It comes out perfectly and anyone that comes to visit is never happy with only one serving. In fact, I suspect some visitors come hoping there will be Spider Cake to go with the coffee. I only use pure maple syrup, to which I sometimes add a small amount of dark bourbon to the bottle as flavoring. Yesterday I was out of cornmeal, so I used some corn grits I had instead. Same deliciousness. I let the cake sit in the pan a bit before baking since the texture of the grits is coarser.Lauren Lavenirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334988404901094331.post-1893472463137880762011-06-10T04:13:24.290-07:002011-06-10T04:13:24.290-07:00Love the history and now I understand better why i...Love the history and now I understand better why it's called "spider" cake.Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326463958951674762noreply@blogger.com
