Amish Funny Cake, it's really a pie!!! - Barbarainnc - 08-31-2007 Anyone ever eat this pie or make one? I was looking for an Amish Chocolate Shoofly Pie recipe and saw a recipe for this. Just wondered if anyone has tried this. What I can tell you pour a chocolate filling in the pie crust and top with a white filling. When it bakes the chocolate sort of rises to the middle of the pie. So there is a layer of white, chocolate then white. They say the white layer is sort of like cake. Sounds interesting.

It seems as though it should be pretty simple, but the one recipe I tried a while back did not taste anything like the one from Achenbach's Bakery in New Holland, PA. Maybe there's is different in some way, or maybe there are regional differences, as well. What sayest thou? Re: Amish Funny Cake, it's really a pie!!! - bbally - 08-31-2007 This is the one I make: After Supper place: 2 cups of warm mashed potatoes 1 package of yeast 1 cup white sugar in a bowl to rise for around three hours. After the rise mix 1 egg 1 cup melted butter (warm not hot) Add enough sifted flour to make a dough that will form into a ball In the AM put the dough into pans, smoothing it out with the palm of the hand, as it will be too thin to roll out. Let it rise until very light, after risen make deep holes, about an inch apart. In each hole put a tablespoon of butter, hit it with a pinch of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons light brown sugar Bake in a 375 F oven til golden brown on top.

The potatoes would make sense for the difference in flavour and texture that I remember. @Linda: In this case, the use of the older English was a nod to the Amish. |
