How To Make Tobago Sugar Cake | Foodie Nation x The Messy Apron

Get your sweet teeth ready because Marina of The Messy Apron is showing us how to make Sugar Cake:
Makes 30
Note: You can half the recipe for a smaller amount of cakes but still add 1 bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick and add 1 tsp almond essence.
Ingredients:
4 cups coconut
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tsp almond essence
Few drops of food coloring (optional)
Method:
1. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper and set aside but keep close by.
2. Place all ingredients into an iron pot.
3. Using a wooden spoon and stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil on medium heat.
4. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and dries up a bit (about 10 - 15 mins).
5. Fool proof way to test for doneness* when sugar starts crystallizing on the sides of the pot (it becomes white and grainy), use 2 metal spoons to rub the mixture between them to check for that same grainy consistency.
- If it still seems wet and hasn't begun to crystallize, keep stirring with the wooden spoon until the mixture dries up some more.
- If it has started crystallizing, move quickly to the next step as it will begin setting.
6. Quickly turn off the heat and begin scooping bits of the mixture on to the two baking trays lined with parchment paper.
7. Leave to cool completely before enjoying!

This was such a simple recipe. Love it..thanks ladies for sharing..

[@maryb868]

This just satisfied my sweet tooth! Not to mention the colour is aesthetically pleasing 😍

[@elizabeth70001]

I made it the same day I saw your video. I had no Cream of Tatar so, I added some lemon juice, and I had no bay leaf, so added some thyme. Thank you ladies! I felt like I was in Tobago, my birthplace!

[@LystraM]

Thanks for sharing!! I’ve always wanted to make this.

[@stephaniegreene539]

Sugarcane, looks lovely, I normally add a little ginger. I love tamarind balls,when I was at school, made for my kids too. 😊🇬🇾😍👏

[@allysonkalicharan4224]

I like ginger in mine too 🇹🇹

[@nataliyafrancis584]

You know you’re getting older when you’re excited about kitchen appliances #MyFoodieAirFryer ❤️

[@dinkypoo92mkm]

My husband really loves this. Always gets it when we go Tobago. I'm going to make it this weekend. Hope it comes out great like this. Thanks for sharing. Kezi looking real nice

[@kemoylogan2474]

Tried this recipe today its great except not all mine set properly and those that set are a bit crumbly, i dont know if I needed to add more sugar?

[@mycoshe]

In St Lucia we call this tablet. We make the different colours too and also the brown ones and the ones made with molasses.

[@laurafordesvideos]

Looks good. Thanks for sharing!

[@karminiparsan4440]

I love toolum..please make that. I like when the sugar cake is not quite set and gluey inside😁..great pink colour👏👏

[@danq.5140]

I've made these before and they are very tasty. I like to bruise dry bay leaf to help it release more flavour/aroma.

[@MzBatyah]

I love sugar cake. Easy recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@denyseevans9865]

Help I made 2 batches of these 2 different colors the first batch came out perfect but the second would not, the coconut kept falling apart. I didn’t do anything different except use 2 different food coloring????

[@risa8685]

#MyFoodieAirFryer...I like Marina...such a soft spoken, warm and gentle soul. Didn't think sugar cake is so easy to make! Thanks ...this will be a nice treat for the kids!
