I made this recipe for a dinner party and it was a huge hit i took two left over slices to a friends the next day and they were raving about for days Best dessert ever
I made this yesterday. I used two boxes of cake mix. But made it according to this recipe, bourbon and all. Had friends from church over. This cake was a hit.
The wife and I made this recipe for our family’s Fourth of July party and everybody loved it! We even used a different yellow cake mix but kept the same recipe from the video and it turned out awesome!
I just made this cake. Unbelievable. So easy and so good. The recipe online calls for a 9 inch cast iron skillet though. I used a 12 inch and it barely held all the cake batter. Maybe a typo on the website. Regardless, this may be one of the best cakes I've ever had. Used Buffalo Trace bourbon and added a couple of tablespoons of the pineapple juice. AMAZING.
I made this yesterday and it turned out great. I did substitute the ½ cup of bourbon with ½ cup of spiced rum and added a little more brown sugar. This will definitely be my go to dessert.
I made this a week ago on my Kamado Joe, with the same cake mix and followed the recipe exactly. Everything came out exactly as in the video, but the cake was REALLY dense, and had this "eggy" texture, and I didn't pick up the bourbon flavor at all despite using a half cup of Pendleton Midnight. I could only find the cake mix at Walmart, so I bought two boxes. I'll remake it again, but with one less egg in it than what the recipe on the box calls for.
I like that you do all the courses of the bbq meal. Great stuff man. Oh and I am a director of a church camp in Texas and my daughter was sitting next to me while I was teaching a Bible class and she tapped my shoulder and said “look at John’s shirt.” John was wearing a Meat Church shirt and I was like, why don’t I have a Meat Church shirt…🤦🏼♂️
I have that same exact pan, I used the recipe by the book, but I had way too much cake batter. I saw that yours fit in the pan with no issue…. I dumped my batter in the pan and it filled my pan to the top. Needless to say, it bubbled over and it took mine about 1.5 hours to get done. I used 1 cup milk 1/4 cup bourbon and 1/4 pineapple juice. I used the house oven to give it my first try and I must say it was damn good. Just enough bourbon to taste it but not to much to overwhelm it. I will do this again and cook it on my drum tomorrow or Sunday. Great recipe. Quick and easy.
I’ve been doing this recipe for a couple years now. The only difference is, mine calls for water not milk, I use all the juice from the pineapple can, cup of bourbon the fill the rest with water to make the 2 cups of liquid. Comes out great every time. I also use a chunk or 2 of pecan.
I love your videos! I like seeing another dessert thrown in, I made the pecan cobbler and it was a hit. Your videos have helped me become the envy of the neighborhood! Please keep them coming.
Love your recipes and tips…doing some pulled pork this weekend “making it my own” as you say along with your chocolate pecan cobbler and smoked baked beans….thanks again.
My Mamaw always made pineapple upside down cake growing up in Garland...it must be a southern/Texan thang...great recipe, thank you Matt, Happy 4th of July
Years ago, there was a BBQ joint in Oklahoma City called Leo’s. They made a killer cake that had a banana pudding frosting with strawberry slices baked into the cake. You had to get there early if you wanted a slice. Not sure how it would do on a smoker, but it might be worth a try.
My Grandmother was a Betty Crocker test kitchen back in the 1930’s My Dad told me he loved her baking Im71 yrs old now I think you would make Betty Proud got this video saved to repeat
Glad to see some of your "non-meat" recipes. You have plenty of grills to have several fired up at once. But how would you cook a whole meal on a Weber kettle? Not me. I have one 22" Kettle. So, the meat course is something I usually do low and slow. What would you do after you take off the meat (brisket/tri-tip, ribs, etc.) and move on to other items? When switching to grilling some vegetables and other food (read NOT SLOW) items, I have difficulty getting the second stage right when switching to gears while the meat is resting. How do you go from a two-zone setup for the meat to a one-zone setup for the rest?
G'Day Matt. First off I love watching your videos, so enjoy your sense of humor and your presentations. I loved the simplicity of this dessert and will add it to the list of things to try to make. And yes i will make my own by using Rum instead of Bourbon. Maybe a cherry liquor with Cherry pellets I love your advice and appreciate the time taken to create these videos you make for us. I was looking at what smoker to buy when i stumbled onto your channel and watched a clip with you and Chad Ward smoking on a Traeger Timberline XL. I had been looking at the Ironwood XL and after your video i was sold on the Ironwood and so to was my wonderful wife Jodie. Jodie and I use your videos as guides as we are absolutely rookies when it comes to smoking. pretty much 100% success so far. So love our traeger so much, am having serious heath problems at the moment(which i intend to beat) and your Vids help take my mind off them and relax. Thank you for that I was wondering if you have done a Veal Rib Rack. I'm going to try doing one starting tomorrow morning for dinner at around 6:00 pm. and thought i'd do it similar to the Texas Sugar Dry Ribs video. I would really enjoy your take on doing similar ribs. I have managed to find a source for some Meat Church Rubs and have Voodoo, Texas Sugar, Honey Bacon BBQ and Honey Hog BBQ. Cheers from Jodie and Bruce from Down-under In Australia
Make a bourbon sugar glaze with a splash of vanilla and pour it on after it is cooked. The glaze should be sugar heavy enough that it crystallizes over time. If you're going to do a thang, do the thang all the way.
My mawmaw used to make a rum cake every Christmas. When she pulled it out of the oven, she poked holes in it and and poured raw rum all over the top. All of us kids loved that cake. 🥴
If you can get some, the Pursuit distillery only release double oak would go really good in it. It’s very vanilla/carmel forward (way more than their standard). Fell in love with it when I was there for a barrel pick (actually picked 3). As a side note, would love the see a bourbon and bbq collab between you and @Brewzle.
@@MeatChurchBBQthis was us at the barrel pick. Did the whole shebang experience in the morning, and picked 3 barrels in the afternoon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yutd7zKS9FA.htmlsi=ene82RAJ9RzbQ1hB
Testing this out RIGHT NOW!!!!! Hopefully it comes out good, I didn't read the box of yellow cake before I bought and it said one cup of water. So I used two boxes so I did 3/4 bourbon and 1 cup and 1/4 bourbon. Hopefully this all evens out man
Pineapple Upside cake is one of my favorites. I'm definitely trying this one. I've got 12 pounds of fresh peaches. Wonder how that work in place of the pineapple. Peaches and bourbon don't sound like a bad combo.
I freakin LOVE pineapple upside down cake. Pursuit bourbon: tell me more. Give me a favor profile. Also; 100% agree: I hope it doesn't cook down and puts my kids to bed.
