maple syrup cakes
November 18, 2008 at 11:33 pm | Posted in Cakes | 13 Commentslast weekend the parents and i found ourselves at pantry magic, a pretty shop along jalan merah saga. granted the things there are expensive, but they are exquisitely beautiful! they stock a good array of silicon bakeware and i decided to get a heart-shaped mould.
yesterday i had a long meeting and i decided to whip up something simple at night just to unwind a bit.
i had one when it was still warm and it was pretty nice… tasted like pancakes! might be good with a dollop of butter too.
from donna hay’s modern classics 2:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Beat 90g softened butter, 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons caster sugar in the bowl of electric mixer until light and creamy. Add two eggs gradually and beat well. Add 2 tbsps milk, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 2/3 cups sifted plain flour and 1 3/4 tsps baking powder and beat until just smooth. Spoon into moulds/cupcake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.

hey there i tried out this recipe and it tasted great! thanks!
i’m a beginner in baking and i would like to know what did you do to prevent the cake from sticking to the mould? i greased my mould with butter but it didn’t work.

hello kangli, great to know it turned out well for you! 😀 what moulds are you talking about? silicon or normal metal ones? probably you could flour it a bit after greasing. or line with baking/greaseproof paper.

hello! i’ve been lurking around for some time and i find myself salivating everytime i see your baked goods! anyway, just wondering- if i were to add blueberries (or additional ingredient of the likes), wld it be too sweet (since there’s maple syrup)?

RAF: lol, thanks! 🙂 i think adding blueberries is fine; the cake isn’t overly sweet even with the maple syrup.
