First I have a question about your burnt sugar syrup recipe--are you using equal parts sugar and water? Second, watch your temperature setting. I use medium-low (right between those two positions). Third, a tip while simmering the syrup--if any of the syrup gets around the edges of the pan (away from the heat) it may harden. Scrape those bits toward the center of the pan. I hope that helps!

I have not made either cake, so I don't know. She mentioned them making desserts for quilting bees...LOL Her book is full of old Southern recipes. Biscuits, tomato rice, fried chicken, shortribs...good tips.

I just stumbled on your blog and boy am I glad I did....this recipe looks delicious!! I have a recipe on my blog for caramel dumplings which my mother and grandmother used to make. It has the same burnt sugar syrup, but you drop sweet dumplings into it and it makes it's own sauce. I will be back often. Hello new friend…
