- Let's bake the legendary 1912 Chocolate Potato Cake! - Recipe Below.
MY COOKBOOK: geni.us/BakingYesteryear
This is my favourite way make this icon :)
The 1912 written original is at the end of the video.
--CAKE--
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup riced/mashed russet potato
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each of: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
1/2 cup GRATED semi-sweet chocolate (2oz, or half a baking-chocolate bar)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I recommend walnuts)
-- FROSTING --
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
2 oz semi sweet chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Instructions | CAKE:
1.) Set diced potato to a boil until tender. I do not peel the potato.
2.) Cream together butter & sugar until fluffy and pale.
3.) Slowly incorporate the eggs, which have been beaten.
4.) Rice or mash potato in a separate bowl, then stir and cool with milk.
5.) Incorporate the potato & milk, mixing well.
6.) Combine flour, leavening & spices in a separate bowl.
7.) Gently incorporate the flour mixture, grated chocolate & nuts.
8.) Add batter to a buttered and floured 8x8 inch cake tin.
9.) Bake at 350 fahrenheit for 45-55 minutes.
* Check at 40 minutes with a toothpick.
* When inserted into centre then pulls away clean - the cake is done.
- Instructions | FROSTING:
1.) Add all ingredients; save for vanilla, to a saucepan.
2.) Set to a LOW boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally at first. Remove from heat.
3.) Add vanilla, and beat to desired consistency.
4.) Apply frosting to the cooled cake.
* Beating more will lead to a spreadable frosting - less so will lead to a thick, pourable glaze which will set wonderfully once cool.
* Briefly chilling the boiled frosting will help to thicken, just stir before application.

I really must thank you all for your kind comments, I didn't expect this; being so different from my usual. I can't wait to do some more of these alongside the regular :)
That would be amazing, I really enjoyed this video :)
Can't wait! :)
You've got a gift! You're fun to watch! As a wife of a CZcamsr make stuff you care about and is fun for you!
babish collab. future.
More of this, also, more shouting?
Honestly, I am perfectly fine with both forms of the content. Both "big screamy" *and* "slow descriptive" give a good vibe in their own right.
It goes to prove how varied a performer is. I hope he continues both. Reading people say they just prefer the yelling even after seeing this video feels like they're saying they prefer him to be shallower.
It's like, encourage the man to live and portray a wider range of emotion, *please!*
Agreed
I am relieved to hear this, thank you most kindly :)
@@BDylanHollis do you plan on making piano covers or original pieces in the near future or is that not possible anymore?
@@BDylanHollis Do what you love, do it WITH love, and everyone that loves you and whatever you do will be here for you, my dude! ♥
This guys can go from yelling at a potato cake to asmr about the same thing I love it
Yes
Yeah injoyed the different style
The obligatory "cimmanim" was still nice.
It’s so nice lol
It really is a beautiful thing. So much energy in the short clips and such a gentle explanation in this long video and i love it
We must protect this man at all costs. His content is a comfort in these strange and trying times. A comfort food for my soul.
Is he in danger??
YES!!!! We (all of us) must protect and defend at all costs. 😂 Because he is someone special. Counting the days till the 27th and then hope I am looking at your cookbook in my hot little hands. 😊
"A comfort food for my soul"
PERFECT analogy. Thank you
A genuinely delightful person in a deluge of cynicism and clickbait
I am hypnotized by his hair and energy ..... he plays piano very well (fact) and I think that he may also dance the lindy hop?
I love how calm your presence is in the longer form videos. It feels like a mister rodgers meets baking moment and it’s so peaceful
I love this!
Yes!!!!
His videos like this give me Alton Brown ‘Good Eats’ vibes
Hi, I am from France and I would like to know what exactly is Crisco, and what difference with margerine ? thanks
Margarine is a butter substitute made from vegetable oils, while Crisco is a popular brand of vegetable shortening. Shortening has no water in it, while margarine and butter are about 85% fat and 15% water.
TikToks: Absolute chaos and mayhem
CZcams: Calm and soothing and just good vibes
Too bad tiktok's slowly eating away at youtube shorts. It used to be a good way to get rid of boredom before you actually think of something you want to do.
@@Fennetic well when they realize that you can get paid for the 60 second vids it’s obvious which one you can go for. Having a following on tic tok just makes it quicker.
I mean that sums it up pretty well ngl
BUTTER GO BRRRRRRRRR
"The chaos is definitely still there" I say to myself as I watch the man just horf down a chunk of baking chocolate without even flinching
I love it when pre-serum Steve Rogers teaches me to cook.
Those are really the exact same vibes i was getting
Oh my god yes thats perfect lmao
I keep seeing people say this, but Small Steve is only his appearance. Martin Short is WAY more accurate in tone and energy. lol
i agree with this statement through and through
I've yet to run into a vaguely German doctor to save me from my toothpick frame. I'm starting to worry D:
I love this format. The slower, chiller mood makes it easier to keep up with and in turn the recipes appear more approachable for a first-time baker. As entertaining as watching you dump in your moo juice, 'nilla, and eggies in a bowl for 60 seconds is, I can actually see myself following along with these to make a cake out of potatoes and chocolate.
Don't forget the floof powder!
I completely agree. I wish he would do one recipe a month. I love the 60 seconds, but I also really enjoyed this.
Buy his book
True, this is easier to follow, but the high-energy louder shorts are a lot of fun.
Keep doing both, I say!
I love how chill you are on CZcams. You're hilarious when you're full throttle on TikTok, but here you feel so charming and charismatic without that too!
"Aww, he didn't say -"
"CIMANIM!"
*life is complete*
Or FAAYYAAA
@@Milkybetrayal Try reading the entire comment before responding next time.
Omg I was thinking that as well XD
@@moose-mancer what did he say
I read this before I finished the video. Now I know what you mean. I agree 💯
Listen I appreciate the hilarity of the shorter, yelling version as much as anybody but this???? this was so pleasant... like a chill little sit down with a friend, listening to him chat about his hobby...so soothing and nice
THIS
I enjoy you in short form, but absolutely ADORE you in long form. The commenter who said you have the energy of a 10 year old, looks like a 20 year old, and dresses like a senior citizen is completely on point. My autistic 17 year old learned how to cook and bake watching your channel. We try the dead people recipes. No lie, he always yells "EGGY" when the eggs go in. Thank you for everything you do. Long forms tells us why, short form tells us HOW.
I’m the same when baking anything. I yell Eggies, ‘nilla, moo juice, floof powder/ floof soda 🤣😁
I’m almost 70 and absolutely LOVE ❤️ watching you Dylan. No weird agenda, no politics and a fantastic sense of humor. I think I’ll buy your cookbook! Tons of love from Alaska ❤
Fun facts for those who dig through comments: the oven is “moderate” because this cookbook was written when gas stoves were still only a decade or so into common use! Many people would have still been using a wood fired oven, which doesn’t have temperature controls (but you can still gauge temperature ranges when you know what you are doing.) Slow/moderate/high as temperatures would have been understood by the original readers.
Also, baking chocolate squares were 1oz by weight until the early 2010s when they switched to 1/2 oz squares.
Personal note, I am fascinated by the way cooking changes with the advance of technology and the kinds of things one needs to know in order to use a recipe older than just a handful of decades. So impressed with Mr Hollis here! Looking forward to more of these videos.
I was going to mention a square of baking chocolate was an ounce, but I imagined that one of the 3000 comments before me got there first.
Dug through the comments to see (and appreciate) this
Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. 😊
If you haven't already you should check out Glenn and friends - he does a weekly old cookbook show
Fellow Brit here:
1) fanny is absolutely a funny word
2);I feel like he's the only person alive (or at least actively using the internet) with a mid-atlantic accent and I love it!
I'm surprised by the Bermudan flag, but it makes sense!
I am so curious about his accent - can you say more about what a mid Atlantic accent is and why the Bermuda flag makes sense? (Genuinely wondering, not trying to be an ass)
Whenever I see an American talking about "sitting on your fanny", I try to picture just how that might work... like, saw horse as chair?
@@fosterfamily8235 not sure about the Bermuda flag bit BUT the mid-atlantic accent is that sort of old-time Hollywood accent where it was a very posh version of an American accent. I don't know how else to explain it, but it's midway between an American accent and English received pronunciation, hence "mid-atlantic".
@@amandajones8841 ikr 😂😂 I'd have to lean riiiiight over and definitely be straddling SOMETHING 🤣
The Baker's Chocolate brand goes back to the 1780s and pretty well dominated the home baking market-- Fanny was probably using that brand in her own kitchen.
Their baking chocolate originally came in an 8-oz. box (now I think it's 4 oz.) containing 8 individually-wrapped squares that were molded with a groove in the middle, so you could chop them in half as necessary. (And I do mean "chop" not break-- those suckers were HARD.)
When you see Fanny (or any 19th or 20th c. American cookbook) call for "a square of bitter chocolate," they're asking for a 1-oz. (28.35 g) piece of unsweetened (NOT bittersweet!) chocolate-- 99-100% cacao.
(As a note, "fanny" also a cute way to refer to one's backside in the U.S.-- it's not considered vulgar or offensive. In the 19th/early 20th c. it was also a nickname for Frances, but it fell out of fashion quite some time ago.)
i'm not sure if dylan is from a part of the world where this is true but he may be referrering to how some places use fanny as a slang word for a woman's private area
@@donb7519 Yes, I recently learned about that for the UK! That's why I specified what the slang was in the U.S., because that's also where Fannie was from (I realized afterwards I'd spelled her name incorrectly-- just to confuse matters, there's also a confectioner in the U.S. that goes by Fanny Farmer).
In the early '90s, my college housemate's British friend came to visit, and she giggled with delight every time my boyfriend referred to his belt bag as a "fanny pack." She would goad him into saying it as often as possible.
When he commented about the square of chocolate, I was right there with you as I have a cookie recipe that asked for the same thing which was a little gear stopping when they made bars instead of 1 oz squares.
Somewhere online I'm sure there's a conversion formula for using cocoa and vegetable oil to replace the unsweetened chocolate, if all you happen to have is cocoa.
Oh, I remember the Baker's chocolate squares!
This is so charming! It feels like a family friend, someone you know but not very well, being kind enough to invite you into their kitchen and share a favorite recipe. It's a totally different experience from TikTok, but it's certainly just as enjoyable.
His tiktok voice is screeching at his ancestors for not knowing how to cook, his youtube voice is soothing and charming, someone you'd like to eat a chocolate potato cake with
I love both voices
Now that i do agree
Him: "I'm Not a Cook, I'm Not a Baker"
Also Him: proceeds to give give coherent instructions explaining the recipe and what methods works better than others
Underpromise, overdeliver, the hallmark of a smart guy.
I mean with experience you know some things
I adore the TikTok shorts as they are brilliant, funny and still manage to get in some historical facts - brightens up any day. But oh my these youtube videos are BRILLIANT. I LOOOOOOOOVE them! As a fan and collector of recipe collections (and cookbooks, admittedly, though they're not as fun) it's absolutely terrific to get this insight into older cooking from other countries.
I purchased Dylan’s cook book and there are so many great recipes. He’s right…this is probably the best recipe in the entire book. It’s delicious!
Answered my question, if it's in his cookbook
@@kristenwahlstrom5365 I'd say all the highlights are in there :D
He legit seems like the nice young man our grandma's fell in love with before they never came back from the war
I agree, he seems so sweet 🥲
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
plot twist: he is and is immortal. all the cookbooks are just the accumulation of the only thing he truly enjoys as he passes through the endless passage of time.
That’s what i did
@@apblolol oh no he has lore now
B. Dylan Hollis: there’s so many people that are so good at cooking, using fancy cameras, I just sit here and yell
Me:...........but that’s what makes you so great
SIMONYHM!
Yes
@@Odb718 NUHTMEGH
His voice sounds quite nice when he isn't screaming though.
“It’s digestible!” The most honest marketing from Crisco
You've brought back memories of my grandmother. She would bake it for us when we'd return to Butte, MT, each summer. Dad LOVED Potato Cake! Grandmother Ann died in 1963. When I became an adult I would bake a Potato Cake and Cornish Pasties for Christmas presents for my dad. Thanks for the memories.
God, the simultaneous old-fashioned gentleman and chaotic millennial energy is fantastic. John Mulaney vibes, but hotter.
and gayer
@@caseyleenb how is he gay?
Right 😂😂😂
Ossama Abdusalam he’s specifically stated that he’s gay in some of his videos
Definitely agree on the vibes he gives off, though if he’s a college student he might fall into the gen Z, not millennial generation
I absolutely adore this man. Has the energy of a 10 year old, looks like a 20 year old, and dresses like a senior citizen.
so... steve rodgers
Captain America if he went to that art school.
I need that AU, NOW!
And no-one know his (actual) age
So... Strong 11th Doctor vibes then.
@@stalelemonproduction He's our timeline's Steve Rogers
I had no idea hes been doing ghis for over 2 years. I've been watching him for just a few months. Now, I'm going back to find these older videos. He's great!
Dylan, looking at this video two years later, i would dare to say you made a successful transfer to CZcams.
Heck, by now you even brought out your OWN COOK BOOK!
Any chance of that coming out in german?
He has a nice voice. I never noticed it before because he’s either screaming or speaking in a tone of disgust or amazement.
For real, listening to this voice calmed me down from a final-induced anxiety attack.
Check out his car tik toks. They're blissful
okay but him not being a chef or a baker and just a college student is actually the biggest twist of this video
Wait. DID PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK I WAS A BAKER?
@@BDylanHollis yes, yes I did
Same 😂
@@BDylanHollis even in this video after saying that, you're so knowledgeable! have you done much baking? because most of the things you mention casually are things non-bakers wouldn't really know much about.
I thought you were thirty...
Fannie Farmer is a goddess of culinary arts. I love my old cookbooks!
I remember this! The reason it says "It's Digestable" is because it was cheaper than lube and worked about as well.
He’s not a cook. He’s not a baker. He’s a jazz pianist with too much power in his kitchen!
~~thats jazz baybey~~
"Moderate temperature is just dead people talk for 350°"
Such wonderful phrasing
Love that your videos are longer over here! I enjoy hearing some of the backstory on these old recipes too!
The wholesomeness transferred to CZcams. The chaos stayed on TikTok.
Good they can keep it
@@Nobody-yj8yq But I love the 60 seconds of chaos
@@iaxacs3801 Its DLC
“Gentles and ladymen” just made me very happy for some reason 🥺
Right? I actually spent several minutes wondering if I could correct people that "actually, I am a gentle" whenever they call me a lady or ma'am.
I am going to be using this
You might be a TikToker, and not a CZcamsr, but if you weren’t on CZcams, my son, and I would never have seen you because we don’t do TikTok and we love your recipes
Can we appreciate the history professor energy exuded from every pore of this video? He 100% would hitch a hip on the edge of his desk while explaining the importance of the War of 1812.

And it would be thr highlight of tuesday and thursday for all of us
Fyi- says he is a college student (although I suspect graduate student)
@@Hekateras meets Adam savage
Dude, as someone who's a serious hobby baker, this video is unusually fantastic. Your energy, clarity, and ability to communicate are all top notch. From someone that watches them and loves them, your production value is the ONLY thing separating you from the channel of America's Test Kitchen. That's how good this is.
Well said!
That is very kind of you to say. I started baking on TikTok as a quirky joke, but it has slowly made me fall in love with the world of cookery. So this is really encouraging, thank you :)
@@BDylanHollis That's wonderful to hear! I'd like to warmly recommend Serious Eats and Kitchn for cookery resources that actually explain a lot of what's going on. It may make it easier to predict/explain why these recipes do what they do. I do warn you that with great knowledge comes the great desire to look at a terrible result and go "...I can fix this recipe.", but honestly? You seem like the type to enjoy doing that as much as I do.
I completely agree!
@@BDylanHollis Butter go brrrr!!!
This man is an absolute joy to watch, so glad I came across these videos.
As a fellow collector of vintage cookbooks, I'm totally here for your content Dylan! Love you on both platforms!
Thanks Dylan for trying something new. I laugh hysterically at your TikToks, but I also enjoy your insights into how the ingredients and techniques work together to produce a particular result. Both styles are wonderful.
"I'm a TikToker, not a CZcamsr"
Well, you are now, cause this was amazing.
Please, absolutely do more of these.
I agree!!👍👍👍👍
In the wise words of some meme, "Both. Both is good."
I mean… you have a point. He has like, 1.28M subscribers now.
He went from Gordon Ramsey of tiktok to Bob Ross of CZcams and I am SO HERE FOR THIS WHOLESOME CONTENT
This explanation is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to articulate since I first saw Dylan’s CZcams videos!
This is the best comment here.
Yes!!
Fr
He’s still both which is even more amazing and wonderful 😍
Living in CT, the nutmeg state, everything is spiced during the holidays. Cinnamon, cloves, mace, and nutmeg are all used together. Individually, these are strong spices but lightly used and blended together give a nice warm spiciness to squash, rice pudding, pumpkin bread and so much more.
I love these videos, so yes PLEASE keep making them.
Your camera quality is actually part of the charm. Its uncomplicated great visual quality, and it feels like when you sit your kid on the bench so they can watch you bake.
As fun as it is to watch you "yell" out the instructions for a 30 or so second ticktok (which is highly entertaining), i very much enjoy your quieter humor in this format too. I do love that you keep in a couple of your idiosyncrasies from ticktok vids too (especially "eggies") so keep doing it your way.
Love and support to you. Looking forward to your next CZcams video.
he speaks like a Brit that’s been in the States so long they’ve lost their accent completely!
Oh my g*d yes!
That's Bermuda.
@@Panda6778_wwYTGamer did you just censor the word "god"?
@@hendrixhotel some people in the past have yelled at me for saying it on the internet so I censor it
@@Panda6778_wwYTGamer soon you are gonna run out of words to say 😂 don't let 'em dictate what word you can use, plus it's not even a derogatory term
Can we talk about how this man always has his outfits ON POINT
Is it weird that I wanna see him make a video of him choosing clothing and trying things on?
Yes we can.
It must have something to do with the fact that he’s also a JAZZ PIANIST!
That’s right! There’s a video of him playing here on Facebook.
Talk about your secret lives!
@@moremerry57 Yeah, he's a music student. Maybe grad, but still in school.
In all honesty, I love your videos for several reasons. Love the energy, and the way you present these recipes. It really shows how the people struggling through the Great Depression, the World Wars, etc found ways to feed their family regardless of everything going on in the world. One of my favorites you did as a short tic tock video, was the bacon fat/grease chocolate chip cookies. Fun fact: during World War 2, the housewives often saved the bacon fat in lieu of even having butter. They would even use it to butter the bread. These recipes that you share, are truly like you're digging up a time capsule with a bit of insight into what their lives were like a little bit, during those times. Thank you.
You gotta be the Bob Ross of these cooking videos. So calm and soft spoken. A stark contrast to your tic toc. I just recently came across these CZcams videos, but I find them just as enjoyable.
One word that stays in my mind whenever I hear his voice:
*CIMMANEM*
SUGA
May-naise
FIRE
Floofers
EGGY
The seriousness with which he says " I'm an overgrown child." Love it
Our country is POPULATED w/overgrown children.
WHY can’t they be intelligent, charming, interesting, and well spoken like he?!?
@@moremerry57 it's because of his intelligence he's capable of admitting to being an overgrown child.
Although this is 2 yrs old, I love watching all of your TicToc and CZcams videos. They never get old. You are a master. Please don't stop making videos. I would love to spend time with you in the kitchen! I have a newer edition of her cookbook, probably close to 50 years old, and have made a lot of recipes from it. I chuckled when you talked about her name 😊. Happy baking.
I’m really glad you have longer (less manic) videos for those of us who still have longer attention spans.
I consulted my 90 year old very stoic grandmother, and not only did she love your video it got quite the giggle out of her, and she informed me that a square of chocolate actually means a square inch of chocolate! She had me send her the recipe too. I hope you do make more of these long ones, I loved hearing your explanations for each step and why they worked.
Yeah, but a square inch is a area measurement, and not a volume measurement, so it's still inaccurate
@@spamspace6878 I know what you mean but their referring to squares of chocolate like surface area of a flat side of a Hersheys, not volumetric amount
I imagine if Chris Evans and David Tennant had a child this is what would come out
Good shout !!! 👏🏻👏🏻😜
This is it. This is what I saw but couldn’t describe. Thank you for this uwu
True
Little bit of Martin Short in there too
He's like a sarcastic, snarky pre-serum Steve Roger. So yes, totally!
I love that you are resurrecting these weird and unusual recipes from the past.
My favorite old cookbooks are the ones put together by kindergarten teachers.
Children at that age have brilliant imaginations when they're explaining how to make their favorite food. It's quite a process, with unbelievable amounts of ingredients.
When their magical recipes appear in print, you'll still be laughing 50 years later.
Fun fact: Crisco changed their formula in 2007 to reduce trans fats. As a result, anything in that 1940s cookbook will not turn out as intended without additional steps like adding other liquids or chilling.
He is the kind of person who would let you cuddle for an hour and then all the sudden go “i must make a mayonnaise chocolate cake!”
Yes, please. More!
I'm there for the cuddling!
That is 100% a good thing!😊😋
I dont like how this starts off with cuddling and ends with mayo lmao
@@thelandofthecrimsonsun4582 technically it ends with cake, sooo...
Oh wow! You're in Wyoming! I adored the decade I go to live there... the magic of below zero weather, the wildlife and the super hearty folks.... will live in my heart forever! You're so fantastic, love all you put out, your love and passion for what you do is profoundly inspiring and a pure delight!
I love the energy. Calm and collected...
"I'm an overgrown child."
Ain't we all?
Also, love this format.
I guess figuratively and literally we all became overgrown children when adulthood hits
"I'm not a chef or baker" *proceeds to give expert, professional advice on how to bake*
I'm a hospital cook, and I felt like an idiot when he was talking about overmixing the batter making too dense a cake.
Ye I was like excuse me what
Chef Gusteau always said anyone can cook.
@@DarkenedDawn your.not wrong
"Anyone can't be a great cook, but a great cook can come from anywhere." -Ego.
You should start a podcast. Like seriously, your voice is so calming and I think listening to you talk about old recipes and things like that would be amazing.
Honestly, it's his facial expressions, the shock and surprise, as he tries a Recipe, than when he eats it. Shock and surprise if it works out, tastes amazing, etc.
while your 'big screamy' clips are absolutely hilarious, this toned down long-form content is really, really enjoyable. i could watch this all day.
I also like the "gentles and ladymen" as greeting
He should do an audiobook
I too enjoy this!
With a little background music from the same era as the dish he happens to be making, this would be perfect!
@@beansprout9480 He's a Jazz student, so how about some of Ellington's more mellow compositions?
the impeccable vibes of both a sixteen year old kid and a sixty year old queen
Definitely a queen!
Ricing the potatoes will result in a fluffier product. Can’t wait to try this cake!!!!! I also love baking the past
Man, that smooth, pourable frosting just makes me think of those cakes from Disney cartoons back in the day. Shiny and smooth. Beautiful
“I’m not a baker, I just sit here and yell” he says as he calmly, clearly, and humorously explains his baking process
Seriously this is a great video. I’d watch more of these. And I’m tempted to try making this cake now
"I just sit here and yell" And we all love it, beloved Baking Twink
honestly the relative jank of your setup compared to most cooking channels adds to the charm of your videos. makes it feel like we're in someone's kitchen instead of a TV set of a kitchen.
I love baking and collecting cookbooks. You take both to a new level. Love watching you do your thing and inspiring me to dig out my older cookbooks.
BROTHERS PROTECT THIS CINNAMON ROLL, HE BRINGS JOY
You're like a quirky boyfriend and a wholesome grandpa wrapped into one adorable being
And please keep doing both formats! They're both fantastic!
Yes 🥺
Dylan, you're gonna be popular on CZcams BECAUSE of the relaxed nature and no over-production, not in spite of it. The uniqueness of the recipes you have access to and the fact that you stick to it even if it'll be bad is the draw
Yes, the mix of his eloquence and his sense of humor is pure authenticity!
yes I much prefer this format to the tiktok videos tbh
The enunciation is priceless. Had NO idea you were on CZcams, and am loving this!!!! The asides on TikTok make me laugh out loud, literally, but what you're doing here is beautiful.
I don’t TikTok, and didn’t find this until I looked up recipes on here. It was super early-but when a man child this adorable and wholesome said “shit” after spilling I laughed! It’s like when a kid says it, I found it hysterical!
Who knew the guy who yells at cake ingredients on TikTok could make me feel as calm and safe as Bob Ross. I'd love it if you did more of these longform videos, this was a delight!
Thank you for putting your finger on it for me! He gives me Bob Ross vibes, just a really nice guy talking you through what can be a rather complex process, with a smattering of jokes. You can call the thiccc version a brownie.
Bob Ross of vintage disaster
Now I kinda want to see someone making TikToks in Hollis's style, only with Bob Ross-esque paintings.
The Horseman of the anti-apocalypse.....
White Horse: Mr. Rogers (Steve and Fred are both valid.)=kindness, respect, caring for others
Red Horse:Mr. Hollis= Creating and Nostalgia
Black Horse: Bob Ross= Beauty, observation, nature
Pale Horse: William Stanford Nye= exploration, learning, life.
Who are yours?
Am I the only one who's gonna thank the man for posting the recipe in the description? Yeah? Okay. THANK YOU.
YEA! THANK YOU DUDE
He even gave screenshot slides at the end of the video! So nice!
3:30 I think that’s what makes you both so fun to watch, and also more credible, IMO. You show recipes that are good and bad, you have brutal honesty about your lack of experience, you credit where you get your recipes, and sometimes you even link to other content creators that can show you more history. You’re a very humble channel, and you’re a very good soul. Plus, I like that you do vintage recipes, it feels more accessible, and also feels like they’re more likely to be palatable to the average person, instead of super fancy and crazy and technical. Plus, and this is just my personal experience, I like your channel cause I can find recipes that I had heard of as a kid, when I read super old novels and stories with references to old recipes and ingredients that nowadays aren’t referenced, and these recipes appeal a lot to my family, especially my mother, who was taught by her mother to bake and so on. It makes me feel like I’m participating in something bigger, not just following a recipe from an anonymous figure. I know you’re popular on Tiktok, but I’m really glad you make CZcams vids, cause otherwise, I never would’ve discovered your work.
I like his 70’s disco shirts.❤
Dylan has like the perfect mix of gleeful childish joy, probably depressed college student who copes with humor & a step dad who's slightly awkward around kids energy. With a sprinkle of chaos to top everything.
I absolutely adore this man.
YES thank you this THIS is Dylan's vibe, as well as slight grandpa who will give you advice
No word of a lie, if Doctor Who ever wants an American styled throw-back of David Tennant, I vote B. Dylan Hollis.
I get Martin Short vibes in both types of videos, but that's because Martin Short had a range that includes both hilariously shouty and whatever this is - kindly instructive?
Also, loving how much historic gastronomy is taking off in video form. I also have a large collection of vintag cookbooks, which until recently no one was interested in. So happy to have people join me in my obsession!
At first i was shocked at how bloody well David Tennant had aged...
Yes please it would be so cute
@@lillianlasher7157 David Tennant and Martin Short had a secret love child = Dylan. ❤
I keep seeing Steve Rogers before he became Captain America.
I love how animated you are even without yelling and slowing your paste
Your TikTok videos have made you famous on CZcams as well. Don't feel you need to change your style because of the vehicle used to present your work. We love your light and fun character!
I like how serious he got when saying "I'm an overgrown child"
I’m just finding this video in April 2024, but I wanted to say that Fannie Farmer cookbooks are a southern staple. The books you have are a prize indeed. Thanks you for honoring one of their earliest recipes. I love your content. 🤍
Him: "I'm not a cook"
Also him: cooks and explains everything he does and why he does it like a chef does
ikr
Yes to longer content. My 80 yr old brain can only follow and “catch” your snappy asides for so long! Love the maudlin humor(Irish somewhere?) snippets of your personal life. My sister and I embrace the ironic moments!
I love that you dont use a fancy setup! It allows for you to shine.
I heard 1912 I immediately thought about the fact that this could have been served on the titanic
That would explain some things...
"I'm a tiktocker, not a youtuber." Could have fooled me, this was awesome in a totally different way. If you enjoyed this, love to see more!
Definitely loving the CZcams format! More please!
Definitely. These longer, more in depth exploration of recipes, is more informative and entertaining 😀
I just learned Dylan does long-form videos as well, and I am absolutely here for it! I just love that quirky, chill kind of excitement you get
I do love the slow, wholesome version of this recipe, but I will ALWAYS love just the chaotic:
"SHUGAH, MOO JUICE," and "EGGY"
And you can’t forget
CIMENEM
... I thought he said “Moon juice” for weeks! XD
"FIYAAH!"
@@AmericanDivaa I did too!
This was actually nicer than I anticipated - outside the TikTok persona, you're very knowledgeable about baking and you're very charismatic - almost like a Max Miller but with a more narrow focus on early 20th century Americana.
I hope you continue this series - not just with the TikTok recipes you'd care to do it with, but really any recipes from the old days that you might like to share; It's a disappointingly underexplored period of cooking
Now that's a team-up I'd love to see - Dylan and Max cooking together.
@@DrGaellon I KNOW I'M A MONTH OR SO LATE BUT YES
WE NEED THAT
God I wish we could tag other creators because that sounds like a collab I'd pay to see
Who ever ruins the 888 likes... I despise you
Holy s**t YES PLEASE DYLAN AND MAX TEAM UP FTW!
Ahem. I mean yes, I approve of that notion most highly.
Truth is the TikTok shouting and high energy brought me in and sold me a cookbook that I thoroughly enjoy. But I also appreciate the quieter You Tube's that provide additional details. Here's hoping you aren't still cooking alone in your kitchen.
