- So don't you just love a hot cup of coffee in the morning?
I literally look forward to waking up
just because of coffee.
Maybe a little java pick me up in the afternoon as well.
Yup, I have a lot of jobs.
Even a little after dinner,
I like caffeine, you see where I'm going?
But why stop there?
I found out you can actually bake with coffee too
and I'm very excited.
Here to show us how to take our love of coffee
to the next level is cookbook author, Danielle Kartes.
Come on y'all, give it up for her.
(audience cheering)
- Thank you so much.
- What are we making today Danielle?
- You guys we are making
an old-fashioned buttermilk chocolate cake.
Is it so good and so easy,
and we are topping it with
a malted cream cheese chocolate frosting.
- [Kelly] I love my job.
- You might as well just rub it on my--
rub it right there. - Just paste it right there.
- That's exactly where that's gonna go.
- That's where we want it to go, but first thing
I want you to do-- - What's first?
- We're gonna get into teams. - Okay.
- Rubbing on thighs.
I want you to get in here.
Do you wanna be the dumper or the stirrer?
- You be the dumper
I'll be the stirrer. - You be the dumper,
you be the stirrer, okay.
Okay, perfect. - I'll be the stirrer
you be the dumper. - Follow my lead.
This is very technical, it's not.
It's not technical at all-- (chatting drowns out speaker)
What to dump when.
The first thing we're gonna do,
so what I've got you started with
is already you have your flour
and your sugar and your baking soda,
your baking powder and your salt.
So I did that all for you guys.
So what I want you to do is start to stir.
Oh no, we're not doing that one first.
We're gonna do our cocoa powder first,
so get that in there you guys.
- [Kelly] Get that cocoa powder.
- [Steven] Whole thing?
- Get your little whisk. - Got my cocoa powder.
- Start to mix 'em up. - Got my cocoa powder.
- Next-- (drowned out by Tichina)
Here comes your eggs.
Give it a beat. - Eggs!
- Give it a beat-- (drowned out by singing)
- I love eggs!
(audience clapping)
- And then here comes your buttermilk.
- Give me buttermilk. - That's delicious and tangy.
And then here comes-- - Buttermilk!
(all singing)
- [Steven] Stir it up good!
- And here comes you vanilla extract.
Put your vanilla in there,
put your vanilla in.
- This is a very pliable whisk.
- Oh here, you wanna stop?
Do this one.
- No I was just like, "It's very pliable."
(all chatting)
- And then next comes the--
See yeah, get in there,
stir it up. - I get in there, girl.
I like baking.
- You can't mess this up.
- Stir it up, stir it up.
- Take it easy. - So next comes--
(all singing)
Coffee, hot coffee.
- Do it.
- So this is like an old Southern grandmother trick,
have you ever heard of this?
I mean you're from Texas, have you ever heard of coffee--
- I had no grandparents.
- That's okay, I totally get it.
But you know, you just hear about it on the internet.
Okay, so here comes-- - On the internet.
- [Danielle] On the internet, you know Texas--
- [Kelly] That information super highway.
- Where everybody gets their education.
Okay, so here let me get in here.
Now we're gonna pretend by the powers of television
that the cake is all perfect--
- Oh my gosh!
It's amazing! (audience cheering)
So stir it in there,
pour it in that. - Dump it in, dump it in.
- Now we're going to do our frosting.
You guys, this is the best part.
- So you pour it in the pan.
- Yeah, pour it in the pan.
And if you're not pouring it in the pan, who cares?
You're fine, we're just gonna move onto frosting.
- [Kelly] Let's move onto frosting, 'cause I love frosting.
- I know, here.
Here's our offset spatula.
- So we gave away these Oxo coffee makers
during the holidays and people loved them.
Is this what you used for the coffee?
- Oh totally, it's delicious. - Okay.
- And it's super easy and simple to use.
So here, you wanna put on your--
Yes, look at this.
And this is a homemade cake,
you want it to feel like undone and messy.
There are no rules, that's what the book is all about.
I dedicated it to moms, because sometimes we feel
like "Oh my gosh am I doing a good enough job"
and we're doing a good enough job.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
- So give 'em more cake.
- I kinda feel like I'm doing an awesome job.
- You're doing a good enough job.
- Tell that to my daughter.
- Okay wait, and then we do the side.
There we go. - Do the sides.
- See I'm into the decoration.
I like the decoration. - Okay!
Now, let's get into the chocolate part.
- I totally messed up as well. - Here comes all
of the chocolate.
- This is not good.
- No, it's beautiful!
Oh, just do this, now stop.
Food stylist trick.
- I'm baking a cake!
(audience laughing)
- So then we just decorate?
- Then you just decorate.
Look at this.
It's so beautiful.
- I love decorating. - Oh my gosh, you guys, look.
- I love decorating like this
when somebody else is picking it up.
- See, okay.
And then on goes your chocolate in little piles.
(audience cheering)
- [Kelly] Oh my gosh, woo!
- [Danielle] I put a little bit in the middle for you.
We are-- - We are eating your cake.
Taste your cake.
I feel like I nailed it.
- You did nail it.
- Lord, please don't let me gain weight.
- You just worked out.
- You know what I say,
if I'm gonna gain weight, just make it worth it.
- Make it worth it.
That is so good. - Isn't that good?
That frosting--
- I mean that is really good. - You're making worth it
and then work it.
- [Kelly] And then work it.
- You gotta work that weight.
- I can't dance.
I'm like, "Here it goes."
- Everyone can dance, everybody has just different rhythm.
- My rhythm is like back behind two steps
and I'm like this.
- You're like the Willie Nelson of dance moves.
- Yeah, give me a glass of wine.
Blame it on the wine. - Blame it on the wine.
- I baked a cake!
- [Kelly] I baked a cake!
