Burnt Sugar Cake Recipe

Ingredients :

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup boiling water

3 egg whites

1/2 cup soft butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 egg yolks

1 cup cold water

1 tbsp cream

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Burnt Sugar Fudge Icing

Method :

Heat oven to 350F (175C). Grease an oblong cake pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches (33 x 23 x 5cm). Put 1/2 cup (125ml). sugar in heavy skillet. Set over moderate heat and melt, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue heating until sugar becomes a dark brown syrup (let it get darker than a caramel color but don't let it turn black or it will taste bitter). Stir in boiling water gradually (be careful of steam). Remove from heat. This is the burnt sugar syrup. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Beat butter, 1 1/2 cups (375ml) sugar and egg yolks together until fluffy. Combine cold water, cream, 3 tbsp of the burnt sugar syrup and vanilla.
