Hi, everyone!
I know I tell you I’m excited about every episode of You’re Home with Jill that’s coming up, but tomorrow’s episode features a VERY special guest…my mom.
I’m so lucky that my mom lives close by…I love spending time with her, my kids love their grandma, and I’m just so grateful to have such a close relationship with her. She’s given me the tools to be a good wife, mother, and friend. And without her, I wouldn’t be me.
I convinced her to join me for Wednesday’s episode because our topic is preparing for a family brunch! And not only did she come, but she came bearing her original recipe for Sock It To Me Cake.
Of course I asked her to help me make it...it's always easier when you're cooking with someone don't you think? Here’s how it went:
Sock It To Me Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2–1 Tbsp cinnamon, to taste
- 1-1/2 Tbsp nuts (such as pecans)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
Beat the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and oil for three minutes with a hand or stand mixer. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts in a small bowl. Sprinkle the nut mixture on top of the batter in the pan and then pour the rest of the batter on top. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Doesn’t it look delicious? I’ve got three more recipes to share with you in tomorrow’s episode…Raspberry Lemonade, Broccoli Chicken Casserole, and homemade bread you bake in little terracotta pots! They're ADORABLE. If you missed Friday’s blog, be sure and check out my yellow and white buffet table, which is our main DIY project for the show. You can watch the episode anytime tomorrow on QVC.com. If you’re tuning in on QVCPLUS, it’s on at 7pm ET.
From my home to yours,
—Jill
