BURNT SUGAR CAKE (BETTY CROCKER: CIRCA 1956)



Burnt Sugar Cake (Betty Crocker: Circa 1956) image

This recipe is in response to a request for the Betty Crocker (1950-1960) version of the cake. I have tried to retain the authenticity of the period, hence the repetition of the ingredient amounts throughout the recipe. I hope you enjoy it. Mom used to make this one sometimes too!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is evenly mixed and rises properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking will result in a gooey cake, while overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Burnt sugar cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich, caramel-like flavor and moist, tender texture, this cake is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
