Golden syrup impossible cake is a delightful and unique dessert that combines a creamy custard layer with a light, fluffy cake. This recipe is surprisingly simple to make, and the result is a delicious treat that's perfect for any occasion. The use of golden syrup adds a rich, caramelized flavor that pairs beautifully with the vanilla and buttery elements in the cake.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or pie dish generously with butter. Ensure the pan is well-greased so the cake doesn’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, break the eggs and beat them until they become light and frothy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for this step.
- While continuing to whisk, gradually add the melted butter to the eggs. Make sure the butter is cooled slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs.
- Next, add the self-raising flour and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Whisk until combined thoroughly.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking the mixture. The batter will be quite liquid, which is normal.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared cake pan. The batter will be liquid and may look unusual, but don't worry—it’s supposed to be that way!
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The cake is ready when the top is set and a golden brown color. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about an hour.
- Once cooled, you can slice the cake and serve it. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it well to prevent sticking.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, for better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Gradually add the milk to the mixture while stirring to achieve a well-combined, lump-free batter.
- To achieve the perfect layering effect, pour the batter into the cake tin gently and evenly.
- Bake the cake in a water bath by placing the cake tin in a larger pan filled with hot water. This helps to cook the custard layer evenly and prevents the cake from drying out.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure the layers set properly.
Golden syrup impossible cake is a simple and elegant dessert that's sure to impress any crowd. With its distinct layers and rich flavor, it's a wonderful addition to your baking repertoire. By following these tips and taking the time to prepare the ingredients correctly, you'll create a beautifully textured cake that's as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. Enjoy your delightful, caramel-infused creation!
