These are Pennsylvania Dutch Funny Cakes, baked in a pie crust with a chocolate “funny” layer that sinks to the bottom while baking. Combine 1 cup sugar, cocoa, water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat to the boiling point, but do not boil.
The funny cake recipe is an easy dessert to make, too. Put your favorite pie crust (homemade or store bought) in a pie pan and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake layer by combining cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, unsalted butter, vanilla extract and an egg, plus some chopped walnuts in a mixing bowl.
Amish food is simple tasting not pizzazy and this funny cake is very delicate on the palate. It’s not heavy on the stomach and not overpowering. I plan to make it on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing!
If you live near Amish country in the northeastern part of the United States, you may have a handwritten family recipe that’s been passed down over the years.
