The Great Depression Cake, Best Southern Cooking Tutorials

Check our healthy recipes https://swarmstech.groovepages.com/cookingandrecipes. Did your mama ever talk about the Great Depression Cake? There is a chocolate one, but this is the one that seems to be the most popular one. It has raisins, nuts, and apples simmered in a strong coffee before mixing up the cake. It was delicious and reminded Chris of gingerbread (but I didn't put ginger in it).

DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was an amazing cook as well, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen.

Hello and I am just thrilled that you joined us today! My name is Tammy, and I want to teach you how to cook like my mama. She was an amazing cook and baker and all of us kids can cook up some good food.
After many years of being complimented on my food, I decided to make some videos to teach my own children how to cook. I am a cancer survivor and wanted them to have a way to learn even if my life was cut short.
So Collard Valley Cooks began in the summer of 2017. Many of my older videos show just what an armature I was at making video content. However, after much encouragement from my viewers I created three cookbooks and have come a long way.
Today, our videos are in HD with more quality sound, and not only that I have learned so many tips from viewers just like YOU!
I really believe I am an even better cook thanks to you all and appreciate your encouragement. Being a YouTuber takes lots of patience, time, determination, thick skin and so much more, but the true joy comes from the stories from my viewers. Many of you mean so much to us.
