- Whisk together egg, cane syrup, and oil in a medium bowl until well blended. Whisk together hot water and baking soda in a small bowl. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a second medium bowl. Stir flour mixture into syrup mixture, alternating with water mixture, stirring until just combined after each addition, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
- Pour into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. Remove from pan; dust with powdered sugar. If desired, top with sweetened whipped cream and drizzle with additional cane syrup.

Steps:
- Make the cake: preheat oven to 350°; grease and flour a 9-inch square or round cake pan.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt; stir with a fork to mix well.
- In a big bowl, combine the vegetable oil, cane syrup, and egg; stir with a fork or whisk to combine well.
- Add about 1/3 or the flour mixture to the syrup mixture and then stir gently, just until the flour disappears.
- Add the baking soda to the hot water, and then stir about half the water into the batter.
- Stir another 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the remaining water, and finally the remaining flour, stirring gently each time just to mix everything well.
- Quickly pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched gently in the center, and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Make the frosting: In a bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy; add in half the powdered sugar, the vanilla, and salt; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and the cane syrup, and beat until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the bowl and mix well.
- To complete: if cake is round, cool the cake in the pan on a rack, for 10 minutes, turn it out of the pan, and place it, top side up, on a wire rack to cool completely; place cooled cake on a serving plate or cake stand, top side down, and spread the frosting over it generously, covering the top and sides.
- If it is square, spread the icing over the cooled cake right in the pan, and cut into squares to serve; serve warm, right from the pan.
CAJUN SYRUP CAKE (GÂTEAU DE SIROP)
This is being entered for ZWT II & my source is gumbopages.com. The intro says: "This one's a classic, made from rich, dark Louisana cane syrup, like that made by Steen's Syrup Mill (my brand of choice). It's about as Cajun as it gets. Serve w/a drizzle of cane syrup if you like + some sweetened whipped cream."

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting cake. This means using real butter, eggs, and milk, as well as high-quality vanilla extract and spices.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake to set and develop its full flavor.
