This is the real deal... ho cake was well known in rural south
Mississippi. It comes from the
melting pot of cultures that makes south
Mississippi so unique. Gaulette is the fancier form of ho cake. Ho cake was made on a metal hoe. A very poor person’s food usually consisting of flour, water, and oil but actually yummy. I would imagine anything was added to it that was available, for example, fruit, milk, and/or cornmeal😉
