Just finished watching The Children's Carol... and Verdie was selling her burnt cinnamon cakes. Does anyone have a recipe? I have the one for Olivia's Applesauce cake and this would be nice to add to my collection. |

I think I can help you with that. I have a few old cookbooks and will see what I can find. It is fun to try food from the show. I have a website with recipes for what they ate on the show. Still working on Season One and I am up to The Typewriter.

I found two recipes that look good. Google grandma's burnt sugar cake at cooks.com and burnt sugar cake II at allrecipes.com. Hope this helps. Happy baking!

I was given a big bag of Gravenstein apples...best for cooking...and made a Heirloom Apple Cake with them. After I made the cake I poured on a glaze of brown sugar, butter and cream ( okay milk...didn't have cream) anyhoo you boil the glaze for three minutes and it made me think of Verdie's Burnt Cinnamon cake. Yummy cake!

HERE IS THE RECIPE: Heirloom Apple Cake Ingredients:
Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon table salt 3 eggs (room temp) 1 cup canola or veg. oil 1½ cups granulated sugar ½ cup maple sugar (you can use all granulated sugar if you cannot find this) 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups of peeled and chopped apples (Gravenstein preferred, but get the best apples you have access to)1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze
1 cup brown sugar ½ cup butter (1 stick) ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the eggs, oil, sugars and vanilla. Beat until it is creamy, about two to three minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. The batter will be very thick. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and use a heavy spatula to fold in the pecans and the apples until they are well incorporated. The batter will now be exceedingly thick. Prepare a Bundt pan by spraying it heavily with non-stick baking spray (I have had great results with PAM for baking) or butter the pan thoroughly. Spoon the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with the spatula or a spoon. Bake the cake for 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick. If a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, or with crumbs, then the cake is ready. If not, continue to bake for up to another 10 to 15 minutes, testing again every 5 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool while you prepare the glaze.In a small saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar and cream. When the butter has melted and the ingredients are combined, allow it to come to a low boil. Allow the sauce to boil (watching it carefully) for three minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat. Place the cake on a serving plate and spoon the sauce onto the cake. If you should choose to, reserve ⅓ of the sauce to put on the cake just before serving.
Mine took 65 mins to bake but we are higher elevation...
