Very Old  Recipe for Burnt Sugar Cake Recipe

 Burnt Sugar Cake   Very Old Recipe

Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1 egg
1-1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

  Place 1/4 cup of sugar in a heavy frying pan, and heat slowly until the sugar becomes a syrup.  Then add the boiling water.  The sugar will splutter and harden  when the water touches it, so use care not to burn your hand.  Keep little ones away from the stove area. Cook until the quantity is reduced to 1 tablespoon.  Cream the butter and the sugar.  Add the caramel syrup.  Drop in the whole egg, and beat well.  Mix and sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add alternately with the cold water to the first mixture.  Add the vanilla extract. Turn into a well greased pan, and bake in a moderate oven at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

This cake is worth the extra trouble it takes to make it! The recipe is from 1928-1929.. It is taken from an old cookbook of mine "WEEI Radio Cooking School" Boston, Ma 1928-1929
