BURNT SUGAR CAKE AND FROSTING
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Melt 3/4 cup sugar in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns into a rich amber color.
- Turn off heat, and very carefully add the boiling water. The mixture will spatter at first.
- Return the syrup to low heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sugar and water are thoroughly mixed and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Adjust rack to lower third of oven; preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch layer cake pans. Line pans with buttered parchment or waxed paper rounds.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; set aside.
- Cream butter until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and continue creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until well blended. To the 1/2 cup of burnt sugar syrup add enough water to make 1 cup; stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the burnt sugar syrup-water mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat until well blended and smooth. Divide the batter between the 2 cake pans.
- Bake the cakes for about 25 minutes, or until the surface springs back slightly when lightly touched in the center with a finger. The cakes will contract slightly from the sides of the pans.
- Cool 10 minutes in the pan on wire racks, then invert the cakes onto the racks. Carefully peel off paper liners; turn baked side up, and cool completely before frosting.
- Fill and frost with Burnt Sugar Frosting (instructions below) and decorate with whole pecan halves .
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cream 1/4 cup unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually beat the confectioners' sugar mixture into the butter with the remaining 1/4 cup Burnt Sugar Syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Continue beating until creamy and spreadable. If the mixture is stiff, add water, about 1 teaspoon at a time.

This is another old recipe I had from Family Circle Magazine, February 1982. This is a delicious cake with a wonderful burnt sugar flavor. The color of the cake is a beautiful deep golden color. The frosting recipe follows the cake recipe.

BURNT SUGAR CAKE (BETTY CROCKER: CIRCA 1956)
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!

- first so it has time to cool. Make sure you have boiling water at the ready. For the burnt sugar syrup, place sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Best to use a 3 quart heavy-bottomed quality saucepan. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until the sugar has completely melted and is amber brown, about 8-10 minutes. If the sugar is clumpy, break up the lumps with your wooden spoon. A candy thermometer is not necessary, but if you’re using one, the sugar temperature should reach about 300°F (149°C) when it’s ready. Turn the heat to low and very carefully and slowly drizzle in the boiling water, a little at a time. Stir after each addition and stand back, as the mixture will rapidly sizzle and bubble. After all of the boiling water is stirred in, stir and cook the sugar syrup for 3 more minutes on low. Turn off the heat and let it cool completely, overnight preferred. It’s imperative that the sugar syrup is completely cool. You will have about 1 cup of syrup.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans.
