written by [Kileaiya]
Alright all you chefs! It is time for another installment of cooking with kids.
Arabian Nights Cake
What you’ll need:
5 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup flour, plus
1 tablespoon flour
For topping:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1st. Have the kids butter a 8"x8" square glass baking dish.
2nd. Have an adult preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3rd. Let the kids beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together until the color "lightens" slightly;
4th. Have an adult melt butter, add to egg mixture and mix well.
5th. Have them combine the flour and baking powder, then add to the egg mixture; mixing gently but thoroughly.
6th. Then have them the pour mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 12 minutes
7th. Meanwhile, prepare the topping by having an adult melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the sugar, honey, almonds and cinnamon.
8th. Have an adult bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened a bit (it doesn't need to reach a particular temperature).
9th. After the 12 minutes of baking, have an adult take the cake out of the oven (it will look a lot like custard at this point) and let the children gently pour the topping onto the cake.
10th. Have an adult return cake to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
