Hochul urges NYers to make chocolate cake with applesauce in bizarre anti-Trump tariff rant about ‘outrageous’ egg prices
NY Post ^ | 04.30.2025 | By Kevin Sheehan and Matt Troutman

She’s cracking.

Gov. Kathy Hochul sounded off Wednesday about the “outrageous” price of eggs — jokingly telling New Yorkers to make chocolate cake with applesauce instead.

The unprompted recipe suggestion came as Hochul, during a news conference in Midtown, slammed President Trump’s tariffs for driving up prices on everything from avocados to children’s toys.

“And I’m done talking about the price of eggs — just give up eating them,” she said, drawing laughter. “It’s just outrageous, outrageous.”

“You can make a really good chocolate cake with applesauce,” she added. “I digress, it’s also vegan.”

Ten to one a cake made out of applesauce makes a heavy and unpalatable cake.

Maybe the leftists should quit killing the egg-laying chickens trying to scare Americans into another totalitarian scamdemic. The communists really miss playing concentration camp commanders.

The Democrats all belong in hell.

Her staff ought to let her know that the price of eggs is way down. Trump fixed the egg price problem that Joe Biden created.

“Let them eat applesauce-based chocolate cake!”

“Okay, Marie Antoinette Hochul.”

Actually they’re not up here in the Northeast.

(And certainly not down nearly the 94% that Trump has repeatedly claimed.)

The eggs at Whole Foods are still outrageously priced. Shop elsewhere for your eggs.

Mine come from the back yard, but yeah, I checked the prices last weekend and they were much lower. Also, there were eggs in the coolers, not just empty racks.

Lolz. What an idiot.

Of course egg price increases have absolutely nothing to do with Biden’s inflationary policies, and nothing to do with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of hens being destroyed by bird flu.

No, it is ... TRUMMMMP!!

And BTW ...

Isn’t applesauce used to replace the oil, rather than the eggs?

We have three sources of backyard eggs. They’re between $3 and $4. Either chicken or duck.

The child looked lovely. Cute little face, clean. Hair in little braids, little things, you know.

“Good morn’, Daddy.”

And I said, “What do you want for breakfast!?”

The four-year-old has the ability to see through and find the wrong thing. The child saw through my body what was behind me. She saw the chocolate cake. She said, “Can I have the chocolate cake?”

And I said, “Chocolate cake, where?”

She said, “Chocolate cake behind you.”

And I looked... and there was chocolate cake! The child wanted chocolate cake for breakfast! How ridiculous!

And I said... and someone in my brain looked under chocolate cake and saw the ingredients: eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake! And milk! Oh goody! And wheat! That’s nutrition!

“What do you want?”

“Can I have some chocolate cake?”

“Chocolate cake coming up.”

-Bill Cosby

Hey Kathy. You’re about a month late on the “egg prices” talking point. They are coming down now. Check your Dem talking point emails more frequently.

Or you can get off your ass and raise some chickens. I’ve got so many eggs my wife gives them away free to our neighbors all over the neighborhood, to include her chiropractor and his entire staff. They’re being ruined. Every one of them want the eggs because of their freshness. Myself, I don’t know the difference but everyone else does. They are just a hobby to me. I never knew chickens were so smart. I just thought they came in buckets. They are a hoot to have around.

Hochul just pushed for no phones in public schools. I don’t know what motivated her but doing something constructive like that must have come with a lot of pressure for (normal people who’ve had enough of the failing, in light of Trump working hard for us) and against (herself and her destructive cohorts).

It was too much for her perhaps

“ The eggs at Whole Foods”

We don’t call it ‘Whole Paycheck” for nothing

I guess she doesn’t do her own grocery shopping.

$3.97/dozen at the local Aldi, down from the long-standing $4.47/dozen

2.19 Euros for 10 in Italy when I was there

I took care of my neighbors chickens when they would be out of town and you’re right I love being around them. They were funny little girls.
