Oh yes, I think we're working.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay.

My washing machine decided that it was never going to end.

It kept saying, "Two minutes"

and then it was four minutes

and then it was five minutes

and now we've just turned it off, so.

It's fine, no, it's fine.

So congratulations everyone

who is joining us today.

Thank you so much.

I'm very, very happy to have reached my end-of-year goal

for 500K and reached reached it halfway through the year,

which is pretty amazing.

So, thank you to you all of you

who share my videos with your friends and family

and tell people that they should subscribe.

You're awesome.

Thank you so much,

and to say thank you,

we're doing something special in this livestream.

As you can tell, I'm wearing my apron already.

So we're going to be doing some baking.

We're gonna make a low FODMAP carrot cake.

Got an awful lot of carrots.

(carrots thumping)

It's also gonna be a fun tour of my kitchen.

As some of you know, I moved house

three, four weeks ago?

Four weeks ago.

Haven't really unpacked everything yet.

Really haven't unpacked everything yet (laughs).

Don't know where my mixing bowl is, so,

but we're gonna work with what we've got.

(bowl clangs)

Ingenuity, we're going to be using our ingenuity.

Not only that though, to say thank you for 500K,

(hands clapping)

I'm gonna be giving away five merch items to people today

and you will see it on this board.

Here's my board.

Whoop.

So, the things are,

I'm gonna be giving away

a merch item to the first new member,

a merch item to the highest SuperChat,

which will obviously be decided at the end,

but I'll keep writing names as they come up,

and then the funniest joke will also,

also get a piece of free merch

and the best question,

the most interesting question.

No, "What's your favorite color?"

Spoiler, it's gold. (cellphone chimes)

But just, there you go.

There you go, best question.

Whatever it is that you ask

and Jessica's choice,

which again, I will decide at the end of the stream.

Oooh.

And if you are the winner of one of these five things,

best thing to do is to either go,

send me a message via Instagram or Twitter.

Oh!

Well look at that, hello.

We've already got our first new member.

Renee Roy, well done.

You have won a piece of merch.

Let me write that down.

(board thuds)

Oh.

And what that means

is that you need to send me an Instagram message

or send me a tweet

because YouTube still has not sorted out

it's private messaging system.

It's uh, it's a work in progress,

it's a work in progress.

So, Renee, congratulations,

and there's a link in the description of this livestream

where you can take a look at the piece of merch

that you would like

and then you can just

let me know.

Whew, it's exciting.

Voila.

I should also say that Clara is in the comments moderating.

So, she will be

replying to you all as well.

In the room next door,

she's through that door.

That's our office,

if you saw the office video.

It's through that door.

Right, let's get on with doing some baking.

Whoa, hello.

Hi Jessica Webber, you're going straight on the board

as the highest SuperChat so far.

I've just realized,

I'm gonna have to, somehow,

do the money thing.

Where I make it all into currency exchange.

Oh my gosh, okay.

It's fine.

Jessica Webber, congratulations.

You have won a lovely piece of merch.

Please contact me via Instagram or Twitter

to let me know what you would like.

Right, put this on the board

and then we're gonna get with some baking.

♪ Doo doo doo doo. ♪

Right, today we're going to be making

a low FODMAP carrot cake.

Carrot cake is one of my absolute favorite cakes

of all time.

If you are also a carrot cake lover

please leave me a carrot emoji in the chat

so I can have a little look at how many of you

also appreciate a good carrot cake.

It's a great one.

My grandmother was a,

she loved to bake

and it was one of her best dishes.

Must be said.

Right, first thing we're going to need.

Hello.

This is some lovely, gluten-free,

self-raising white flour.

I have recently become able to eat gluten-free flour.

It's been a revelation in my life, I must say.

Only some of them though, not all of them.

Can't really do the ones that contain,

like weird things.

"Weird things," she says.

Weird things, "What's a weird thing, Jessica?"

Who knows?

Right, measuring thingy.

Oh look, loads of you love carrot cake.

Happy to not be alone.

See some of you have added chocolate.

Chocolate.

I'm not a chocolate fan.

Ooh, bananas, banana cakes are also amazing.

Right, measuring.

Uh.

(indistinct clattering)

Found it, found it, we're all good.

All right,

♪ Let's get cracking ♪

♪ Let's get baking ♪

Don't ask me why I'm singing.

I know I shouldn't.

Every time I sing on the internet,

my mother's like, "Mmm, Jessica, don't do that."

And you know what, I think she's got a point,

to be honest, she's got a point.

I'm not the best.

Okay, self-raising white flour.

We're gonna need 300 grams

of that.

♪ Doo doo doo doo ♪

I've just realized,

I was going to use this measuring bowl as my mixing bowl.

It's fine (laughs),

it's fine, we'll just uh...

It will definitely take all of this mixture.

Everything is totally okay.

I have not just moved house

and am now dealing with the consequences of such.

Actually, you know what we should be doing

before even measuring ingredients?

Let's preheat our oven.

They always do that on Bake Off.

"Preheat your oven."

(oven dials click)

All right, I'm putting it on 180.

I don't know what that is if you're in America.

I'm sorry.

Someone who does that, please, please say.

What is it?

What's 180 in America?

This chat moves too slowly, I don't know.

Oh, 350 Fahrenheit, thank you, Becca T.

(finger snaps)

All right, put your oven on 180 Celsius

or 350 Fahrenheit, lah lah.

Okay, got the oven on, excellent.

We now have our cake pan here.

It's time to line it, grease it delightfully.

Oh hello, new member, Veera Chavan.

Oh my god, there's been new members,

and I haven't noticed, I'm so sorry.

Paprika 124, I like your name

and Erica Sawyer, hi guys, welcome.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Right, the greasing of the pan.

You're now gonna see something wonderful

about the new house.

What is this?

This drawer.

That's as far as it goes.

Who put a drawer here?

That can't be opened because of the oven?

One sec.

So you have to open the oven

to open the drawer.

I just, no words.

I have no words for this.

Okay, if you're wondering,

my cake pan is 20 centimeters,

also known as eight inches

and it's from the Paul Hollywood collection.

Yes, I really am that into Bake Off.

Okay.

Got my dairy-free sunflower butter.

It's not really butter, that's a lie,

but you know, we all like to pretend.

Those of us who can't really do dairy.

(paper crinkles)

It's a sweet lie but we live it.

♪ Doo doo ♪

Right.

I actually hum a lot while I'm baking, really sorry.

You're gonna have to experience that a lot.

Oop.

Okay.

(cake pan base thuds) Measure.

You can't even see what I'm doing, but look.

Whoop.

Oh.

Is that gonna stay here?

No.

Oh.

Maybe, a little bit.

Okay, that's fine.

Right, let's draw round it.

Don't worry the Sharpie bit

will not be going in the actual oven.

I'm aware you should not eat Sharpie.

Boop.

Ooh, there we go, created a vague circle.

We're good.

Chop that out.

You know as a person,

I think I'm a weird mixture of wanting everything to be

incredibly precise and perfect and matching

and also kind of lackadaisical about it (chuckles).

It's fine, just be a little slapdash.

Does anyone else find,

if you're the kind of perfectionist person,

do you find that you tend to either

want it to be completely perfect

or you're just not bothered?

I'm like, "If it's not going back

in its perfect proper place, it's fine.

It can just stay on the floor."

Anyone else, is that just me?

I don't know.

Oh we can have a talk about some personality types.

Guys, what do you think,

if you know what the 16 personality types are,

that you know, E, I, J, P thing.

What do you think my personality type is?

Take a guess.

I'm intrigued to know what you think.

Whoa.

What are some guesses?

Also, has anyone been watching Hannah Witton's

personalities videos?

I'm really enjoying them.

Like the one she did with Stevie about the Color Code.

Stevie got me really obsessed.

ENFP, ENTJ, IN,

did someone say I was an I?

Really?

Have we met?

Have we met?
