Becky, you have become like a best friend to me I want to thank you for that. I have overcome stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to my liver, I have undergone 3 major surgeries and 6 months of chemo....The anxiety of it all is so overwhelming but whenever I feel like I need an uplift or a smile on my face I turn on your videos and I feel like I have a friend in you to keep me company and get me through my day. I've made many of your recipes but my favorite of all time is the garlic pucks!! I have not peeled a clove of garlic in months haha I literally use them all the time ....... love love love it I'm going to do it with onions next! Thank you for being you you're very appreciated! Xoxoxoxo
I am so sorry you have had to go through all this. Cancer is such a horrible thing to have to fight against but, I know you will win. You have to be such strong willed person to have endued all that you have. I am praying for a complete recovery for you. May God heal you and bless you with peace and a happiness. God bless you.🙏❤🙏
@@phylliscurtner5578 thank you so much for your kind words. Yes it was a rough road especially after my diagnosis. My mom was diagnosed two months later with pancreatic cancer. We fought and fought together, but she did not make it to the finish line with me. I will celebrate two yearscancer free on June 24. I lost her a year and a half ago on September 23 but I thank you for your prayers. Every little prayer counts. I am 56 years old and have two beautiful little granddaughters that I would like to stick around for! God bless you.
Congratulations on beating cancer! I pray you stay cancer free and have a happy healthy life!
Best of luck and health to you. Love the puck idea too. made some tomato paste pucks😊 and have loved having them on hand
I'm so sorry for all of the pain you've had to endure. I'm glad you beat cancer! I pray you have healthy and happy days ahead of you! ❤
Helpful tip from a baker. Crumb coat your cakes for a smoother finish. Instead of putting all your frosting on at one time, stack your layers like normal and do a thin coat around the entire cake of frosting, so thin there will be parts you can see the cake through the frosting layer, the refrigerate for like 10-15 minutes. This will also help 'set' your cake so it doesnt jiggle or move so much. This helps hold all your crumbs in place and makes your final frosting layer easier to manage so you don't have globs falling off like you ran into a few times and makes the process less overwhelming once you're use to it. Love the rustic looks too though.
Hi Becky!! You can bake your bananas in the oven at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes and that will ripen the bananas and bring out all that yummy sweetness!
Interesting and ya I can see that. I'll have to try it. Ty.
Another tip. When you put your springform pan together, turn the bottom over so that the ridge faces down. It seals fine and makes the bottom of the pan flat. I find it easier to slide the cake off the flat bottom. Thanks as always for your hard work
I think she had done this once before
Another banana tip. If one or two bananas get over ripe,peel them,put them in a ziplock bag,smoosh them flat,seal the bag,mark the ingredients/date and freeze. Then when you want a banana nut bread,or banana cake…. You have the bananas ready to thaw.
Thank you
Hey! My mom made pies at Burton's Cafe in Whittington Il for years. A trick for pie crust shells is to put crust on upside down pie pan. Bake, cool, then place in a clean pan.😊
Oh wow, I’m not a baker and I don’t think I would have thought of that! My husband REALLY wants me to make a coconut cream pie so I guess I’ll learn to bake a few things 😃
That is an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing with us. 🫶🏻
how do you flute it that way?
@@jmrcnslt You cant. Sorry.
Oh my goodness! My aunt made a hummingbird cake once probably 20 years ago, and when I asked her to make it for my birthday next year neither of us could remember what it was called and she couldn't figure out where she got the recipe from, so we forgot about it and never had it again! I just called her to let her know I found it and she was so excited. We are making one this weekend! 🤩
The actual recipe is from southern living magazine, it’s available online everywhere, and it differs in several key aspects from what you see here. For one thing, you don't purée the bananas, you chop them. They should not be overripe or soft because this is a fruitcake and you want the pieces of fruit to retain some presence. That’s not the only difference, but it is, as she says, a banana cake with pineapple, and not a hummingbird cake. I’d also suggest to any baker to measure how much their cake pans hold and keep that info handy. There is no way this cake would ever fit in two cake pans. I often use two 13x9s for one batch.
Oh,wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. @@cindydale3695
That is a great story!❤
This is incredible! I love that I could help!
Some call it Preachers cake.
I loved making humming bird cake with my great great grandmother. We would add carrots to ours and white raisins, which makes me miss her. She passed at 110, and when we made this cake, she was like 96 years young, and would say that's what keeps her young is humming bird cake!! She had 10 kids, 60 grandchildren, and 100 great grandchildren when she passed now. Some of the numbers have gone up ( I believe that's what kept her young)
There are always so many good tips in the comments… love this community Becky has grown. I learn from Becky and then get even more tips as I read the comments after the video. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. Thanks again for everything Becky.
This hummingbird cake is originally from the 1982 Southern Living cookbook. It’s a favorite of our family
The pineapple flowers were so beautiful! They reminded me of hibiscus flowers 😊
That’s exactly what I thought 😊
HOW CUTE are those pineapple flowers?!!
As you all have pointed out there are many varieties of hummingbird cake recipes. Thank you Becky for showing us yours!
Hi Becky, I don’t comment very often. I just want you know that I love your channel and I watch every single one of your videos when they come out and I really enjoy the fact that here is a beautiful young person Doing all the things that you do. I’m hoping that you find a way to cope with any anxiety that goes on. I know I’ve suffered from anxiety all my life and my work life. So just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing great!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I meant to tell you I had some onions that were trying to go to seed. I only had one that wasn’t. So I pulled them all out. I cleaned them all up & puréed them and I put them in ice cube trays instead of pucks, anyway, I even use a little bit of the green part so they’re like a greenish yellow color because the onions were a yellow onion. But I’ve done the garlic but not in pucks so I made patties. Keep on teaching this old lady lots of stuff. Thank you! You’re the best!
💕💕💕
Thanks so much for all your support! Means the world to me to have you here :)
Try taking the pie crust out of your fridge 30 minutes before you roll it out. The reason your pie crust is splitting, cracking on edges, could be it is too cold. 😊❤
I would have used a toothpick and put a cherry in the middle of each pineapple to look like a poppy. The toothpick would help hold the flowers.
Hi Becky. I live in the deep south and have had several variations of hummingbird cake. Some have coconut and some do not. To form your pineapple flowers, when you take them out of the dehydrator push them down into muffin tins to form the flower cup. You can weigh them down with baking beads if necessary. Also I buy overripe bananas when they go on sale and peel them and freeze in zip lock bags. When I need banana for bread or cake I just thaw he necessary amount.
I actually love the pineapple flowers on the side! Looks so pretty!
An old tip from America's Test Kitchen is to bake your bananas, in the peel, in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes to prepare them for baking cakes and breads. It works very well and greatly improves the flavor.
thanks for the tip!
thanks for the tip ...was wondering if it was peeled or not.
I'm going to have to try that.
What temperature?
@vl1347, probably around 350
Another idea for the coconut cream pie would be to use the egg whites that are left over from the custard and make a meringue for the top. My grandpa used to love the coconut cream pie from Marie Callender's and would always special order one with meringue on top instead of the whipped cream and it was delicious
I can’t imagine a coconut cream pie without the meringue 😂
Becky, you are such a breath of fresh air! Please don't ever change and always stay the same sweet person that you are. Your videos are so well done - it seems like we just popped over from the neighborhood to watch you cook or garden.
I was waiting on you to sprinkle the pecans on top of the cake. They all look delicious.
A tip I learned in a cake decorating class is to keep you spreading tool in a glass of water. It makes it easier to spread the frosting. You just lift out the utensil and shake it off a bit before frosting.❤
To make cake frosting smoother, get a glass or jar tall enough for your metal spatula and add very hot tap water. Allow your spatula to sit in that water until the spatula is hot. You can just tap off the water or wipe it with a paper towel each time. Works best with a metal spatula or a butterknife.
Neat--thanks!
The cake with the pineapple flowers is beautiful. All the desserts look so yummy.
I LOVE hummingbird cake! I ordered it all the time when I lived in Alabama; when I moved to Texas, I couldn't find anyone who made it. Now I can just make it myself! Thank you!!!!
9:43 You could make a meringue with the egg whites, instead of whipped cream 😊
You are pushing this content out girl. Let’s get to 1 million subs 🎉
She's doing well, isn't she? I remember joining when she was just hitting 100k. She's just done so well, and deserves every success.
Oh my goodness, Becky! They all look amazing but the hummingbird cake takes it all!
Hummingbird cake has been served at B&B s in Virginia made inbundt pan, served warm with whipped cream!!! AMAZING
Use the cloth rings that you wet and put around your cake pans. They don't overcook or get too brown
In future, use the tines of a fork to release the batter stuck on your whisk metal tines. Start at the top and move the fork down as far as you can go. The rest could be helped off with a butter knife. 😊❤
I am amazed at the way you work, everything is organized, and you make it look so easy. Your kitchen is beautiful. I must admit, I’m a bit jealous!
I love hummingbird cake!
Wow! Have never seen the pineapple flowers before! Gorgeous and edible too! Love your channel and your family. Blessings
Those look like something you’d find at a quaint little bakery… How wonderful! 🥰
I love Hummingbird Cake and the dehydrated pineapple flowers were adorable. I love that idea.
Oh my goodness. Yummy spring time treats. Beautiful, just like you! Hint for success: use a metal 1/2 cup measure that you sprayed the bottom with non-stick spray to press the lemon cake base into your spring form pan. Easy peasy!
Oh my, Becky, you have perfect timing for me today. I happen to have fresh lemons that need to be used AND ripe bananas on my counter. Yummmmm ❤ Thank you!
I was sitting here waiting for your happy company 😊Friday night here in Denmark.
Hello Anette from Denmark! 😃 What Danish or Euro YT channels do you watch? I'm always looking for something new - you'd think the YT algorithm would solve the problem, but it just suggests the same old, same old.
My absolute favourite dessert is my Mother’s coconut cream pie. I have such fond memories of her cooking the pudding on the stove in a double boiler😊. She topped it with meringue and then baked it for a short time in the oven. We also ate it slightly warm🥰. Beautiful baking today…Bravo❤️
Becky...you did an amazing job on your desserts. My favorite is the hummingbird cake. You always are so happy and joyful in everyday you do. Its contagious. Blessings to you and your family.
If you were participating in a progressive dinner(appetizers at one home, main meal at another, dessert at final home with coffee or tea), yours would be the yummy with those awsome desserts! 😊❤
Love seeing them Doggos in the kitchen mooching for nibbles of deliciousness ❤
So happy to see you today!!
Hummingbird cake is SOOOO good.
My trip to Portland is planned for June 17th. I’m putting my family on notice! We are going right from PDX to the restaurant you mentioned! Treats and fries. I’m in!
Thank You Becky for being You and for All the cooking and gardening that is being Done just so Our Lives can be a bit easier! The KY Wildcat Nation Loves You!! As Always Blessings and Prayers to You and Your Family! Terri and David
The pineapple flowers are very nice, who woulda think? Genius. All of the deserts look so good.
Beautiful presentation. Thanks Becky for sharing with us.
I'll take a slice of each please. Becky you absolutely have the touch. Thank you for sharing.
Me too!😂❤
Yay! My birthday is tomorrow and I’ve been on Pinterest all morning looking for something new I can make my kids try instead of your typical kids cake ❤
Happy early birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday🎉
Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday 🎂
Thank you my Becky loving friends haha ❤
Lemon cake is my favorite! I have it every year on my birthday!
These look awesome. Would love every one.. Have never had hummingbird cake. I recall it being on a local diner menu. My husband jokingly told the waitress he couldn't order thatbecaus he felt too sorry for the hummingbirds. 😊 Thanks for sharing. I find myself sitting here smiling as I watch your videos.
They all look delicious! The pineapple cake is BEAUTIFUL ❤
Just a tip - keeping your vanilla cap off it in your drawer isn't the best idea - because of the high alcohol content, it can evaporate pretty fast. Also, if you had just made the 2 layers of cake, you could have used the excess batter to make muffins/cupcakes. They would freeze really well.
I'm sure it is just off during the filming to make it easier and faster. She is not stupid.
@@denisejones1863I don’t think anyone called Becky stupid. Sometimes what is obvious to one person isn’t obvious to another. This channel is all about helpful tips to and from Becky so I don’t think any harm was intended! I watch Becky because she is unapologetically herself and I think we all can admit that sometimes that means she doesn’t do things the easiest way. 😂
I would like a bite or 2 of all 3 desserts 😂 They're all lovely!
Wow, another great video that makes me want to get in the kitchen and bake! The pineapple flowers are beautiful. Everything that you made looks beautiful! Whenever I make something that I have never made before, you are one of my inspirations. Whenever I feel a lack of confidence, I will remind myself that since Becky can do it, I can too!
Those are beautiful spring/summer desserts 😋
Becky, all of them came out beautiful ❤
The pineapple flowers looked great. Also just wanted to say that whatever eyeshadow or eyeliner you have on it is lovely - natural but with a lovely highlight.
Becky, you make this look so easy.
Those pineapple 🍍flowers looked so beautiful and they’re eatable. All three look so yummy. Thanks for sharing these recipes with us Becky.
Beky merci a vous pour toutes ces recettes et le jardinage 💋💝
OOOO, the lemon cake would be my pick. Love lemon! Thanks for bringing us with you today.
Hummingbird cake is a favorite for birthdays at our house. I add coconut on the top after I ice the cake. YUM!!
I am learning so many tips and tricks about cooking and baking from you. 😊 ❤ Watching you multitask and overcoming obstacles with confidence. You truly can't be stopped. What a terrific legacy your creating for your family. 28:06
Those pineapple flowers were so lovely
I make hummingbird cake in a 9x13 pan. Easier to frost & serve. Everyone loved it.
I just made some lemon poppy seed cupcakes, which I’ve never had before, with some blackberry filling and frosting on some and raspberry filling and frosting on the others. It came out super amazing!
Omgoodness...that pineapple cake looks exquisite!! And you just know how good that lemon cake is! Of course, my favorite pie is coconut cream. 🥥 for the win. You can't go wrong with any of these. I miss the taste testing and seeing your expressive eyes tell me how good they are! Love you Becky and the Acre Homestead family! Including you and Josh's parents.
Ohhh Becky. Three of my favorite flavors ! How did you know?!?! lol. Can’t wait to bake .have a wonderful week blessed rested and joyful dear.
Suggestion: freeze your lemon juice in little "pucks" by using a small ice cube tray. You could even freeze them into measured sizes. Enjoyed the video! P.S. hope you are sending your helpful neighbors cake pan back with a little taste of one of those delicious looking treats.😊
Well done Becky all your baking looks beautiful and that hummingbird cake looks genius 😋🥰
Loved watching all 3 of those beautiful desserts! Coconut custard pie and coconut cake was my father’s favorite desserts! You made me think of him today 😊. Thanks
❤
What a great idea with the pineapple. I love it!
Hi Becky, wow all three look absolutely delicious. Coconut cream pie is my favorite. You do such a good job on everything you do. Thanks for sharing.
Helpful hints: an offset spatula dipped in water will give a smooth consistency in spreading your frosting. also baking your cakes in advance and freezing them before frosting also helps for a nice frosting consistency. I do understand you were going for more of a rustic look, but thought you would like these hints for another time. all given in the spirit of love
Thank you Becky for explaining half and half as I live in the UK and I’ve never heard of it here x
Becky, you were always a pleasure to watch no matter what you are doing. I have quite a bit from you. ❤
Awesome. Thank you. Blessings
Your desserts turned out beautifully, Becky I just love the idea of the pineapple flowers. I love baking and you’ve given me some great ideas. Thank you.
YUM AND BEAUTIFUL TOO!!!
Everything looks delicious! Well done Becky!😊
Those desserts look amazing.
All three look delicious! I'm gonna try the lemon cake first, and then the hummingbird cake. Pineapple and bananas, a delicious combination, can't wait to try them together.
You are an amazing teacher ❤. I love how you go step by step while showing us all what you are doing !
Another choice for the extra layer of the hummingbird cake is to make cupcakes with the extra batter. You could save these for a snack or a gift for someone speciia.l
I stumbled across your videos recently, and I’m hooked! Love your energy and down to earth approach. I feel like I’ve met a new friend! Keep cooking!
My grandmother always made hummingbird cake for holiday gatherings....sooooo good!!
These desserts look delicious 😁I will definitely give them a try:) I love how you decorated the hummingbird cake with pineapple🍍
Becky, I give you props with using the small spatula. I only own regular size spatulas. Although have thought of getting the small ones for scraping out the last bit of the mustard, mayonnaise, etc. 😊❤
Thank you Becky for all you have contributed to my repertoire of cooking. I step out of my comfort zone all the time now. Thank you for sharing these delicious looking recipes.
🌺 Aloha Becky, I’m looking forward on making the last one first. ☺️ Thank you for this vlog! 🥰
So glad your hummingbird cake didn't have coconut in it allergic. I'm going to make it for sure!!!
Hummingbird cake is very good. Have a blessed day and much love 💖✝️
Those pineapple slices are just adorable. Husband has been asking for coconut cream or banana cream pie so perfect timing
Yay! A Becky video! 🎉 Do you think you and Josh can add a link to your whole Amazon storefront to all of the video descriptions?😊 It's hard to find on Amazon, and there are alot of fake others using your name.
Beautiful cake! Pineapple flowers are amazing. I thought they were flowers when I first seen them. Beautiful!
Hi Becky! All the cakes look just so jummy. Thank‘s for sharing! You are great!!!
Hi Becky...use your dough cutter to evenly cover the side of your cake...it works beautifully. You just turn your dish while holding the cutter against the cake..❤
"dough cutter" aka bench scraper. I've seen the professionals do that and it looks so easy, but I know I would make a mess of it!
Yeah new Becky video! As my bagels are resting I can watch some new desserts. Yumm
Cool that you made the bagels! What kind?❤
When you have gaps between your layers, it's much easier to fill them in with some of the frosting in a piping bag or a gallon zip lock with an end cut off. Just squeeze/smush it into the gaps. Beautiful cake!
