00:00Welcome to the farm. I'm standing here in my butler's pantry in this extension off of the

00:15main kitchen. This is like my favorite spot to play, to create, and to bake something fresh.

00:22When we first bought the farm, this was our living room. Then it turned into Cruz Nursery,

00:28and then his toddler room. And this year, Drake went off to college, so there was an empty bunk,

00:34and crew begged to bunk with Duke. And so we had this space turned into this place where I could

00:42create and be inspired and just kind of have a little fun. When we're in this space, it can be

00:49a little more casual, and I'm excited about sharing comfort foods that I've always loved to whip up,

00:53whether that be something sweet, something savory, just quicker comfort recipes that I've always

01:00loved to make for my family. Some recipes I may even experiment with, and we can just figure it out

01:06together. I've always had this rule, you know, since we were newlyweds that there always has to be

01:19something on that cake plate on the island. And so today I'm going to be filling that cake plate

01:23with a cinnamon pecan bundt cake that I love to make. It's like a butter cake with this delicious

01:29pecan cinnamon brown sugar filling. Another recipe that my kids love, their mama's afterschool

01:37banana bread. It's this perfect blend of flavors and textures. It can be dessert. It can be breakfast.

01:44It can also be a wonderful afternoon snack. So here we go. Cinnamon pecan bundt cake. We're going to whip

01:51it up. This is one of my boy's favorite bundt cakes. He asked for it today, but there are just

01:58a million different kinds of bundt cakes. I'll do a chocolate bundt, a lemon, a strawberry,

02:03so many bundt cakes. I just feel like it's like throw everything in, bake it, and it's beautiful. You dust

02:09it with powdered sugar. So I'm a big fan of bundt cakes. So we're going to do two and a half cups of

02:16all-purpose flour. This is kind of a dense cake, and there's a lot of good ingredients. That's why

02:25it's like really filling. It's rich. Tablespoon of baking powder, and then teaspoon baking soda,

02:35brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Kind of like my base filling for any cinnamon roll cake. I also

02:43love to do like a sourdough bread that's this base. It's like my favorite kind of filling. It's like

02:48comfort in a cake. Okay, so I've got my flour mixture, and then I am going to just... Oh, the butter.

02:55Oh, crap. I didn't melt the butter. I'm going to go melt the butter really quick. Okay.

03:05You know what? I'm sorry. I don't actually have to melt it because it's soft. Don't melt the butter.

03:10I'm not going to melt the butter. I forgot. So I've got a stick and a half of softened butter,

03:15sugar. A cup of sugar. Where is the sugar? Oh. I'm in here every day baking. Maybe there's something

03:27that feels like comforting about baked goods. Maybe there's also something about when your kids

03:33really appreciate baked goods. If they can come home to something warm on the island that feels like

03:39home, I love doing that for the kiddos. Let me grab a cup of brown sugar. But I think for those who

03:47love to cook, it really is that idea of it's kind of like Christmas when they grab that cookie off of

03:53that cake plate stand, and they're just like, mom, this is the best. It's like that gift of it's truly

04:00better to give than to receive. Unless I'm on that side of the island, because I do like to eat cookies

04:05too. Okay, so I'm going to start blending the sugar and the softened butter and get that going for

04:11about three minutes. I want this to get light and fluffy. I'm going to get my egg mixture going.

04:18Look how pretty the farm eggs are. What a pretty little palette. You've got some green, some blue.

04:25These are eggs that the kiddos got for me. I love the palette. I'm like, whoo! Three eggs, room temp.

04:32That's a farm fresh egg right there. Look how yellow that is. That's a beautiful egg. So I've got

04:39this and then vanilla. Let me move my ladder real quick. Vanilla, two teaspoons. Okay, so while that

04:50is, I got about a minute left on that, I'm going to whisk these eggs and vanilla. And then I'm actually

04:55going to go ahead and pour the three eggs and the vanilla into this.

05:03Okay, half a cup of milk, cup and a half of sour cream. The sour cream just makes it so moist,

05:11so it's not a dry cake. I'm going to whisk that nice and smooth. And now I'm going to go ahead and

05:21just half at a time. I'm going to do the flour, half of the sour cream, half, half, blend it,

05:27ready to go. So let me do this flour first. Again, this is flour, baking powder, baking soda,

05:33and a little bit of salt. Let that come together. And then a little of the sour cream and milk.

05:41Okay, finish off this flour mixture. Add the remaining sour cream and milk. There's nothing

05:57worse to me than a dry cake. And so I always incorporate yogurt or sour cream. But you don't

06:05want to over mix this. So just let everything get combined. I'm also going to just like scrape the

06:10sides. So just get everything combined where it looks nice and smooth. Okay, it's ready to go.

06:21I've got my bundt pan. I'm going to spray it. Where's the spray? Where did I put that spray for real?

06:30Um, I'll be right back. I've got to spray the pan. Jeez. I think one of my kids misplaced the spray,

06:41but I'm just going to spray this. I like to spray the pan really well because I like to just dump

06:46the bundt after it's baked. Maybe the next one of these will be a little smoother. I will show you

06:55this though. Look at this texture. I mean, it is delicious. So this is really this butter cake

07:03recipe. The last thing, which is the most important part, is the brown sugar, the cinnamon,

07:08and the pecans. So it's three quarter cup crushed pecans. This is kind of the texture that I like.

07:16This is kind of the size I like where you got some bigger pieces, some smaller pieces just for that

07:20texture. Brown sugar. Let me grab the cinnamon. Also need another bowl. So in this bowl,

07:32I'm going to put three quarter cup brown sugar, three quarter cup of the chopped pecans,

07:39and then cinnamon. Making sure that cinnamon. I've got a teaspoon. So this mixture is something that

07:49I put in the middle. It's like a layer. I pour half of the batter into the bundt and then put this

07:55over it, pour the rest of the mixture, and then bake it. And what you'll see is when you cut down

08:02the middle of that bundt, it's just delicious. Just give me a second. I actually want smaller pieces.

08:08Okay. So I've got my bundt pan. I'm going to do half to start.

08:15And make sure you leave enough to cover that filling. So I'm just going to smooth this out a little bit.

08:21And then you pour this whole mixture in.

08:30It doesn't get much better than pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

08:36I kind of like to press it in just a little bit. And then I get the remaining batter and cover all

08:43of that filling. Oops. A little space right there. Everybody look away. Okay. Let me just spread

08:54this around. There's something so beautiful about a bundt cake on a cake plate stand. Okay. So as you

09:02can see, I have covered up all of that filling. Just going to clean off these edges a little bit.

09:08Okay. So this is ready to go. I have the oven set at 350 for about 45 minutes.

09:18So while the bundt cake is baking, I'm going to wash these dishes real quick,

09:23because I actually need all of the stuff for the banana bread recipe I'm about to show you.

09:27And while we've got some time, I also want to show you some projects I'm working on in the Rose Garden.

09:32We have nine dogs here at the farm, but I have one favorite. Bear is my favorite. You're so pretty.

09:52You're so big. So we are in the winter months here at the farm. Some fun things about living

10:00in Texas is your roses are still in bloom because it's a little warmer in Texas. I feel like I get

10:07quite a few flushes of roses throughout the year, but that's not why I brought you here. I'm actually

10:14going to show you what's happening on the inside. Okay. So this is a space where I do all the floral

10:24preserving. Um, this is what I like to call the herbarium. It's like a library of everything that I grow

10:30every season so that as I'm planning for future seasons, I kind of know what I love, what I don't

10:35want to use again. It's just kind of fun to record your seasonal garden, but in a more artsy way.

10:41There's a lot of different ways you can preserve florals, but sometimes just this kind of a rack with

10:47heavy books is what works best. This has been pressed for about three weeks. I categorize them

10:54by type. This is Yarrow. So I'll put this in the Yarrow drawer. This is Gumfrina. So I'll put them,

11:00you know, in their little category. And then the most fun part is doing stuff like this,

11:06making arrangements. This is kind of a way that I like to display what I've grown in the garden every

11:11season, like create like a dried bouquet. There's one other thing I'm checking on. My daughter, Ella,

11:19turned 18 this year and I made her an arrangement. So this is silica gel. Her favorite flower is a rose.

11:28So I did a rose bouquet for her. So these have been in here for about two months. What I love about this

11:36kind of preserving is it's good for things that have a lot of petals. So like dahlias, roses,

11:42because it keeps their shape. This is totally dry, but it looks fresh. And that's what I love about

11:49this kind of preserving. Okay. That cake, I can almost smell it from here and I don't want it to burn.

11:55We got to go get that Bundt cake out.

11:57Okay. So as you can see, the Bundt is ready to go. I actually wanted it to cool before I put it on

12:11the cake plate stand. But the key here is letting this cool for about 30 minutes, because that filling

12:16in the middle, you just want it to set. But look how pretty the Bundt is. I'm actually going to dust

12:22it with some powdered sugar and then it's ready to go. Smells like a holiday. It smells like heaven.

12:31I think one of the keys is like the smaller the space, the scent just fills it. It's like,

12:36you don't need a candle in here. It literally smells like the most delicious cake. And it feels like art.

12:42And if it's a little too dark, the powdered sugar kind of hide any of the blemishes. But it's a nice

12:48thing to add to it to just finish it off. But I want to show you what the inside looks like,

12:54because that's the best part.

13:00Look at that middle part is just like that extra flavor. And this cake is so good. Warm. It's good.

13:09You want to put a little butter on it for breakfast, you know, like a cinnamon roll.

13:12But it's like, it's almost like a cinnamon roll Bundt cake is really how I would describe this.

13:20It's like all the same flavors, but just in a different form and texture.

13:26No matter what side of the cake you're eating, you're going to get a little hit of that pecan and

13:30that brown sugar and that cinnamon. I can't wait for you to try this at home.

13:35I'm going to clean all this up because I want to show you another recipe that my kids love.

13:40They actually get home from school in about two hours. So I want to make sure

13:43that when they walk in the house, they smell their favorite, which is

13:46their mama's afterschool banana bread.

13:57I like to call this afterschool banana bread because I like to time this to where if I know

14:02my kiddos are coming home around 430 and I get to whip this up so that the house smells

14:06like banana bread, nothing says welcome home better than that.

14:13So a staple in the Gaines household, overly ripe bananas. We always keep our bananas because the

14:20kiddos love banana bread. And this is a recipe that I love to share because I have three cookbooks

14:28and this is the most shared recipe. So I thought for sure, I've got to share this recipe with you.

14:35This is a recipe that my kids love. They ask for it on a weekly basis. So to get started,

14:40I've melted one stick of butter and I'm going to go ahead and pour the butter in here and then

14:46one cup of brown sugar. For whatever reason with banana bread, I've always just used a handheld.

14:53I think because I just can whip it up so fast and it feels like I can do everything right here and

14:57get it done quick. I think this is the recipe I make the most at the farm.

15:05I'm going to blend this and then from there I'm going to add the eggs and the vanilla.

15:11And I just like to get it combined. This is a recipe that's so quick and easy. It's not too

15:17precious, meaning when there's different ways like, you know, sometimes if I've got a little more time,

15:23I'll whip the bananas in a different bowl. But I, again, I'm all about efficiency and if it works,

15:29then I'm going to dump it all in here. Two eggs, room temp. Everyone should have a banana bread recipe

15:36in their back pocket. Who doesn't want banana bread? Anytime I have guests over, if there's

15:42banana bread on the stove, I always tell them, hey, let me get you a plate. I'll warm it up,

15:46put a little butter on it. Vanilla. About a teaspoon and a half of vanilla.

15:54Looks like a teaspoon and a half to me. Get all this incorporated, blend it together, and then

16:02the bananas. One thing I do is like, if I know we're out of town that week, but I have ripe bananas,

16:10I'll put them in a bag, put them in the freezer just so they're ready for the next week.

16:13I'll blend the bananas into the mixture. But sometimes my bananas are like, totally black.

16:21I don't want to get all the chunks out. I like to have a little bit of the chunks in there,

16:26so I'll leave them. So that looks good. And now regular all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

16:35One and three quarter cup flour. Half a teaspoon of salt. A teaspoon of baking soda.

16:41I'm just gonna mix that together. And that is it. That's all the ingredients. Add this mixture

16:49to the bananas, the sugar, butter, and the eggs. And then from here, you put it in the pan,

16:56you bake it, and you're done. There is something that's just so good about these tried and true

17:01recipes. They're super simple, super quick, that I know my kids are gonna love when they get home,

17:08and they're gonna appreciate it.

17:15So this can be after-school snack. This can be breakfast. Chip and I just do this weird thing

17:20where we feel like every breakfast there has to be eggs. So of course we're gonna do scrambled eggs

17:27or whatever the kids want. But then because of me, there's always got to be something a little sweet.

17:32That's a little carb loaded to pair with those eggs because I feel like it's a nice little balance

17:38for the kiddos. This works out great. Banana bread. Banana bread. That's not cake. It's bready.

17:43Okay. So I've got a little pan here. This is not a 9 by 13. I don't know what this is. Maybe a 6 by 8-ish.

17:54You can do an 8 by 8 square, but a little smaller baking dish. I've greased the dish,

18:02and now I'm gonna pour in the batter.

18:08And this next part is optional. If it's like an after-school snack, I'll add the sugar. If it's

18:14breakfast, I don't. But I like to just top it off with a little bit of sugar because I like

18:21that little thin crust or that texture on the top. So the oven is set at 350, about 40 to 45 minutes.

18:30At around 35 minutes, if you can start smelling that banana bread, check it out. Check the middle,

18:35because every oven is a little different. But the key is just that beautiful golden color, not too dark.

18:50What do you smell? Do you smell something good you want to eat? Bubba? Hi.

19:08There you go. It is done. Well, it's perfect timing because the kids are going to be here, and this is

19:15nice and hot. It's really that golden color you're looking for. And then you can see how

19:19that sugar created that little crust, letting it cool off just a bit, putting a little butter on it.

19:25But you can see how that sugar top just adds a little more texture and that look that I feel like

19:30looks tastier. I'm a fan of warm, fresh banana bread, so I like to cut into it

19:37just a couple minutes out of the oven. Look at that. It's piping hot.

19:47I like to just add a little butter to the top. I mean, look at that. It's just so good. And

19:57I don't know how to explain it. I just know my kids are going to be excited. And even though I've been

20:01doing this for many years, it's still something that they don't get tired of.

20:13So I hope what you take away from this is just it doesn't take a ton of time to make something

20:20that will make your house smell wonderful and fill not only bellies, but also, dare I say, souls.

20:27You've got the cinnamon pecan bundt cake that is just delicious, all the best flavors. And then

20:33your tried and true banana bread. You can never go wrong with the banana bread. And you saw how

20:39quick and easy it was to whip up. I can't wait for you to try these recipes. I guarantee you,

20:43your family and friends are going to love it. I got to go because my kids are almost home from school.

20:50Well, I guess I don't really have to go. I'm home.

20:53I'm home, so I don't actually got to go.

20:57I'm home.
