    Considering Minecraft's bricky world, it is hilariously appropriate that the game recipe resulted in a brick of a cake.

      You reminded me when my mom tried to bake her first sponge cake, but forgot the raising powder. It wasn't even close to be "soft", it was literally solid and hard like a brick, not even the hamster or the collar doves wanted the crumbs of it. XD XD XD XD

      @@RejectedInch Can relate. Your mum must have been crushed. When I did it all my 20 years of life flashed before my eyes, while contemplating the choices I made I wondered if there is value in continuing living if I can't even remember to put in the baking agent I had already measured and put aside, and didn't realize it until it was fully baked.

    Assuming she doesn't play Minecraft, can we appreciate that she took the time to actually put some effort into making this cake? I feel like other RUclipsrs would have found the recipe and ignored the game for context whatsoever, but Ann makes it clear that effort was put in

This isn't even mentioning the unnecessary safety issues that some of the recipes can cause. The Minecraft cake recipe definitely works better, seeing as it at least produced a safe edible cake. Not a super delicious one, but it's still an actual cake. The best part is that no microwaves released a cloud of thick smoke in the process!

      @@americanoice8347 I appreciate her as well. I just get a little annoyed when people start confusing the brand with the person. People who are good at business do the extra little things that keep customers coming back. The fact that it would seem Ann is genuinely a decent person only makes her brand more authentic, which keeps customers coming back. If you didn't like the person in the videos your wouldn't watch the videos, which means: a) personal brands try to be likeable and engaging, and b) people who are genuinely likable and engaging (and rigorous in this case) tend to have more authentic brand presence and more engagement from their audience.
      I'm not saying Ann or anyone else is necessarily cold and calculated and lying about who they are to get views. I tend to think she's probably a lot like the person we see on screen. But I think it's important for consumers to be able to parse the difference.

      You allow one bushel of wheat to get wet and then leave it to start fermenting, from which you are able to harvest yeast (its more liquidy in this form as used in old brewing). Bread can be made with just flour, yeast, and a bit of water. So if you've got the moist yeast from the bushel you've allowed to ferment, that could count as the liquid (there will be some alcohol content, but that will cook off).
      There you go. Bread. :)

      First breads were indeed just ground wheat mixed with water and put into a patty and baked. The yeast came later (IRL the Egyptians were the first ones to capture yeast for bread, but beer already existed prior to that point so we were capturing yeast for beer. But not bread.)

    Even funnier thing about the volume of milk: the buckets of milk appear to be about as full as when the same bucket is filled with water.

      @@reeyohontop A "mod" is a modification of the game's code, made by players. Modders are the people that develop the mods.
      Now, mods can do a number of changes to the game, but most of all, a popular category is the one that makes crafting items a more complex process involving more ores, machines, tools (all added by these mods) that ends up with special items players can hold as a kind of prize for their effort.
      For example, flour is made by putting wheat on a crafting table. That's too simple, so let's make a grinder. And the grinder needs special blades and some wood as well. The blades need to be made by forging the metal, or by casting it, so let's make a stencil to cast some iron. The resulting powder from running the wheat through the grinder needs to be sifted too, because it contains the flour but it's mixed with the husk. So lets make a sifter with thin metallic wires and a metallic or wooden frame. Or let's poke holes on a wooden or metallic bowl. Both of these would need special tools, one method requires a device for making the wires and a way of attaching them to a frame, the other needs a device that will poke holes on the bowl.
      That's just for the flour. Imagine, then, making all the needed ingredients for the second cake, from scratch. It would take ages, but the journey might be worth it.

    I don’t know why but I always saw the the Minecraft cake as an old fashioned pound cake. A pound cake is called a pound cake because it used to be made with a lb of each ingredient like a lb of flour, a lb of eggs and so on. Not sure why I associated that with the Minecraft cake but to me it just kind of makes sense.
