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.""

  1. This was very good! I made 2 cakes.......for one, I baked in a 13x9 inch pan and put a lemon glaze on top; for the other, I baked in a tube pan and added raisins & raisins to the batter. Both turned out really,really good!!
     
  2. This is truly a Cajun classic. Steen's Syrup is sold all over LA. This cake is a delicious spice cake with just the right amount of sweetness from the syrup. I did serve it topped with additional syrup. The timing was perfect. It was baked in a bundt pan.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
