It's Mother's Day today!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of you wonderful mothers out there. This is an extra special day to be pampered.
My day started a day earlier. My family treated me with a scrumptious BBQ steamboat dinner last nite and gave me a present too. A cake recipe book called Grandbaby Cakes by food blogger Jocelyne Delk Adams. A great book with good recipes. I am happy. Thank you my lovelies! 😙
So today, I made myself this moist and soft Sugee Butter Cake with Rum. Mmmm...yummy! It's a big cake. So I decided to bake it into two small trays and gave one to my good neighbour. So, not only am I happy but my neighbour is too.
Well, let's get on with the recipe shall we? Right! All you need is:
300g butter
260g caster sugar
1 tsp salt
5 eggs
190g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
300g semolina
300ml fresh milk
1 tsp vanilla (I used 2-3 tbsp of rum)
1. Soak semolina with milk for 6 hours.
2. Grease and line 9 inch baking pan. Pre heat oven to 180 defree celcius.
3. Beat butter and sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition
4. Stir in semolina and vanilla or rum. Fold in sifted flour and blend to mix.
5. Spread into baking tin and bake for 40-45 mins or until cake is done.
Enjoy with a cup of hot tea! 😆
