whipped heavy cream?
I love how quickly you put this video out!!
ooo i loved this, you baked a lot of things to bust these myths and that’s greatly appreciated
You can also sub out flour in brownies use ground almond . They always turn out fudgy as they don't absorb all of the wet ingredients. And it's gluten free.
Love the reviews and myths videos. 🥰
Loved this. I'm really going to try the marshmallows one since I'm allergic to frosting so every time I want cake I have to get a plan one or non at all.
*Anne Reardon has entered the chat*
Hi Ro! Your videos always make my day! 🤗
Your personality is so fun and you are so pretty. You inspire me to be a better baker. Your the best Ro!
I’m really excited about the boxed cake mix cookies. I live in a small apartment with almost no cupboard space, but I like making cookies. I just don’t have room for all the ingredients all the time for different types. I like the idea of being able to use one box I can get anywhere-and it’s also a multitasker.
I never used jello for buttercream, but I did use it to make a flavored cheesecake. And it actually came out really good. I definitely recommend trying that.
In the south there are actually cakes made as soda flavours: 7UP cake, ginger ale cake etc. They're made with the sodas and TASTE like the sodas. It's not just to "make the cake more moist and flavorful".
I love the myth busting videos!
Brownies😍 I was just looking at an article on how brownies come out by changing one ingredient like butter, oil, or shortening. Or depending on a metal or glass pan. As well as cooking temp. It was amazing to see the differences.
tysm for posting! I love ur videos!
I love this girl she is my favorite youtuber I watch her all the time and she puts a smile on my face
Mayonnaise has some vinegar in it that may react with the baking powder/soda in a cake mix and throw off the lift in the cake, but it works perfectly to add velvety texture to cake. Depending on the brand it might be saltier or sweeter, just adjust sugar and salt.
Omg I have been watching your vids for so long I love them so much!
This is great seeing you bust these myths and hacks. I've heard the koolaid one before especially when you are trying to make red frosting to use a red koolaid like cherry to get a base colour then add food colouring to bump it up to red, otherwise it case take so much food colouring to make red and not pink frosting that it doesn't taste good.
A tool I highly recommend for measuring sticky ingredients: there is a measuring cup for this that has a plunger bottom inside a cylinder. You adjust it to the measurement you want then once filled push up the bottom and just scrape off the flat surface to get all your ingredient. It's great for not only things like honey but also peanut butter.
The soda and cake mix trick was something my dad used when he made cobbler.
He'd put a bunch of fresh fruit (usually blackberry as his favorite) and then pour the cake mix followed by the soda.
The texture might not be great for a full cake, but it's wonderful with a cobbler
Sounds getter than the cobbler I just made
I'm the video when Ro put jello in frosting it reminded me of when my mum put jello mix in cake batter to add colour and flavour and it turned out so good!
Love you so much rosanna! You made my day
This is such a fun video. Thank you Rosanna
Use half a cup of unsalted butter/margarine and not oil, and then refrigerated the dough for a few hours and they don’t spread so much ❤
My favourite type to make is red velvet with white chocolate chips, that i roll in something called ‘red velvet dust’ (basically red coloured sugar) gives the cookies a lovely crunch and makes looks shimmering rubies
bake them for 10 mins at 180 c oven 🎉
I don't do mayo, but I add applesauce instead of oil to cake. It's so moist and fluffy, and I haven't used oil in cake in years.
Wow Ro you're as sunny as always! I used to watch your videos all the time. I'm not sure why I stopped, but I'm glad you ended up in my recommendations tonight.
I was hoping this video did not end I learned a few things and some I knew already thanks for sharing 👍🏼 .
I add a tablespoon of mayo to my cake mix and still add the oil and the cakes come out great! I also add a box of instant pudding
When I do the cheater way out, and make cake from a box, I usually get rid of the water and substitute it for milk. But make sure that you are measuring the milk with how much water it is calling for. Instead of the veggie oil, I melt the same amount butter as veggie oil, and with the eggs, I add in another one, just to make the cake a bit fluffier. I also add in about 3 tablespoons of mayo or sour cream, and a splash of vanilla, the cake turns out so yummy! My husband isn’t a big cake fan, but when I started making the box cake mix like this, he can’t get enough of them🤤. I highly recommend giving it a try🤠!
this was such an enjoyable video to watch!
This is my first video of yours and I just love your personality! Definitely subscribed and look forward to watching all of your vids 😁👍
I have used the strawberry jello with cream cheese frosting but not nearly that much! Doesn’t come out gritty
A little bit (like two tablespoons) of vanilla pudding in your whipped cream makes a great frosting.
I'm glad to see that you are well and healthy 💙💙
Hey Rosanna I love your videos so much and you inspired me to start baking could you make a video on your favourite baking recipes❤️🌸
When I was a kid, there was a "church lady" where we attended services. She would make 7up cake for potluck Sundays especially because she knew I loved it. She passed before I got the recipe. I tried the whole adding soda thing, but I still haven't found a method that tastes like hers did.........
the mug cake from the other video is actually so yummy! just only fill the milk up to half of the oreos not half of the glass🥰
I really loved this video! Could you do a part 2 or another video related to baking?
I love all you videos Ro, you one of my favorite UA-camrs
I use the 7-up one with cupcakes. I use a white cake mix and use 7UP, then seperate them to make rainbow/tie dye cupcakes. I dont know why but the 7up mix has much more vibrant colors than the usual oil/egg/water method plus food color. I supsect its cause the 7up is essentially a clear product, ala clear vanilla.
Maybe combine that with kool aid icing?
I made one with apple soda and vanilla cake mix. When I used creme cheese frosting and caramelized apples
I have been doing the soda to cakes for years. She failed because she is rushing.
I always use the cake and soda and it works better with less liquid. I have always had very good luck.
I once made cake frosting with avocado for someone who couldn’t do dairy or shortening due to allergies. It was actually really good, and made for a pretty green frosting!
Omg I tried the cake powder to cookie one and it was AMAZING thank you for doing this video
Love the cake mix with the oil and eggs we used devils food cake mix and we got some cheese cream icing and put it in between two cookies and called them “Oreos” they were delicious! But didn’t taste like Oreos even though we called them that 😂
I wonder if the soda cakes would be the perfect mixture for cake pops 🤔 since it's so moist, you could avoid adding icing into the mix ?
It’s definitely gonna taste amazing
A pop cake pop!
IDK. If the cake is too moist, it will not be able to hold its shape as well.
But why would you want to avoid adding icing in, the icing makes them taste better
@@crossover5606 it would be a good way for diabetics to avoid more sugar and carbs. Use a zero sugar soda, sugar free cake mix.
im so glad i found this channel again
We have made the box cake mix with a can of pop for years. Works every time with the kind we use. Duncan heinz vanilla/white cake and 7-up/sprite works great! You can make the yellow cake with the same soda. For dark cakes it’s recommended to use a dark soda, and you can use white cake mix with many flavours. Makes a super moist and fluffy, light cake that literally melts in your mouth. It’s sooo good! And quick and easy. It does depend on if you like the texture or not. I love it! The different cake mixes may also work differently from brand to brand, and flavour to flavour.
Love this series ❤️ I've been wondering about some of these but have never tested them except the Jell-O one although I used the pudding mix half the box and its so good (used pistachio)
Oh! for my ants birthday a few weeks go she had a cake flavored with pistachio pudding mix. I agree with you- It is SO GOOD!
my class made cake mix cookies in home economics once. They turned out great for the most part, but one group got angel's food cake and it did *not* work that well. I still make them all the time, my family loves them :D
That makes me think of all the fun we had in Home Ec. A really great class that I feel ALL schools should still have.
Oof. Yeah, the quintessential parts of Angel food cake are that, as a foam cake, it doesn’t use leaving agents and it doesn’t use fats. So I imagine the oil and egg yolks from the hack would ruin it pretty quick😅
Regarding turning cake mix into cookies, many times I have used a recipe from a Betty Crocker cookie book from the early 1980s that calls for cake mix and crispy rice cereal.
And as for using Jell-O to flavor, I have used Jell-O instant PUDDING mix to flavor both frostings AND cakes. It's practically a necessity to get the pistachio layer for my spumoni cake.
this helped me a lot with my baking.Thank you for this vidieo
Personally, I've used the dental floss hack to level a cake and the cut was super clean. I think it depends on the density of your cake. 🤔 love the video though 👌
Food myth videos are always fun! You’re right about the mayonnaise in the cake! It doesn’t really affect the taste, but my mom and grandma like to add mayonnaise or even sour cream for a more rich and moist cake.
The box cake mix one, I made a batch ,vanilla, just last month for Christmas for the first time and LOVED it, yum!
Love from India ❣️
