Store the cakelets in an airtight container for up to three days. Set the cakes on the cooling rack to let the glaze dry. Dip just the top of the cake into a bowl filled with raw sugar. With a pastry brush, brush the glaze over the entire top of the acorn cake. In a small bowl add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and water, mix up the glaze until it's smooth. Let the cakes cool slightly then insert a knife in the side of a move to remove the cakelets from the pan. The cakes will puff up when baked and should pull away from the sides of the pan. This batter bakes up perfectly in this pan since it is dense so it makes it easy to get the cakes out of the pan, but, it is still nice and moist. ![]() With the back of a spoon, spread the batter a little bit to get into the mold. Spoon one tablespoon of batter into the molds. Mix the batter for a minute until it is totally mixed and thick. Add half of the flour mixture and beat on medium speed to incorporate then add the liquid ingredients, beat again to incorporate, then add the remaining flour mixture. Beat in the eggs one at a time at medium speed to combine. With the mixer on medium speed mix the butter and sugar for a minute so it is nice and creamy. In another small bowl add the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. To a small bowl add the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and mix this together. Place the softened butter and the brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl. Take a paper towel and wipe the top of the pan to clean up any oil or flour that has spread over the top. Spoon flour into each mold and shake the pan until the molds are covered in flour then turn the pan over to remove the excess flour. Even though this is a nonstick pan I still spray cooking spray in each mold, then using a pastry brush I brush all over the mold to get in all the nooks and crannies. I added more cinnamon and nutmeg, plus the addition of ground ginger because I love these warming spices. This recipe is the recipe that came with the pan with just a few little tweaks. Just make sure you prep it with cooking spray and you will end up with all the nice acorn details that even a squirrel would appreciate. The recipe for the spice cake comes with the pan for an extra bonus. I love this pan because it's heavy-duty cast aluminum and the cakes come out perfectly. ![]() I just couldn't pass it up, could you?
