Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups white sugar
⅓ cup hot water
3 cups sifted cake flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup milk

Steps:

  • Prepare burnt sugar by placing 1/2 white sugar into a heavy skillet over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon as sugar melts. When it becomes very dark brown, remove from heat, add hot water very slowly and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F). Line two 9 inch round baking pans with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together three times.
  • Cream the butter or margarine with the remaining 1 1/4 cups white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating thoroughly after each. Stir in the vanilla and the burnt sugar syrup mixture.
  • Add the dry ingredients and milk alternately to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
