What is a sugar cake?

Sugar Pie is a common nickname for a loved one, but this can be caused by a long-cultural popularity of the real cake from Western Europe, which came to America through early settlers in Indiana. Also known as a sugar cream cake, it is not complicated because it uses a standard cake and whipped cream, flour, brown sugar, butter and small nutmeg or vanilla extract. Dessert remained popular in Indiana, where he was renamed Hoosier Pie and in 2009 he became a state cake.

Although many prefer cakes with fruit and other ingredients, the sugar cake seems to have arisen from necessity. Families of agriculture always have simple ingredients needed for this dessert, although apples and other fruits may not always be available. When the early families of Amish and Shaker settled in Indiana Farming Community at the beginning of the 19th century, they seem to have brought a recipe for this direct dessert. It is not clear how long European Dutch has already been what made dessert withouteggs.

After the cake bark is placed on the pan, 1 tablespoon (about 14 g) flour and 1 cup (about 225 g) brown sugar is mixed in the uncooked cake until mixed. Then a thick cream and some vanilla extract are mixed into the sugar - often with a finger to avoid disturbing the cake. This apparently led to the bowl to get another name, a finger cake.

Before baking, some chefs, such as the chef Celebrit Paul Deen, threw pieces of butter on the top of the cake and then sprinkled them with nutmeg. Bakes at 350 ° F (177 ° C) for half an hour or more. The sugar cake is served cold, giving him a better chance to solidify in the bark. The upper part of the sugar cake should be roasted.

The sugar cake variants exist, but all maintain the simplicity of the bowl intact. Some chefs add eggs to the fillings to make it more gelatin.Nor do they add nutmeg or vanilla and do not only use cream or combination of milk and cream.

Several traditional Dutch cakes spread the ingredients as much as possible. Vanilla cake also originated with Amish and includes a more pronounced element of vanilla extract. Even acetic cake persists in 2011, a similar version of Sugar Pie, which includes vinegar and lemon.
