Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups steen's cane syrup
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons steen's 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)



Cajun Syrup Cake (GÂteau De Sirop) image

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."
