Former Royal Chef Reveals Queen Elizabeth's Fave Birthday Cake That's Been In The Family For Years
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 04. 2020
- Darren McGrady was the personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Princes William and Harry-a family with notoriously specific food needs-for 15 years. In 1998, he moved to the U.S.A. where he wrote best-selling cookbooks and founded Eating Royally, a fine-dining catering service based in Dallas, TX.
In the second installment of this limited series, Chef McGrady walks Delish through the royals' favorite recipes from his Dallas test kitchen...while spilling all the most glorious royal tea. We talked all things Queen Elizabeth (again!) this time around.

The Queen is probably watching this on CZcams right now thinking: „man I want this right now“
"Carruthers! Fetch me my pastry chef!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Darren, I demand a cake!"
she’s probably thinking about rehiring him😂
Well, 21/4 is just around the corner.
I guess the secret to live forever is to have this chocolate
@@slapdashzeal6095 depending on the chocolate, you can either get 20+ years added to your lifespan or, if it's milk chocolate, diabetes
Can this man have his own show? He's so fun to watch and listen to.
his smile and joy for what he's doing is contagious
he has a youtube channel !!
aww thank you
Darren McGrady YOU ARE A KING I STAN YOU SO MUCH
@@stellalouise6615 Your channel is misleading, hehe, wheres the videossss
Seems like the Queen invented a second birthday to "legally" have the chocolate cake again
She knows she just can ask for cake every time she wants right?
She knows she's the Queen right??
@@ourochroma its only legal to ha e this chocolate cake on your birthday
The tradition of the 2nd birthday was begun by her grandfather, King George V. His birthday was during the Winter when the royal family were at Sandringham. He decided to have an official birthday during the Summer so his people could see him during more favourable weather at Trooping the Colour. The tradition has endured to this day.
@@popazz1 my family does this too since four of us have a birthday in December my mom made my half birthday a thing so I get a cake and a couple presents in July instead of birchirstmas presents.
She has two birthdays because one of them is when she was born and the other one is when she became the queen after her fathers death.
"The Queen only takes a tiny slice of chocolate cake." And this is why she's living into her 90's.
very true
The queen is way older than in her 90s
Atleast In her 300s by now

@@i3lxck_stxrs106 that offends and triggers me
"She would only take a tiny slice of cake" she must've heard what happens when queens eat too much cake
I cannot believe you actually said that holy wow😂💀
@@janafawzy2003 I don't get it. What?
t beaton
omg “killer queen” by queen suddenly makes so much sense
@Popeyes the story was that the queen was so disconnected with reality & had no understanding of the state of the nation that when the servants came & told her that they have run out of bread to feed the starving people she said, "let them eat cake". As if there are cakes when there was not even bread to eat.
@@rocker6219 Fun fact, there's no record of her ever saying that.
History is written by the victor, after all.
Taking notes, who knows maybe this cake is the secret to the Queen's immortality...
It is the adrenochrome she consumes!
This cake is probably very good since she probably tasted various types of cake ever since the existence of the Earth
lurkerofthenight xx shhhhhh...
The secret ingredient is the Queens bath water. Her essence in the water will strengthen the immortality-ness that the cake will give you.
lurkerofthenight xx its probably her cup of tea
“Happy birthday Queenie”
“Happy birthday, uh, Liz”
I LOVE HIM! 😂
When she was young, her paternal grandfather (George V) called her Lilibet.

“I’ve been told I got hands like Shrek.”
Darren Mcgrady (Former Royal Chef for the Queen)
I wanna like this comment so badly but it's at 666likes and i don't wanna ruin that
Somebody once told me my hands are quite meaty, I ain't the fastest whisk in the bakery
She was looking kinda old with diamonds and some gold, in the shape of a crown right on her head
The years start coming and they don't stop coming, even though she keeps aging she ain't yet dying
Thats a goddamn compliment and we all know it
King Thorusus was that a diss track or something
Moazemeeng
“Hands like Shrek” WAS NOT what I was expecting
"Happy Birthday, LIZ" was not what I was expecting
omg that part came up right as I saw your comment XD
ShaMUA that was rude
ShaMUA when
@@viosu omg me too hahaha
To those commenting about him using his hands, you do realise that bread is often needed by hand.
That’s completely different! Bread needs to be kneaded by hand, but using your hands to mix cake is just unnecessary. We’ve got perfectly good utensils for that! Breads, or pasta doughs rely on feel to know when it’s right, while a cake just needs to have all its ingredients incorporated.
Kneaded*
Hands enhances flavor thats his secret😂
@@roccop3760 this cake has more flour than usually and it would get stuck in the wisk and impossible to get out therefore mixing with hand seems the best way. Others cultures use hands for other things than bread. Like rices in mongolia.
Bread isn't left all over your hands and fingers after you finish kneading it.
When he said "it's a pretty large cake" I was like it's mad tiny. That's how you know you're American
I loved making this video with Delish. Happy Birthday Your Majesty!
Did you ever get nervous or get any feedback. Have you made this for your own family. What a privilege though 🍫🍰
You're a delight to watch and listen to. Please don't stop making videos!
Darren McGrady can I get the recipe for her majesty’s cake?
You are precious
i love watching all your videos!
“I’ve been told I have hands like shrek”
This man is the perfect cook for the queen
Lmao
The queen told him that
@@Jimmy_Jones lmao, imagine?
Yes bet the queen enjoys his shrek hands
True
When you think, Royal Chef you expect a Posh guy with a french accent and an intimidating stature but lol no he sounds like such a nice wholesome old man!
Old? I reckon he's only in his 50's that's not old at all??
He wasn't old back when he worked for her
This man call the majesty '' liz'' . He make her birthday cake mixing it by hand. He is a savage
**Civilized*
And Queenie 😂😂😂
how uncivilised
Surely you jest (as he certainly was!)?
7:47 "As' you can see, it's quite a large cake"
*laughs in American*
And then he died from a heart attack
*laughs in diabeetus*
cries in Somali
as an american, my exact thought. i was like, ACTUALLY IT KIND OF LOOKS SMALL LOL.
As I refocused on the screen whilst asking “where???”
"So this year she'll be 94 or 188."
Wouldn't be surprised if she's actually 188
she's basically immortal
It was a joke, coz she has two birthdays each year as he mentions.
I wonder if William will have two birthdays or will they make his actual birthday the "official" birthday, as he was born in June.
@@kurtishall9492 i think it will be only one birthday, since it's in June
Deadass 😂
I have never heard the word “chocolate” so many times in the span of 1 minute (4:18-5:10)
That's 15 times!
You mean 00:01 to 11:11
He said it 13 times
Oh dear me
that's a drinking game waiting to happen
"We never put candles on the cake"
It is because the Queen's lifespan is endless.
They should make an infinity sign candle
I find this interesting in eastern culture it used to be seen blowing out your candles as blowing out your own light creating a darkness, but since western culture has taken over this view has slowly dimmed into history
This didnt age well
Are you happy now with this comment
chef reading out menu: choc-
queen: yes.
me seeing your profile picture: yes.

The secret is that she only has one small slice. Not one big slice. Not multiple small slices. Not multiple big slices.

Lol. Btw the person in your pfp looks awesome.

@@nazparveen1545 he's V from bts 😆
It's chocolate overload, and as a chocoholic myself, I love it!
I'm still kind of shocked that this simple-looking cake that looks like something I could buy at a supermarket is fit for royal birthdays. But maybe its allure is in its simplicity.
How generous is the Queen that she allows Chef Darren to reveal her family's recipe to the public!
They way he talks is like a nicer, calmer version of Gorden Ramsey😂
Haha I thought of Gordon Ramsey too.
RamsAy not RamsEy
They both brits so
It's The Queen's birthday tomorrow! How about we all bake her favorite birthday cake, raise a cup of tea and help her celebrate her 94th birthday while she self isolates at Windsor Castle
Ok
I made the cake it’s so good!
Caster Gil YES!
Why are you so obsessed with the queen? I am not speaking about the fact that she's your boss, but really, shes just.. Alive.
@@chileanyways4436 can I please have the recipe? Could not find it.
Cakes have layers... Like onions
“Hands like Shrek”- Darren McGrady at 03:30
I love how rustic and shockingly delicate that cake is.
I'm more amazed how he cut his cake with just a knife. No cake turner, no extra tool, no ruler. Amazing
hes one of the most experience cake makers in england really. He has a steady hand
no one cuts with a cake turner what u talking bout
@@bastebruno Right?
@@bastebruno he was referring to cutting it into three layers, not the slice of cake. plenty of bakers use a cake turner to cut their cakes into several layers
A cake turner is not for cutting cakes. It’s for putting whatever frosting you have on the cake.
Oh she actually likes a normal cake for humans
Normal human cake
Honestly tho I'd be curious if she could tell the difference between chocolate box cake with canned chocolate frosting (actual normal human cake😂) and this fancy ass cake 😂
@@MakiTheOriginal human cake
human cake💀💀
Let her eat cake
RIP Queen Elizabeth II, hope there is a chocolate cake waiting for you and Prince Philip up there.
Happy Birthday Liz! 😂 Darren is such a down-to-earth fellow. I can see whey some of the Royals wanted to visit him in the kitchen!
*The guy stops talking for 0.5 seconds*
Nobody:
The captions: orchestral music plays
ahahaha
B-Bruno what are you doing here watching a video about cake?
Mr. McGrady is so amazing because he just seems like he was just glad that he got to have the experiences he had and seems genuinely astonished that he even got to be the Royal Family's chef. Hope Delish can share more recipes and fun stories from him!
Thanks Ian, more to come
@@Darren_McGrady Coronation chicken PLEASE! I've had it at tea a couple of times and it's never the same when I make it
He has his own CZcams channel
A very happy birthday to HM The Queen! Hope she is enjoying her fav dessert today, with fond memories to keep her in good spirits in this trying time.
Mr. McGrady is always a pleasure to watch.
"...So this year she'll be 94, or... 188."
*The Queen being immortal officially confirmed*
Lol
Dont tell the Canadian prime minister she tell him off for making her feel so old.
love how the queens fave cake looks just like the chocolate cakes you can get for a fiver in tesco
But those ingredients would be closer to $500 😂
@@ReinventingTheSteve what ingredients? the ingredients on the video? Not even close to 20$. It's just: eggs, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, cream and tablets of chocolate to melt.
@@sneakybeaky1588 Assuming you have the tools to bake with and also an oven. Wouldn't taste the same. Also a shitton of experience in making frosting and spongecakes, to have a perfect texture. So yeah while the ingretients are cheap usually it's more about the quality of the final product that explains its cost.
This particular cake is legit one of the recipes that, if handmade by a michelin chef, can be sold easily for 40 or even more. Perfection has a price.
There are a ton of royal cakes that would cost more than 500 for this exact reason but with way more expensive ingredients, that also require way more experience and knowledge to bring all together to perfection. The cake in this vid is quite easy to master, hence why even if perfect it looks like any storebought chocolate cake.
@@GreyPunkWolf I think you're vastly overestimating the amount of skill required to make this. Anybody who's good at baking who has a stand mixer could easily do this. Hell, I've made a similar cake by hand with a whisk when i didn't have a mixer. Buckingham palace probably has some pretty nice chocolate though. That would be the main difference in flavour between the real deal and a cake made with grocery store chocolate.
I love the way his hand shot up to his mouth, after (not saying) "happy birthday, Liz!"
Chef: I am the royal chef of queen Elizabeth
Me: The secret recipe to queen immortality
I’ll be so sad when this series stops. PLEASE keep making these videos, with this guy, Delish. He’s so enjoyable to watch.
thanks Brianna
Darren McGrady Aaaaahhhh, I’m “fan-girling” over you responding to me! That’s so awesome! I can’t get enough of your videos and these Delish videos. And I think you see that others agree!
Hey you scrolling down the comments... Take care of yourself ok.
Ditto
thank u, you too!
Roger that
Thank you , you too
You too
He is a VERY good presenter. This was highly enjoyable.
The most calm and jolly chef. I Love him! 🥰
Imagine sending a birthday cake to the Queen that said "Happy Birthday Liz" on it lol would love that reaction
"All these damn commoners"
If anyone did it, I could see it being Harry. Those two joke around a lot.
They be sent to the tower of London
I've heard that the queen has a great sense of humour x
fun fact her nickname is actually lilybeth
"ive been told I got hands like Shrek" rip YOUR HANDS ARE BEAUTIFUL SIR DARREN MCGRADY!
Ha! Thanks Irene :)
Darren McGrady could you still make this but with a different flour?
@@Darren_McGrady SIR Darren? Were you knighted? She must have really loved that cake!!! Can’t blame her, it looks like something I wouldn’t mind eating all the time either.
are you saying Shrek has ugly hands?
He’s gonna have great stories to tell his grandchildren/great grandchildren.
Hi,how're you doing.?
The queen had such a beautiful birthday cake! RIP to the Queen and condolences to her family and to all those who loved her
The way the Queen looks at the chocolate at 0:40 😂
hahaha
"as you can see it's quite a large cake"
well call me a glutton i could eat that all in one sitting
I was thinking "Your the queen of bloody England - have. some. cake!!!"
American?
He told queen would eat in all through the week and send the remaining to the servants. The number of servants they and I can't imagine so many people eat from that large cake... it would be over at one time it self if it was my family
@@missjojo184 As an American, I agree with the op. That is a very tiny cake for a birthday. Maybe not single serving, but definitely not more than 2 perople.
@@tylerbrennon4023 you're not serious, are you? That's a cake for about 6 people 😳 it's not large but it's enough
The way he transferred that cake on the base is so smooth
You never put candles on the cake since fitting 94 candles on it is quite the task :)
Or you put one row of candles that is 9 candles and another row infront of it that has 4
I use numbered candles for birthdays, so, someones lets say 89? Just buy the number 8 and 9 then put them close to each other
*Darren McGrady:* it's quite a large cake
*Nobody:*
Me: that's not even big for me
shadow wolf true🤣
THANK YOU! Its only a single layer really! He cut one layer into 3 that doesnt count lol
@@jep9092 well, America's version large, and England's version are two very different ideas. And for a lady in her 90s, it certainly is plenty big enough.
@@Shadowmere445 I would Agree. Americans usually like big things as "Big!" but for me, that is big enough. Although I would say it is pretty big if I am the only one going to eat it but it's a normal size for a party.
ikr? That'd be a single person cake in the U.S. xD
Since she likes bland food & isn't big on sweets, it makes sense she likes chocolate cake. I'm the same. I don't eat sweets, except for chocolate cake and brownies
Chocolate is my favourite but I also love sweets. And I doubt anything the queen eats is 'bland'
She doesn't LIKE bland food, the royal family have certain things they can and can't eat incase they get ill.
I could hear him all day and not get bored.
Maybe, she only has a little slice because of just how rich that cake is.
I like to think it's so there's plenty left over for the servants.
I love listening to him talk & he makes everything look and sound delicious. Just adore him.
aww thank you :)

Queen: so you have chosen death
I’m not going to lie, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this man’s cooking show. And he adds such helpful tips and has a cool personality and is such a great teacher, I’d be entertained sitting through hours of baking lessons with him.
