"Gateau Chomage"

This is another passed down recipe. Growing up in a mining family (between my grandfather, father and I we have over 75 years with inco), we've gone through our fair share of strikes. The following is a recipe that you can easily make with ingredients laying around the house. The name is loosely translated to Unemployment Cake.

Syrup:
2 cups Brown Sugar
2 cups Water

Bring to a boil over medium heat in a medium sauce pan

Meanwhile, preheat over to 375 and prepare cake

Cake:
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp butter
1 cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup - 2 cups flour, (to consistency)

Melt Butter
Mix all 5 ingredients together
Pour syrup in cake pan with lid
Slowly add cake batter to syrup (it's not going to look appealing right away)
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean

Serve the cake warm, smothered in milk.
