BURNT SUGAR CAKE
This is another old recipe I had from Family Circle Magazine, February 1982. This is a delicious cake with a wonderful burnt sugar flavor. The color of the cake is a beautiful deep golden color. The frosting recipe follows the cake recipe.

BURNT SUGAR CAKE (BETTY CROCKER: CIRCA 1956)
This recipe is in response to a request for the Betty Crocker (1950-1960) version of the cake. I have tried to retain the authenticity of the period, hence the repetition of the ingredient amounts throughout the recipe. I hope you enjoy it. Mom used to make this one sometimes too!

I entered this recipe in a local cooking contest many years ago and it was first runnerup to the winner of the dessert category. I think the original recipe came from the Imperial Sugar Company in Sugarland, Texas but I made a few changes to suit my tastes.
