Wow, thank you! I know the feeling of being homesick, its no fun. I plan on taking a trip there very soon. My plan is to capture as much as I can on video, hopefully it'll bring home a little closer to you. Thanks for watching.
Hi my sister, I am a Bajan living in England and I told my husband yesterday that I would really eat a sugar cake now, he went, " what, what is that then?🤔 Anyways I looked on UA-cam praying to see a video on how to make some and there you are, of course I had to buy grated packed coconut from the Caribbean shop here. i shall make them soon! Anyway I love your video, thanks a million sis! God bless!
Hi Sis, my husband was telling me recently he find when he’s talking about something he want, for some reason something pops up on social media about the same thing he was talking about. You telling your husband you want sugar cake and my sugar cake video popped up 😀let me know how there come out for you. Thanks for watching
I loved sugar cakes as a child, when my parents came to Barbados to bring me to the state, we went into town for something, I remembered seeing the old lady selling sugar cake, I asked my mom to buy me a bag. She asked me if I knew how the woman grated the coconut, I said no. And she told me the old woman would chew up the coconut and mix it with the sugar. Well that was it for me and my love of sugar cakes. My mother had a no sugar household rule. May she rest in peace.
O my goodness, that was one way to keep you away from sugar! Those old people had a saying for everything, My favorite sugar cake is the burnt black gooey sticky one, I have to make them one day. thanks for watching enjoy the rest of your day.
From the Caribbean and have just been thinking of gifting myself something decadent for Christmas and couldn't think of nothing other than ... sugar cake. Thanks for the post. ... and I had to get tyhe chewy molasses fix! So love it! The taste (and smell) along with your accent teletransported me across the seas and time to the islands.
You are so welcome! Sugar cake is always a great treat especially if it's dark and chewy and if it teleported you all the way to the island, it was worth every bite. Thanks for watching have a very happy and prosperous New Year.
Hi Tinaraine, just a tip I bought a silicone teabag which I enclose with any herbs or spices to flavour the pot and just take out the bag once the contents are infused. I found it on Amazon as my husband hates crunching into cloves or cardamom. The bag can be reused. Tks Cheryl
I’m in Canada and my boyfriend came here from Barbados 5 years ago, he always misses food from home and has been saying lately he wishes he could have sugar cake so I’m going to make these for him! Look so yummy I can’t wait to try them myself 😋
Hello Victoria, sugar cake is a sweet treat we all grew up with in Barbados. Just remember when you are making them be sure to cook them under a low heat, it's a slow process.Thanks for watching and have a good evening.
Thank you mam, for sharing your recipe, love the twist with the molasses, looks delicious 😋, I must try. I usually make them without molasses so, I' m going to try your recipe.👍 God bless you.🙏
Thank you...I like mine chewy, it just takes me back to my childhood days.....I make them for my children they love it, I eat them too....we called them greater a cake...
That is awesome! I like mind chewy as well. Greater a cake, what country are you ? Its amazing we all make the same things but have different names for just about everything. Thanks for watching, Have a Happy Easter Weekend
Hello good morning! when making sugar cake, to get then white yo will use white sugar, if you have white food coloring you can also add a drop, the dark brown a little molasses and of course the red will be food coloring. Hope this was helpful. Thank you so much for watching
Hello my Friend, you did an awesome job; beautiful molasses color; girlfriend now you got me wanna make some, lol. You are 100% Bajan!! Great memories. Look out for my upload on Sunday. Have a blessed weekend dear. Xoxo
Hi. What type of measuring cups do you use to measure out the coconut and sugar in the making of sugar cakes. I'm a learner. In buying them what are the names of the items I have to ask for. Are they sold in a set or are they sold as single cups. Keep up the good work.
Hi Egbert, you can find measuring cups in just about any store. The recipe is below the video, check it out and get the full description of everything I used. Thanks for watching
I think every kid back then made sugar cakes at some point or another. just start to make them and your memory will return. let me know how there come out for you.
Yummy, just the way I like mine with the pieces of ginger😋. I have never used molasses in mine however, as much as I am tempted, I will allow you to eat 2 for me. Keep up the good works👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good morning my sister, we just finished our Sunday Service so i decided to try my sugar cakes now, it was a hot mess! not sure what i did wrong but when i added the coconut, maybe too soon, it completely sucked up all the liquid so i quickly added tap water and it went down hill from there plus the sugar cakes are definitely Not sticky so disappointed but i will have another go soon, will let you know how that goes OK! Lots of love from England! Bless! Cheers!
I am so sorry it did not come out the way you wanted, the only thing I can think of, did you follow the directions as shown? The heat on your stove may have been to high. Give them another try but make sure the heat is on low, so the liquid is not sucked up, you have to continuedly stir until the liquid evaporate but it should be a slow process.
Sorry to hear this. I'm bajan an one this some people don't realize is the making of a lot of our local treats are not for the faint hearted you have to practice alot even me I'm still learning so keep at it😂😂😂
Hi Antoinette, I am not familiar with those biscuits, but I think I may know what you're talking about. it's a tea biscuit called Rusk, Thanks for letting me know I will put it on my list of things to do.
Hi Joannn, yes you can, when you're ready to eat them, take them out of the freezer and bring them come to room temperature. There're delicious. Have a great weekend.
Hi Sonia, I dropped them on the counter top just like that, I think the sugar cake will stick to the bottom of the parchment paper. I probably could have sprinkle water but I didn't. Water will probably help them to lift easier off the counter. Let me know what you use.
Girl great idea! I had my husband ordered me a food processor, and it works like magic lol. i am over here gratering up all my fingers, I finally said that's it.
H Monica! Thank you for pointing that out, I find myself sometimes doing that a lot, and I have been told by family members that I do repeat myself. However, I am working on it by paying a closer attention to myself when speaking. Thanks for watching, be bless.
Your voice/accent is giving me LIFE! I am so homesick! ❤
Wow, thank you! I know the feeling of being homesick, its no fun. I plan on taking a trip there very soon. My plan is to capture as much as I can on video, hopefully it'll bring home a little closer to you. Thanks for watching.

Thank you, never had sugar cakes with molasses. I enjoy them. Have to make some soon. Your presentation is so bajan. The memories .
The molasses gives it that dark color, but it can be made without. Hope you enjoy!
Yes, I love when my grandfather would come from England and make it 😋

Is “molasid” something different to molasses?
Hi Marco, it's just a difference in the pronunciation. Same thing
She just pronounced it how she wanted but it is molasses
Good cooking. Can you show us how to make dog biscuits we use to eat when we were young. People call them Russ biscuits now. Thanks
Hi Antoinette, I am not familiar with those biscuits, but I think I may know what you're talking about. it's a tea biscuit called Rusk, Thanks for letting me know I will put it on my list of things to do.
Can you store them in the freezer?
Hi Joannn, yes you can, when you're ready to eat them, take them out of the freezer and bring them come to room temperature. There're delicious. Have a great weekend.
Hi i made some today yeeea kool right
Yes very kool and good lol.
I attempted this but they didn't set, can I put it back to cook some more or just try again ☹
Pat Yearwood put it back in, make sure it’s moist meaning leave it a little wet. Add a little moister if you need to and try again
When dropping the sugar cakes don't you drop them on a wet surface or parchment paper? Thanks!
Hi Sonia, I dropped them on the counter top just like that, I think the sugar cake will stick to the bottom of the parchment paper. I probably could have sprinkle water but I didn't. Water will probably help them to lift easier off the counter. Let me know what you use.
Thank you!! 🙏🏻 ❤🎉
You are so welcome
Thank you .
O yes i will make some
