**Introducing Helix Sleep: Premium Mattresses Customized to Your Needs**

Greetings, my beautiful lovelies! It's Emmy, and I'm thrilled to welcome you back to today's video. Today, we're going to explore one of my favorite sponsors, Helix Sleep, the makers of premium mattresses that are tailored to fit your preferences and needs. These mattresses are not only comfortable but also conveniently delivered right to your doorstep.

To get started, I took the Helix Sleep quiz, which matched me with the perfect mattress for my needs as a side sleeper who prefers a firmer style mattress. The sleep quiz is an excellent tool that will help you find the ideal mattress for you and your partner. My husband also took the quiz, and we were surprised to find that our sleep preferences weren't as different as we thought. The Helix Sleep team worked with us to create a customized solution that met both of our needs.

We've been using the Helix Sleep Dusk Luxe mattress for almost two years now, and it's been a game-changer for our family. We were in desperate need of an upgrade from our old mattress, which we inherited from someone else. The new mattress has significantly improved our sleep quality, and we wake up feeling well-rested and supported. Our entire family is now sleeping on Helix Sleep mattresses, and it's been a huge improvement.

One of my favorite features of the Helix Sleep mattress is that it comes rolled up and packaged in a cardboard box, making it easy to maneuver and install, even in narrow spaces like our staircase. Another advantage is that the mattress is fiberglass-free, which is a must for me. Additionally, Helix Sleep offers a 100-night sleep trial, so you can try out your new mattress risk-free. They also have a 10-year warranty, financing options, flexible payment plans, and free shipping for U.S. customers.

**The Sad Cake Recipe: A Vintage Treat**

Now, let's move on to a sweet treat that I'm excited to share with you all – the sad cake recipe. This recipe was sent to me by PJ, who forgot to reach out to me, but still wanted to share this vintage treat. The name "sad cake" might sound unusual, but trust me when I say it's delicious and worth trying.

One of the main ingredients in this recipe is Bisquick, a baking mix that you can find here in the U.S. You can use it to make pancakes, biscuits, or other quick breads. In the case of the sad cake, we'll be using Bisquick as our base ingredient. I'm intrigued by the idea of this recipe and can't wait to share the results with you all.

That's it for today's video, lovelies! Thank you for watching, and don't forget to check out Helix Sleep for your premium mattress needs.

Bisquick.And this contains \"flour, corn...\" --oh, it has cornstarch in it. No idea.--\"leavening,\" it hasvegetable oil in it already,\"sugar, and salt.\"I think the last time I used Bisquickwas when I made an impossible pie.I will put a link tothat video down below.That's very interestingbecause you mix up a batter,and while it's cooking,it makes its own crust.That's why it's called the impossible pie.I've made two versions.One was a sweet one with coconut,and then the other onewas a hamburger version.Check 'em out.Oh my goodness.How do you measure thisout without making a mess?You don't. You just make a mess.(utensils clanging)Ah, it's making a mess.Okay, one cup.(cup tapping)Oh.Two cups.Oh, it's not quite full. That's terrible.Okay. Almost there.There we go. Two cups.So while I'm at it,I'm gonna go ahead and add those nuts too.(nuts clinking)Give everything a stir.Okay, I did it again.My bowl is too small.Gonna go bigger.(bowls clinking)Break up our sugar.Teaspoon of vanillaBloop. Four beautiful eggs.Thanks, hens.(eggs cracking)I'm just gonna do this all at one timerather than mixing 'em one at a time'cause I don't think thisrecipe is very fussy,which I really appreciate.(whisk rustling)Life can be complicated enough as it is.We don't need to make ourrecipes fussy sometimes.You know what I mean?It's kind of hard tobelieve that just four eggsis all the moisture that we'regonna need for this recipe,but that's all that's listed, four eggs.This is a Danish whisk.It was sent to me by a beautiful lovely,and I like it very much.I use it a lot morethan I thought I would.It's really great for thicker batters.It's also called a bread whiskbecause you can mixdoughs with it as well.But it makes quick work of mixing.And I found it more efficientthan, say, a wooden spoonfor thick batters like this.Look at that. See?It smells good.Smells vanilla'd and nutty.So it says 9 by 13, but I have a...What is this?This is a 13 1/2 by 8 3/4.9 by 13, close enough. (chuckles)Okay, we're gonna grease our pan.We're just gonna dump it in.So the Bisquick, as I mentioned earlier,has some leavening init, some baking powder,so that's what's gonna make this rise.But it's gonna fall.We want it to fallbecause that's whatmakes it sad. (chuckles)But it's a tongue-in-cheek namebecause it's supposed to taste deliciouseven though it's not particularlytall for a cake, you know?And there's, in my opinion,something to be said of being homely.Spread this around and into the cornersand remove any Emmy hairsthat you have in there.Oh gosh.Now we're gonna pop this intoour preheated 350 degree ovenand bake it for 30 minutes.We're gonna take it out andmake sure it sinks nicelyso it's nice and sad, andthen we'll give it a taste.Alrighty, lovelies, seeyou in a little bit.(wistful music)Alrighty, my lovelies,it's been about 10 minutessince I pulled the sadcake out of the oven.And I have to say, itdoes not look that sad.I mean, it's not exactlygorgeous, but it's not ugly.I mean, that looks delectable.And I baked it a littleshy of the 30 minutes.I pulled it out a couple minutes earlybecause look how golden and gorgeousand risen it was on the sides.But I keep waiting for it to fall.It has sunk a little, butnothing like I had imagined.I imagined it wouldjust go full on sunkfulright in the middle,but it hasn't happened.And from the descriptions I've read,it's supposed to get firmer as it cools.I'm going for an edge piece.What about you? Edge or middle?Ooh, it does feel soft.Okay. Oh, I love the top.The top does this great crackly thingthat I love with brownies.I always was told that thatwas related to the chocolate,that a certain kind of chocolatewould give you that crackly thin top.This obviously has no chocolate in it.Maybe it's the sugar, hmm?The sad cake.And indeed it doesn't looklike a cake in profile.You know, you don't really seea distinctive crumb at all.Definitely looks more like a bar.Definitely kind of crumbly.Well, I shouldn't say crumbly.It's more kind of gooey and sticky.Let's give this a taste.Here we go. Itadakimasu. (blowing)(crunching) Mm!Ooh!That is decadent.Definitely recommend the pecans in there.It gives it a marvelous texture,this little kinda soft crunch in there.A warm, gooey brownie texture.Mm-hmm. As sweet as a brownie.There's a nice little chewiness to it toofrom the brown sugar.I really like the edges.(crunching) Mm-hmm.It's like crispness to itand that great chew with abrownie edge piece, mm-hmm.It's kind of like a blondiewith a great pecan flavor.And the vanilla's really nice,and it tastes butterscotchy,and it tastes a lot like butter pecan.The vanilla in combinationwith the carameland that lovely pecan isjust a great combination.If you wanted to gild the lily,I think a little bit ofwhipped cream on the sidewould be nice.I think vanilla ice creamwould be a little bit too much for me.Think it would be a little bit too sweet.But this is fantastic.Super easy, super simple, andjust a handful of ingredientsand you get a really lovelything that's not sad at all.Thanks so much for watching,and big thanks to Helix Sleepfor sponsoring this video.If you like to getyourself a new mattress,please click the link down belowor head over to helixsleep.com/emmymadeto receive 20% off and two free pillows.Thanks again for watching.I hope you enjoyed that one.I hope you learned something.Please share this video with your friends.Follow me on social media,get in touch with me,share your ideas and your recipes.Love hearing from you.Like this video, subscribe,and I shall see you in the next oneToodaloo, take care, bye!
