Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 11x17-inch jelly roll pan.

  2. Mix baking mix, potato flakes, sugar, and milk powder together in a bowl. Add beer, eggs, and oil. Mix well and pour into the prepared pan.

  3. Melt brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon together in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Pour half of the mixture over the cake batter.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Pour remaining brown sugar mixture over cake, covering the entire surface. Return to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes more.

Recipe Yield

1 11x17-inch cake

Recipe Note

My grandmother made this frequently in my youth. Simple ingredients, and it tastes just like Moravian sugar cake without all the fuss! Don't forget to add the can of beer (any brand)!
