Product placement

Hershey's (brand of chocolate frosting) - used to make chocolate icing for a cake. Removing it would change the final product. KitchenAid Artisan (stand mixer) - used to mix cake batter. Removing it would change the process. Glass baking dish (9x13 inch) - used to bake the cake. Removing it would change the process.

Transcript

One of my favorite cakes is a yellow cake with chocolate icing. Let's make this super viral yellow cake with chocolate cake recipe. Throw the box instructions out the window. Cake mix goes in. Cup of milk. Stick of melted butter. Four eggs. Let's go mix it up. She said use a 9 by 11 but I couldn't find one so we're just gonna use a 9 by 13. We're gonna bake this at 350 for 36 to 37 minutes. Let's get her in the oven. This cake smells divine. It literally smells like a bakery in my house right now. She knows what she's talking about. This cake smells absolutely divine. We're gonna let it cool all the way and then we're gonna add the chocolate icing. She's cool. She said you gotta do the Betty Crocker Hershey's. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds and let it soften up. Don't get it too hot. All right, we're gonna pour this all on top of our cake. And then we're gonna spread it out. And then we're gonna cut into it. That is good. It's like so fluffy. That's good.
