Amazing cake! I used Poirier’s cane syrup instead of Steens. It’s lighter, and more flavorful. Will definitely make again. Yum!
This is my go to Syrup Cake..we always used Steens Cane Syrup. MawMaw Richard always made a glaze with evaporated milk, sugar and butter. I use brown sugar sometimes in the glaze but that’s the only deviation. It’s.sooo delicious.
