I've never seen a video where they intentionally make mistakes and show you how it turns out. Hands down, the best guide ever !

Claire could literally make a video of her messing up every cake and I would still watch, follow her lead, and eat my messed up cake because that's what Claire said to do.

So I made the coconut caramel cake and these are the ingredient amounts for the cake batter of the cake frosting the cake soak and a cake filling. Also when your making it, make sure that the consistency is similar to the videos in each step. These are the measurements for half the recipient which turned out to be a lot. CAKE BATTER -1 1/2 cup baking flour -3/4 cup sugar -1 tsp baking powder -1 tsp baking soda -pinch of salt -1 stick of butter -tsp of vanilla -3/4 cup butter milk -1/4 cup oil -2 whole eggs plus 3 egg whites COCONUT FILLING -sugar 3/4 cup - 1/4 cup coconut oil -1 cup shredded coconut -1/2 cup heavy cream -pinch of salt COCONUT MILK SOAK -1/2 can coconut milk -1/4 cup sugar -pinch of salt -tsp vanilla COCONUT FROSTING I didn’t use their recipe -1 1/2 cup heavy cream whipped -vanilla -1 can of sweeten condensed milk -toasted coconut for the outside of the cake Hope this helped
