1789 ANBUREY Travels II. 335 Hoe cake is Indian corn ground into meal, kneaded into dough, and baked before a fire, but as the negroes bake theirs on the hoes that they work with, they have the appellation of hoe-cakes. (A Dictionary of Americanisms) Thus, a corn meal cake baked in front of a fire using the flat blade of a hoe in place of a pan or board. |
