Election Cake
Original recipe:
Two pounds Sugar,
Three quarters of a pound of butter,
One pint of milk made into a sponge,
four eggs,
Two tablespoonsful of cinniamon,
And flour enough to make a dough.
Set a sponge the evening before with a pint of milk, a gill of yeast, a little salt, and flour enough to make a thick batter. The next morning stir the butter and sugar together, whisk the eggs, and add to it with the sponge and other ingredients, and flour enough to form a dough. Knead it, butter your pan, put in the dough; let it rise. When it is light bake it.
My version (that was probably too dry), half recipe (in US measurements because I have a lot of work to do and don't have the energy to convert to metric, I'm sorry)
For the sponge:
1/4 cup natural yeast
1 cup milk
pinch of salt
1.5 cup flour
For the dough:
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (room temperature)
2 eggs
1tbsp cinnamon
3.5 cups flour
Pinch of salt
Mix the yeast, milk, salt, and 1.5 cup flour in a bowl and let sit for 6-8 hours to form a sponge.
When it has sponged, mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and add them, cinnamon, salt, and yeast sponge to the bowl. Add in the 3.5 cups flour and knead to form the dough. Butter your baking pan, put in the dough, cover it, and leave it to rise until it is light. Bake in a 350F oven for 25-30 minutes.
Please note that mine did not work. If I make this again, I will halve the amount of flour in the second stage of dough-making and use a different pan (perhaps the tube pans that Dr. Stanfield talked about) and maybe that would allow the dough to rise.

Election Day Flag Cake
Election Day 2020 is here at last, and to celebrate -- or, maybe, to relieve stress and keep away from the TV -- I spent last evening putting together a cake for today. This is a sheet cake made in a Birmingham Stove & Range Sportsman fish fryer, measuring 17 inches long by 9 inches wide. I used a pound cake recipe for the cake, with a buttercream frosting. The recipe for this cake can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at:
If you haven't voted by today, please go out and vote while there's still time. And especially during these trying times, keep safe.
