you know what really goes well with a
0:01
cup of cowboy coffee a homemade coffee
0:04
cake with a brown sugar crumble and so
0:07
easy to
0:17
make woo thank y'all so much for taking
0:20
time out of your busy day to watch this
0:22
video we are honored and we are proud we
0:24
are and we are talking about something
0:26
that I love to eat as a snack as
0:29
breakfast as lunch as dinner even right
0:31
before I go to bed what is it coffee
0:34
cake you don't got to have it with
0:36
coffee you can have it with anything in
0:38
the world but hey check out this new set
0:40
location that we have built in the other
0:42
episode we asked you what should we add
0:45
to this maybe hang some skillets maybe
0:47
build some shelves y'all let us know
0:49
what you think cuz we'd be honored we
0:51
would but today is not much about this
0:53
as it is about what coffee cake and I'm
0:56
hungry say you go to Starbucks and y'all
0:59
think I have been to Starbucks i do i'm
1:01
gonna tell you two things you didn't
1:03
know one I get a caramel ribbon crunch
1:06
woo they are so good in the summertime
1:08
winter time and then I get a coffee cake
1:11
that is what is the best you don't like
1:12
the coffee really no I don't like the
1:14
coffee no they burn their coffee and
1:16
then they sell it so I'm just going to
1:18
stick to cowboy coffee but first thing
1:20
we got to do is make that crumble that
1:22
goes on top that very topping but folks
1:25
when you see that you get that cinnam
1:27
sugary goodness that's there with it
1:29
first thing we're going to do is we're
1:30
going to put it in our brand new Yeti
1:32
bowls hey these things are really nice
1:34
come in all sizes they do they got a
1:36
good lid on them so if you want to mix
1:38
something in there take it to a party
1:40
store it hey you are good to go it's
1:42
going to stay in there so the first
1:44
thing we're going to add to this is a
1:45
cup of flour allpurpose that is get that
1:49
in there next
1:52
comes 34 of a cup of packed light brown
1:57
sugar now it's pretty cool out here
1:59
today so I'm going to go ahead and
2:00
crumble this up with my hands a little
2:02
make sure that there wasn't no pieces
2:03
that are rock hard cuz when it setits
2:05
out here for a little bit some of that
2:07
will get hard it will so the next thing
2:09
that goes in is a/ a teaspoon of salt
2:12
then we're going to use 3 teaspoon of
2:14
ground cinnamon now this happens to me a
2:17
lot i just open this in ain't paying
2:19
attention you get a whole lot more than
2:20
three teaspoons so you make sure that
2:23
you got this side but also look at it
2:25
make sure it doesn't say cumin because
2:26
it don't really go well together so
2:28
about Have you done that before i have
2:30
in chili and in cakes we're going to
2:32
give it in here to
2:35
it and you always want to make this
2:37
first so when you get the cake ready
2:39
you'll have it to put in the
2:41
middle what do we got here the magical
2:44
ingredient Kerry Gold butter and they
2:46
ain't paying me to say it but anything
2:49
that has a stick and a half of butter
2:50
you have to have at least a stick of
2:52
butter in any kind of dessert or pastry
2:54
I think to make it worthy so we got
2:57
plenty of butter
3:00
here we got really good help today lou
3:03
is on perimeter patrol she's making sure
3:06
that nobody comes up here and gets none
3:08
of our stuff so we're just going to sort
3:10
of cube this up a little to where we can
3:12
get it in here and then if you've got a
3:15
pastry cutter you use one but I'm going
3:18
to stick with this big old fork that I
3:20
got we'll put that other half a stick in
3:23
there this needs to be chilled butter
3:25
not just soften softened butter and when
3:28
we're cutting this in there we're not
3:29
really going to get it like a cracker
3:30
crumb consistency that you've seen me do
3:33
so many times on pie crust we want to
3:35
leave them little hunks chunks of butter
3:37
in there with that brown sugar that's
3:38
going to make that crumble what is
3:40
really good so bear with me while I get
3:42
started i knew I should have done this
3:44
before we started i need some upper arm
3:46
strength to cut this butter in so we're
3:49
going to get over
3:55
here folks it's very important that you
3:58
do your butter yoga before you start
4:01
this process you won't get near as tired
4:19
i would say we got that in pretty good
4:21
shape you can see them big crumbles
4:24
that's in there that's what's really
4:25
going to look good right there on top
4:27
and when that cooks down you get that
4:29
good taste but you get a little bit of
4:31
that crunch to go with it but we're
4:33
going to move that aside it's time to
4:34
mix up the batter
4:41
you know what my favorite part of this
4:43
recipe
4:45
is yeah homemade box cake that's what
4:48
I'm talking about now folks we're going
4:50
to add some stuff to it we're going to
4:52
jazz it up a little but this is not
4:54
cheating you know how many times on a
4:56
ranch when I'd be gone four and five
4:58
weeks and I'd have all kinds of cake
5:00
mixes in there because I used them to
5:02
make a cake but I made it better turn
5:04
this thing around look at them little
5:06
ingredients right here and make sure
5:08
that you pick them up also because your
5:10
cake mix may differ a little than what
5:12
I'm buying right here in New Mexico but
5:14
I think we need to get this batter put
5:16
together we going to dump this in
5:21
there half a cup of vegetable oil this
5:24
one called for three eggs half a cup of
5:27
vegetable
5:28
oil and a cup of water is that right Lou
5:32
was it a cup oh Duke was it a cup no it
5:36
wasn't two cups it was one so we going
5:40
to get that in
5:43
there you know one major convenience of
5:46
not cooking on the
5:48
wagon electricity ben Franklin has wired
5:52
me up today and due to this good
5:54
cabinetry making that I have made we
5:57
have a mixer that's fancy the power tool
6:01
is in the wagon in a trailer
6:04
so we're going to see if we can find
6:07
some beers that went with
6:10
that now if I can figure
6:15
out cuz I I'll be afraid them things
6:18
come out and run
6:20
off so bear with me folks
6:33
i'm liking this indoor outdoor cooking
6:35
we're going to add to that two teaspoons
6:37
of
6:39
vanilla a little dab of cinnamon
6:57
this is something you won't see me do
7:00
very often and that is what cook in a
7:03
casserole dish now folks I want to tell
7:06
you all our recipes are converted from
7:09
Dutch oven cooking to inside cooking and
7:12
vice versa but you go and you click on
7:14
our website go to recipes all them
7:16
recipes are free they're all converted
7:18
for you to cook in the house cuz may not
7:20
be all of you cooking outside so the
7:22
reason I am cooking in this is we are
7:25
under a burn ban we ain't had no rain
7:27
out here a channel pan out there and
7:29
look in that forest you will see how dry
7:31
it is folks I ask you to please pray for
7:34
rain for this old country because I'm
7:36
not asking for the benefit of us but I'm
7:38
asking for it to green up the way God
7:40
made it to where it would be so
7:41
beautiful that's the reason we're going
7:43
to have to cook this in the house today
7:45
so 9 by13 grease pan trickiest part of
7:49
the whole recipe trying to get half of
7:52
this batter in here because we need half
7:54
on the bottom
7:58
and I would say we might be close i'm
8:02
going to get Shan's opinion up here in
8:04
just a minute want to get this around
8:06
here on the bottom
8:09
looking good i will tell you I ate a
8:12
coffee cake many years ago one of the
8:13
first I had that had a little nutmeg in
8:16
it too so if you want to change that up
8:18
you ain't going to hurt my feelings you
8:20
also add pecans yes I have put pecans in
8:22
it before too so we're just going to go
8:25
to sprinkling this around
8:27
here when you cut a coffee cake this is
8:30
the spot you see in the middle that's
8:32
got that cinnamon sort of swirl to it
8:36
that's the part I always look for so let
8:39
me get this all in there make sure
8:41
everybody's got some so I want to tell
8:43
you you don't want to mess up this
8:45
crumble and you just want to drizzle
8:47
back and forth back and forth back and
8:48
forth till you get it all covered and
8:50
then if you need to smooth it out a
8:52
little you can but that way you're not
8:53
disrupting that little layer of goodness
8:55
we got there so we're going to see how
8:57
good my drizzling part is here
9:16
i have got my concrete expertise tri
9:19
work on there and I have smoothed it out
9:21
to where it is smoother than a baby's
9:22
butt i mean it is good preheat that oven
9:25
to
9:26
350° slide her in there going to cook it
9:29
for 15 minutes just so you see them
9:31
edges begin to sit up really well then
9:33
what guess what next comes the crumble
9:35
we're going to sprink it all over the
9:36
top bake it for another 15 to 20 minutes
9:39
i like to always put a toothpick in all
9:41
my cakes I cook to make sure they're
9:43
done but you're going to see it folks
9:44
that crumble is going to be oh so good
9:47
let's get it in the oven cuz the pups
9:48
and me are ready for some coffee cake
10:40
now always here on TV this was filmed
10:42
before a live studio audience well our
10:45
audience has passed out and took a nap i
10:48
think coffee cake will really do them
10:50
some good maybe just the coffee but
10:52
isn't that pretty now sure I could have
10:54
cooked that in a Dutch oven same results
10:56
and all but it's it's nice to cook it in
10:58
the house bring it out here i'm going to
11:00
have me a bite i can tell there is this
11:03
crust right here on
11:05
top you can see that right there
11:16
now why don't you tell the honest story
11:20
about how many coffee cakes you made
11:23
before we got to this one well I come in
11:26
one day and we allowed we was going to
11:28
do a coffee cake video so I done done me
11:31
some research changed up things a little
11:33
added heavy cream instead of milk used
11:35
sour cream in one of them i made two
11:38
shan made one now we've made another so
11:42
that's four coffee cakes and who's was
11:44
the winner this one is the winner i
11:46
guarantee you there's so much moisture i
11:48
think that's really brought it back to
11:50
the yellow cake mix the way it starts
11:53
out i think that's where you get that
11:55
this is a very easy recipe like I say
11:58
you can make it for morning time you can
12:00
make it for brunch you can have it for
12:02
dessert at night take it to the church
