What kind of brown sugar should I use?
Brown sugar comes in two main varieties—light brown and dark brown—so which one should you use for your cake? Generally speaking, light brown sugar lends itself better to creamier recipes like frostings and icings because of its milder taste. Dark brown sugar has a more robust flavor and works well in denser recipes like spiced cakes or moist gingerbreads. So when it comes to making your brown sugar cake, either type can work but light brown sugar will give you a more subtle result, while dark brown sugar will give your cake more depth of flavor.
What Are Some Different Variations of Brown Sugar Cake?
There are lots of different variations of brown sugar cake! Some versions use ingredients like applesauce or yogurt to create a moist texture; others add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor; and still, others include nuts or dried fruit for a crunchy texture and added sweetness. The possibilities are endless!
Can I Make Brown Sugar Cake Without an Oven?
Yes! You can make brown sugar cake without an oven if you have access to a stovetop. All you need to do is prepare your batter in a greased pan over low-medium heat on the stovetop until it’s golden brown on both sides. This method takes longer than an oven, but it still produces delicious results!
