How to Make Any Kind of Pound Cake | Off-Script with Sohla

Рет қаралды 704,944

Күн бұрын

This month, Sohla El-Waylly is making pound cakes. Whether it's got streusel or swirls, berries or just butter, the basic technique is the same, and Sohla shares her tips for making sure your pound cake has a nice, tight crumb, a moist interior and a crisp, perfectly split top. (Hint: cream your better really, really -- REALLY -- well!) Once you've got the concept down, you can go off-script and riff on the concept however you'd like. READ MORE ►► f52.co/3pNskpM

I’m a fairly good baker and make desserts and cakes often, but this is the FIRST TIME someone has ever said that “batter is an emulsion” and suddenly EVERYTHING clicked. I’ve also never heard/read the reason for adding eggs one at a time but the emulsion explanation makes so much sense. This is why Sohla is elite, she has so much knowledge and explains it in an accessible way.

This isn’t just “how to make any pound cake” this is “UNDERSTAND how to bake a pound cake so you can use those skills to make ANY pound cake”! I thought I knew how to make one before but because I didn’t *understand* what was important and what wasn’t they never turned out quite right. Skipped all that creaming and scraping that’s for sure... no more needing Entenmann’s basic pound cake for cravings any more!! Because of Sohla WE can bake it! And I’ll give myself her pep talks the whole time, it WILL be fine!

“Because of Sohla WE can bake it” is such a great saying. That’s her entire vibe. She teaches in such a wholesome way. Her approach teaches so much: patience, critical thinking, applied work ethic, the benefit of trial and error, and most importantly to just have fun. I posted it somewhere else but I’ll say it again-I wish she was around when food network was at its peak. She deserves the notoriety. Honestly an icon.

I couldn’t agree more. Something as simple as having your ingredients at room temperature takes the result to another level. I grew up baking with my mother and have her to thank for teaching me and inspiring me but she was a busy working woman and was more of a “getter done” baker. Now she comes to me for tips and it’s because of these kinds of in-depth videos that I’ve been able to learn so much. Very grateful to have access to the instruction of professional chefs and bakers. And Sohla is delightful. I discovered @Food52 after the BA scandal and I’ve been loving the channel.

@@gauravvikalp theres a place not far from my home where it grows wild. Early spring me and my mom like to pick the fresh baby leaves to put into rice cake. Can also put in soup and stuff (we're Korean). Mugwort castella is also good :D Also it can be bought in powder form.

@@3ofClovers I only know mugwort as something you put onto a bird if you are roasting it whole. Never got an explanation as to why either. Something about fat and health if I remember correctly. Always seemed like a "do it because grandma does it" type of deal. But it sounds like I might want to find out more about mugwort. I don't even know what the stuff tastes like!

I love how Sohla just kind of rambles throughout the video! It's not just the recipes that are off script! So much better than BA's tightly rehearsed videos! (except for Brad. Everything he says is off the cuff)

Sohla is so knowledgable. What I truly appreciate about her, in comparison to others, is how she invites her audience to learn and understand in a welcoming, fun, and positive way. Her approach is "you can do it!" and "it's okay!" You can tell she's made a LOT of trial and error and mistakes herself, and she's come out more knowledgable and better because of it. That's super inspiring and makes *you* want to learn, too.

I made the plain vanilla one following this video as close as I could. Best thing I've ever made. Hands down.
