I made this cake. The recipe sounded so good. I followed the recipe to the letter, but the cake came out extremely dry. My oven is properly calibrated. I used the correct pan and baked the cake for 35 minutes. I don’t know what went wrong, but we threw the whole cake away after trying it. Any suggestions?
Hi Betty, We are so sorry that you had this experience. Your information has been forwarded to our Consumer Relations Department. Someone will be reaching out. Happy Baking!
My Dad made cane syrup for years, and a few years ago I planted my own blue ribbon cane (not hybrid used today) and made my own cane syrup.
Hi Terry, We imagine its delicious and would make an incredible Louisiana Syrup Cake! Happy Baking!
At the top of the instructions it says Bake: 80 min but the recipe says bake 35 minutes. I’m hoping it means entire preparation time 80 minutes. I would imagine baking it for 80 minutes would make it inedible.
Hi Jackie, Good Catch! Yes 80 minutes is total time. We've split up the time in the recipe for 45 minutes prep and 35 bake. Thanks and Happy Baking!
My paternal grandfather was renowned for his cane syrup and molasses that he made every year. It was highly sought after.
There is NO substitute for cane syrup!
LOL! We may have to agree!
What exactly is cane syrup?
Great question Pam! It can be said that sugar cane syrup is made by evaporating sugar cane juice. Usually, sugar cane juice is boiled for several hours, so as to yield a thick syrup that is sweeter than sugar. During the boiling process, baking soda and lemon juice are also added to the juice. This is a basic process of how cane syrup is made.
Molasses can be use used instead
What flavor profile is closest to Came syrup out of the substitutes? There is quite a range between Maple syrup, Molasses, Honey, and guessing you mean Corn syrup for Golden syrup. Thanks!
Hi Karen, I've forwarded your information on to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will be contacting you with additional information.
