Scottish Coburg Cakes
Ingredients
  • The ingredients for nana's Scottish Coburg Cakes are basic sponge cake ingredients with the all-important addition of spices and treacle which gives them their beautiful color and the warm, spicy flavor.
  • subheading: This recipe makes approx. 18 cup cakes.:
  • 6oz self raising flour
  • 4 ½oz caster sugar*
  • 4oz margarine
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp mixed spice**
  • 3 tsp treacle
  • 3 to 4 tsp cold water
  • subheading: For the icing you'll need approximately:
  • 5 ½ oz confectioners or powdered sugar
  • ⅛ cup water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • note: caster sugar is much finer than granulated sugar and is popular in the UK for baking. In the US it's not generally found on store shelves. You can buy it from Amazon or other outlets, examples include Judee's Superfine Baker's Sugar or Tate & Lyle's Caster Sugar. Because the texture is lighter caster sugar dissolves more quickly and produces a finer texture in your baked treats.
