Macaroon Syrup Cake
August 29, 2008 9:11 am Chris, recipesThis cake is awesome…
- 125g Butter
- 1 Cup Castor Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 2 Cups Coconut
- 1 Cup Self Raising Flour
Lemon Syrup Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2/3 Cup Water
- 6 Strips Lemon Rind
Grease a 20cm ring pan, line base with paper; grease paper.
Cream butter and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, beat in eggs one at a time, beat until combined. Transfer mixture to large bowl, stir in coconut, then sifted flour. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake in 160C oven for about 45mins.
After the cake has cooked for about 25mins start making the syrup:
Combine all ingredients in saucepan, stir over heat without boiling until sugar is dissolved, bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer uncovered without stirringfor 3 minutes; strain syrup.
Remove cake from oven once finished cooking and leave in pan, pour hot syrup over hot cake, all of it, it may seem like too much but just pour slowly letting it soak in, leave cake to cool in the pan.
Done.
