HOE CAKE



Hoe Cake image

Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested from his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides -- slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using fresh eggs, butter, and milk, as well as good-quality chocolate and flour.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
