Indian Loaf Cake

Mix a teacup of powdered white sugar with a quart of rich milk, and cut up in the milk two ounces of butter, adding a saltspoon of salt. Put this mixture into a covered pan or skillet, and set it on the fire till it is scalding hot. Then take it off, and scald with it as much yellow Indian meal (previously sifted) as will make it of the consistency of thick boiled mush. Beat the whole very hard for a quarter of an hour, and then set it away to cool.

While it is cooling, beat three eggs very light, and stir them gradually into the mixture when it is about as warm as new milk. Add a cup of good strong yeast and beat the whole another quarter of an hour, for much of the goodness of this cake depends on its being long and well beaten.

Have ready a tin mold or earthen pan with a pipe in the centre (to diffuse the heat through the middle of the cake). The pan must be very well-buttered as Indian meal is apt to stick. Put in the mixture, cover it and set it in a warm place to rise. It should be light in about four hours. Then bake it two hours in a moderate oven.

When done, turn it out with the broad surface downwards and send it to table hot and whole. Cut it into slices and eat it with butter.


This will be found an excellent cake. If wanted for breakfast, mix it and set it to rise the night before. If properly made, standing all night will not injure it. Like all Indian cakes (of which this is one of the best), it should be eaten warm.
