Laura, I learned this tip from my aunt…..use sugar instead of flour in your greased pan. It won’t leave a white film & you get a tiny bit of crunch! It works just as well. Love all the information that you share!
Awesome tip! Thanks I will use your tip!😊
Great idea! Thank you 😊
I do this !
Great tip..Thank You for sharing
Thank you! I'm going to try that out. Great tip!
6:40 a.m. central time. Love this video and will be making this recipe. Couple of hints. Pour glaze over cake while it's in the pan while its warm. Yes, on the bottom. You don't waste a drop and it all soaks in. When you remove it, pour another round of glaze. I ALWAYS use dark rum and add extra to the glaze recipe.
I would do this also
Laura, I love how you taught us to romance the ordinary taking time to clean the table, light candles and enjoy the cake. A wonderful way to think and enjoy the garden.
I would have cleared a small spot... but not Laura! Clear the whole table, clean it, place a centerpiece there, AND light the candles before eating that cake! Wow!
Another option to make the cake more moist…while it’s still in the pan, poke holes and pour half of the glaze over the holes and let it sit for an hour before turning out of pan onto a plate/cake stand…then pour remaining glaze over. This way no glaze is wasted and the cake gets a chance to soak it all up.
Kudos to Aaron for shelling all the pistachios! What a man!! 😅
Treasure these times with Benjamin 1 on 1! It is good to make memories with each child. They will remember! What a joy filled time you had. ❤❤
My uncle has a lemon tree. He sends us a box of lemons every year and they are the best lemons I've ever had. My mom visited him one year and brought back a lemon almost as big as her head. NEVER in my life have i ever seen a lemon so big
They might be ponderosa lemons. They’re huge
The cake looks so yummy. I always evaluate my new recipes like you did as well. Your kids are so precious. I couldn’t have any but I enjoy my nieces and love watching yours. I saved Samantha’s video of her giggling in the grass from last year with Benjamin and when I miss hearing a child or need a pick me up I listen to her giggling. I don’t have any video of my nieces from when they were little but Samanthas laugh makes me smile & lifts my spirits. So thank you a 1000% for that.
Hello Laura, I always look forward to this type of video in your winter months when there is a little bit of decorating, harvesting and cooking. There is something soothing about it and it captures the season perfectly: peace, reflection and connection to loved ones. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🎄
I love how normal you are you make us feel welcome watching you I just can’t thank you enough for all your knowledge and sharing your family with all of us I’ve learned so much and there’s nothing better than a cuppa coffee and garden answer. Have a beautiful week.
I love watching you bake with Benjamin. That is how it should be-kids helping, learning and having fun.
Oh, Laura, thanks for bringing us along baking with Benjamin. It's always a precious time. And the reward is amazing!
My kids are 18 and 23, and this year, our 23 year old has jumped right in and taken on the baking for me and coordinating our Christmas Eve lunch with my family. The 18 year old is coordinating Christmas day dinner for me! My year has been crazy busy, and I so appreciate it all!!
Benjamin is such a treasure. ❤
Laura, your vlogs are so enjoyable and informative. They have been an anticipated and enjoyable part of my day ever since I discovered you years ago. Any chance you would do a an episode about the various insect pests that attack our plants , as well as how to identify and treat them. I’ve found ignoring and hope they go away isn’t working for me.
OMG!!!!!
She added burlap, greenery, branches!!!!!!
I thought she was going to add only the pretty plants!!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Benjamin's 'sugar and slurp' is so precious! He's a gem!
I laughed out loud at his cute gestures this morning he’s is great kid and alway ready for action!
Great job Benjamin and mommy❣️🥮☕️🍋🍋🍋
I am in S'ern Spain and the citrus trees have the exact same conditions you describe for your greenhouse. It gets down to 41⁰ at night for 4 months and then up into the high 60s during most days. Granted, some trees i am referring to are trees trees, but many of us have citrus trees that stay outdoors growing in containers, during those conditions and they do just fine. Just in case you'd rather not risk moving them into the Hartley in case the scale makes a comeback ❤
Use your window ledges more when you re-organize. Your plants are so pretty sitting on the window ledge as are they all! Love your Mom time with your children - so endearing and heart warming ❤❤❤❤❤
Why could I watch Laura groom plants all day?!❤
Good morning Laura and Benjamin! Laura, in my opinion, spiced rum is more potent and also if you want the taste, cooking it is evaporating the alcohol and the taste is not as powerful! I almost always make a simple syrup and add the rum after I take it off the fire and then pour over the cake of course poking some holes works better to infuse it. Now because of the kids you can make some syrup and add to your slice and that will be amazing! When you add syrup of any kind it's best if the cake is slightly warm it absorbs better ! Try it! It's yummy 😋!
Hugs and Blessings ❤🤗❤️
What a good example of self-care. You went out to the Heartly and remembered the houseplants and said, "oh we'll have to take a minute to clear a space." And then took the time to clear and clean the whole table so you could sit and actually relax and enjoy the cake and coffee. So many times we try to grab a minute for ourselves but then can't relax and enjoy it because all we see is what's not done. Good job!
Laura, if you flip the grater over when zesting the lemon, you can see exactly where you're zesting and avoid the bitter white pith. Also, you'll see that the tool is constructed to hold the zest so it doesn't fall out until you're ready to use it. Hope this helps. That cake looks delicious! ~ Lisa
Great tipp! Thanks Lisa😊
The time with Benjamin is so precious. He is growing so fast and before you know he will be grown.
Definitely makes this type of cake more moist, pouring the glaze over it while warm. Love watching you and Benjamin spending quality time together. Folks, Laura potted the little Avocado tree high😂💜
That recipe sounds amazing! One tip I've learned from using almond flour for baking is this: since it is so dense, separate the eggs and beat the whites, whip the yolkes, and then fold them together before folding into the nut flour. This works well for almond flour and should be equally helpful in lifting the pistachio flour you created for a fluffier final result.
Great tip!
It’s so lovely to see your garden views from the Hartley. It’s what it’s for… to sit “outdoors” during a time of year when you actually can’t be outdoors with cake and coffee. It’s precious.
That cake looks awesome, and I make rum cake every Christmas ! I think poking some holes would be delicious without even trying it because lemon and pistachio are chefs kiss together! Love how Benjamin was so interested! ❤
Seeing Benjamin sneek a spoonful of sugar and cover his ears reminds me of baking with my grandson! And they are about the same age❤
Morning from the UK 🙂 I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the look you gave Benjamin when he was about the eat the sugar 🤣Cake looks delicious. I love rum cake too. Have you tried a recipe for dark rum cake?
The time you spend with both Benjamin and Samantha is precious! Thank you for sharing it with us!
My favourite kind of video, plants and cooking! You are bringing up a fine, sensitive young boy there, so beautiful to see. 😊
Add rum to the glaze for more rum flavor. Thank you for the tips on growing citrus. I plan to get a lemon tree when our new sunroom is completed.
The Hartley is Laura’s woman cave. So nice to have a place to just chill.
aaa Special Laura just love Benjamin and you together. My lemon tree still has flower and hopefully I will get lemons as well. Ha ha Russel came for cake and coffee 😀
Love seeing Benjamin helping with the cooking. You too have been partners since he was just a little one, great Team! Thanks for sharing this Laura. I just love how you just keep it real, second guessing yoyr cake lol no matter what it's always a great experience for both you and Benjamin ❤
The cake looks delicious!! The floral arrangement looks simple but beautiful ❤
There’s something about this white and green- so neat and simple and still gorgeous 😍
Love the variety and of course seeing your helper. What a wonderful way to start the day.
Benjamin is a sweet little boy. The cake looks yummy. The center piece looks so pretty for the Holidays.
Baking with Benjamin was fun to watch the interaction while you were preparing the lemon pistachio cake! Both the cake and the centerpiece came out looking beautiful! Enjoy celebrating the holidays with your family!
Enjoying nicely baked cake in the Hartley! How can you beat that? 😊 😋
Merry Christmas, Garden Answer Family! This year is the first time I grew Butternut Squash (not my hubby's fav) and first year making Dulce de Calabasa (candied pumpkin/squash). Although major sweet, I plan to make it part of my Christmas tradition. Love & Peace to all!
Anytime you have a bundt or a heavier cake like that you should absolutely poke some holes with a narrow metal or wooden skewer and drizzle the glaze over it so that it can permeate throughout the cake. Also if you put a baking sheet under that wire rack you can easily capture the excess glaze and spatula it into a bowl or such, reheat it and glaze again after some time has passed.
That cake looks amazing. I think I would add a little bit of sour cream would help make it less dry. Can’t wait to try it.
Laura you are a true inspiration
It touches my heart to watch your interactions with family
Family is everything
Bless you and family
Will try the cake thank you
The potting mix does not disappear. Potting mix and compost are organic matter which continually decompose completely down to their chemical elements, like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and such. Some of which the plants use for growth and development, and some are gases that get released into the atmosphere. This is why plants sink in their pots and the trees sink in their planting hole. If you are interested, look into nutrient cycling, nitrification and denitrification. It's all very fascinating!
My local citrus grower says his rule of thumb for fertilizing is, " start 1st application on presidents day(feb 19th) end on Labor day(sept 1)" . So thats 1x a month equals 8 applications of citrus food a growing season.
Thank you for sharing the information on the fertilizing regimen for citrus. Looking forward to a lemon and lime harvest.
Good morning!🌻🐝
You need to try a browned butter Kentucky bourbon cake. It is absolutely delish
Those lemons looked gorgeous. Every time I go to California, I love picking lemons from my sisters tree and adding to my water each day. Loved how you "Romanced the Ordinary" and ate your cake in the Hartley!
Love how you interact with your children. Seems you always make time to be with them, wonder if that is why on a few of your shows you mention: I’m out of time. Do you schedule your time each day between, family, tapping, gardening, house chores, Aaron time.
If so are you flexible if things don’t go as planned. Which is most of my days.
Benjamin melts my heart , such a careful little man . Loved the center piece!
I like the simpler approach you have taken this year in your arrangements for Christmas. Having said that, I also made 2 Williamsburg style urns for Christmas last year, based on the ones you had made for your front door. I used all artificial goods, as I wanted them to last for years. I loved them so much, they stay in our entrance year round! I always come away with some sort of inspiration from your videos!
What a blessing to work with all the beautiful people, plants,and objects to feed your creativity and love
That cake looks delicious and is supposed to be heavy, dense and delicious, just how it looks ! Wonderful video, thank you.
Absolutely love to see Benjamin in the kitchen helping mom. So fun . ❤
Such sweet memoriable moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good Morning! 🎅 Love Benjamin sneaking a taste of sugar! That Cyclamen centerpiece is beautiful - love it!! The Lemon cake looks delicious! Now to go top dress, my lemon tree! 🙂🥰🍋🎄🤍💚🌿
We love Benjamin’s me time too; he is a really great baker! So attentive! Thanks for sharing!
Laura, I agree with a couple of other comments,regarding the "complete video." I bake a vanilla rum cake which calls for chopped pecans in the bottom of the pan then a rum glaze on top. Much of the glaze does settle in the cake dish as it cools and I do prick the cake with a fork many times right before spooning on the glaze. Next time I will try pouring the glaze on while the cake is still in the pan as well as after it is removed. I like to serve it with homemade whipped cream. It cuts the sweetness of the glaze.
I'm so glad I stumbled on Garden Answers several years ago. I do so enjoy it,
Nice video. Benjamin is a momma's boy! Love it❤ thanks for lighting the candles for us. So pretty.
Benjamin is such a character 😝 🫡
Beautiful, interesting, productive video. I loved it that Laura devoted time to teaching Benjamin how to bake one-on-one. My favorite part was Russell sneaking into the Hartley. Gorgeous cyclamen centerpiece!
Orange ranchers daughter here ! Use snippet to pick .. My sisters are growing lemons, oranges and avocados .😂
So pretty. Every video is like Where's Waldo? One or more of the cats is always in there somewhere. You might have to look hard / rewind but they're there! Merry Christmas to all of you. Thank you for brightening our lives
What a perfect Christmas video! Thanks for sharing the cake with us in the Hartley! I really enjoyed that you shared the cake-making process, including Benjamin! He’s a dear child!❤❤❤
Great video Laura! Love when you share with us a video of you baking or cooking! I have made some of your recipes after watching you make them. Loved the kitchen island center piece too! I’m really into greens, whites & gold for Christmas this year!
I love watching Benjamin helping you, it reminds me of my son who is 30 and married when he used to help me out too! Best wishes for a peaceful and joyous holiday! 🎄🎁
Benjamin is such a doll! 😂 I couldn't agree more, when it comes to sugar.
What a relaxing video to watch! Loved that you and Benjamin had a special time together. But the best part was watching Benjamin lick a spoon with sugar which brought back a great memory. Why? Because my daughter, now 32, did exactly the same at an even younger age than he. She would push a chair to the counter, climb up, knock down the sugar bowl and eat it, licking the counter clean and power away running like a crazed animal around the house. This all because our son, babysitting her ostensibly, would be too involved in his computer game to bother checking on his sister even as she zoomed by him repeatedly. And that, in a nutshell is why sugar bowls were banned from our kitchen counter for years, not to mention hiring babysitters instead from then on, lol!
I love that you made Benjamin and Mom time! I’m going to try the recipe! Excellent video as always!❤️😎🌸
You and Benjamin made a beautiful pistachio cake! Yum! He is an awesome helper in the kitchen and the garden! Love both of your amazingly sweet children!💕🎄💕
There is a wonderful lemon cake, made by Darren McGrady (former chef to Queen Elizabeth!) he calls Lemon Drizzle cake.. he does just what you were talking about with poking holes in the top while the cake is still warm. So yummy. Maybe with your next lemon harvest!!! Thanks for your wonderful videos!
I love how polite she was with her comments on the Rum Cake. I think the "hidden message" was that she was not really a fan but did not want to be negative about the recipe. Love the interaction with Benjamin.
Baking tip for you...
When you zest a lemon (or other citrus), turn the ester up and run the fruit across the bottom. The ester will catch all the zest and you can measure it easier.
I think we all love your sweet Benjamin! 💙 I remember your pregnancy announcement for him, also how many of us already knew, and how excited you and Aaron were. It makes me smile.
When I was a young mom I was always romancing the ordinary but had gotten away from it. Thanks to the years of watching you and your mom I’m doing that again and it makes life really sweet again. Thank you Laura for being so open in sharing your heart with us!
ps: Country Living has a Pistachio Lemon Bundt Cake that has four eggs rather than just three. I haven’t tried it but I’m sure the extra egg would make a big difference to the density.
Enjoying watching your gardens AND children grow! Benjamin the chef and Samantha the artist. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Here in south Alabama our winters are typically highs between 75/80 and lows of 45/50. This means we are blessed to be able to plant our citrus in the ground and they are absolutely fine with those temps! The only time we have to cover them is if it dips below 32. You seem to have created a balmy zone 9 in your plastic greenhouse!
Look at your pink geraniums... gurlfriend! How cheery for the new year. Next time poke a bunch of holes for your glaze to soak into the cake... with your skewer. That is how you make that kind of heavy cake be lighter and super moist then!! And cake bakers sneak more real rum in the glaze.... to taste of course! Sounds so good!!! Happy Christmas to all of you!
You should put a small shelf in the Hartley on the horizontal beam on the wall above your sink. You could put the house plants/cactus on it. The plants are so small and the wall is so big I don’t think it would seem overwhelming. That would free up a lot of space for you!
I think the greenhouse is GLORIOUS!! But totally agree y’all need more unique shelving to house all those beautiful plants!! Have yall thought of shelves above? If you lined them up with the roof line you wouldn’t see them outside. Even just two smaller shelves on the corner peaks would look beautiful with all that terracotta up there! Absolutely love that rounded plant stand hopefully you can use somewhere else!
Laura, if you see this, I have a lemon muffin recipe that uses basically the same glaze. They are glazed hot, which traps steam in it and stops it being dry. I tend to dunk the muffins in a container of glaze, to make sure I cover the entire top. Maybe that would help.😊
I think your idea of poking many holes into the cake before adding the glaze would definitely be a good idea... maybe even before you take it out of the pan... then let it sit covered up overnight before cutting to eat... that is how my grandmother did it with her orange cake, anyway. 😉😃
I poke holes on the cake while it is still on the pan and pour the glaze over it. Wait a bit and then turn it over. Also, I use a box of pistachio pudding instead of the raw nuts. It gives the cake a smoother texture and it is delicious. My favorite cake!!🎂
That was so funny with Benjamin. I was at a friend's house, we were making cookies. My daughter Samantha was about 3 years old, and she leaned over onto the table and took a bite out of the stick of butter. Memories, my Sammy is now 40 years old. Love your videos. Just can't get enough of them ❤
Try poking holes with a skewer about an inch deep onto the surface of the cake when glazing with these tasty , juicy toppings 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
To add larger potted plants in the Hartley, maybe you can add the glass shelves to the Hartley like the one you saw at the garden show last year for the smaller plants. Or add hanging plants utilizing a pulling system.
How is benjamin the most wholesome helper ever?! I hope he keeps it up!!
Brenda from tropical Qld here, with that cake a dog of cream would be delicious. Or even a cream cheese icing. We use a lot of lemon recipe’s here. They keep very moist which is lovely.
She is a good little gardener ❤
I'm on team move the citrus to The Hartley! Think of how lovely it would be to walk into it and have that fresh citrus scent in the air... you'll need to keep a small knife and cutting board in there, too, for when you want to add a squeeze of citrus juice to some of the fancy cocktails you make up as well 😉
Benjamin is so cute cooking with you and it's great to see you spending quality time together as a family. I'm just curious because I was listening to a podcast the other day about children that grew up on social media (in CZcams videos, Instagram, and now TikTok): do you ever worry about your kids and strangers? Since it's easy for people to find out the kids' names? My parents had a "codeword" they would give friends if we ever needed to be picked up from school/scouts by someone different. The idea being parents would tell the person the codeword and we could ask and if the person didn't know the codeword, we weren't to go with them. Granted, the only time we ever actually used it was when I was in college and my phone malfunctioned and sent an SOS in error. You're very good with your kids of course, but I do worry about the sweet munchkins 😅
Think the desert would be delicious love the centerpiece that you just put together of course always awesome at what you do
talk to you soon I hope💙💗❣️👍
Such an inspiring way to start my day!!! I love watching your video's and it is so wonderful to get to see Benjamin and Samantha learning so many new things!!! 🥰😘
Though I’m not a baker, and sometimes not particularly interested in your winter time garden projects, I still watch faithfully because of your upbeat attitude and the wholesome family vibes. Keep it up. Warm wishes to you and yours.
One of may favorite "desserts" my Granny made for us: a half a lemon and a saucer of sugar. Dip and lick. Bet BenjaMAN would LOVE it! 🍋😍
Benjamin was so cute helping!
Very pretty flower arrangement. Fairy lights would be pretty on the sticks.
Old Country Roses! My favorite pattern.
Das macht Dein Video manchmal zu etwas besonderen mit Russel zum Beispiel, liebe Laura...lass den Dingen seinen lauf😂Herzlichen Dank für das besonders schöne Video und schön mit Euch gebacken zu haben...Anja from Germany ❤❤❤
Good and blessed evening everyone!!
❤ wonderful baking with Benjamin 👦
Be you are so cute and what fun to help your mommy bake. I use to babysit my two grandsons and they lived to help measure and taste test what we were creating. My one grandson loved helping measure and the other loved tasting the butter. So much fun and thank God for a vacuum to clean up their mess. 💙
