It is made with a sweet yeast dough enriched with mashed potatoes. The dough is left to rise in a flat pan, and just before baking, deep wells are formed in the surface of the dough with the finger tips, and a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon is poured on top. During baking, this forms a rich sugary crust that permeates deep into the interior of the cake. Moravian Sugar Cake is best served warm from the oven, but it keeps at room temperature for several days, and also freezes well. HistoryThe Moravian settlers who came to North Carolina in 1753 and founded Salem in 1766 brought this recipe with them from eastern Pennsylvania and their settlements there. Moravian Sugar Cake is very similar to the German Zuckerkuchen (i.e. Sugar Cake) made in Berlin and Butterkuchen(Butter Cake) in Lüneburg. Inclusion of mashed potatoes in the dough may derive from the practice of using potatoes in dough starters to boost the growth of natural yeasts.[1] Often made for Holy Week and Easter, its popularity soon led to its appearance at other holidays and festive occasions, especially Christmas. Over the centuries, the recipe for Moravian sugar cake has changed little, and its renown has spread far beyond Winston-Salem so that it has become a beloved North Carolina breakfast confection.[2] Freshly baked sugar cakes are available at stores and bakeries in Winston-Salem and across the N.C. Piedmont region.[3][4] See also
