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!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ tablespoons shortening
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
2 pinches garlic salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a well-seasoned cast iron skillet with the shortening, and place it in the oven as it heats.
  • Whisk together the flour and milk in a bowl, to make a thick but still runny batter.
  • Remove the hot greased skillet from the preheated oven, and quickly sprinkle a pinch of garlic salt over the bottom of the skillet. Immediately pour in the batter, and sprinkle the top with a pinch of garlic salt.
  • Return the skillet to the oven, and bake in the preheated oven until the cake has risen and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (1 ounce) bottles red food coloring
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon white vinegar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ pounds confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
  • Pour red food coloring into a small bowl, and mix with cocoa powder to make a paste. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of butter, sugar, and eggs with an electric mixer until smooth and thoroughly combined; mix in the red color mixture, salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the buttermilk, alternating with flour, until the batter is smooth. Mix the baking soda and vinegar in a small bowl, and stir into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing cakes to finish cooling on racks.
  • In a bowl, mash cream cheese with 1/2 cup softened butter and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy; stir in the confectioners' sugar, about half a cup at a time, until the frosting is thick and spreadable. Frost fully-cooled layers.
