Notes about this recipe

  • tarae1204 on February 10, 2022

    I once had Moravian sugar cake in a small bakery in Lititz, Pennsylvania (Amish area), and the humble looking cake completely exceeded my expectations in its deliciousness. It’s a simple yeasted cake whose dough is enriched with mashed potato. The top is dimpled, and the dimples create extra surface area for the sugar crumble topping. It’s also a very historic cake, associated with Moravian communities who came to the US in the 18th century. So I’ve wanted to make this cake for a long time, and I’ve found recipes for it to be rather sparse. This was the first attempt and it wasn’t my favorite. I found the flavors of orange zest and muscavado sugar to be too bittersweet. The cake I had was milder while still deeply flavored. The texture of the cake was fine, however. I’ll keep trying other variations.
