Here’s how to make Aisha Momaney’s brown sugar cake recipe.

"Brown sugar cake227g softened butter (salted or unsalted)300g brown sugar100g granulated sugar4 eggs2 tsp vanilla ex282 ap flour1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp baking powder183g milk (I used buttermilk because I had some around I wanted to get rid of!)Roughly 2 cups of fruit (can be omitted and you can add whatever you want! I’ve thrown in chocolate chips, m&ms, chopped nuts, you name it)Method:Cream butter and sugars until fluffyAdd eggs one at a time with vanilla extractCombine all drysAlternate drys with milk, batter will sometimes appear broken, this is ok!For the fruit, frozen fruit sometimes will release a lot of water so I cooked mine down with maple, half a lemon and a pinch of salt until almost all the liquid had cooked out and the pears were caramel-y. Then I layered the bottom of the cake pan with them.This recipe will either yield one Bundt cake mold (you know you have one lying around that hasn’t been used yet!) Or I made two 9 inch cakes so it was a faster bake. If you want to go this route just split the batter evenly between two greased (I use butter, lots!) pans.Bake at 350’f until a skewer or knife comes out clean. Unmold immediately and reserve.Brown sugar sauceIngredients:227g butter1 tsp vanilla ex1 tbl sp corn syrup (I used maple, you could also use honey or agave etc)110g brown sugar30g milk (buttermilk again for me)1/2 lemonPinch of saltRoughly two cups of chopped fruitPlace all ingredients in a pan and simmer till all is combined stirring occasionally. Let simmer for about five minutes. Pour over cake (or cakes, distributing the fruit evenly) and let soak in before serving."
