A fact from Election cake appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 June 2026 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Americans ate election cakes at weddings and high teas?
... that Americans ate election cakes at weddings and high teas?
Source: Stavely and Fitzgerald (2004) America's Founding Food: The Story of New England Cooking, quoting John Howard Redfield in Life In The Connecticut River Valley 1800-1840 from the Recollections of John Howard Redfield (1988 ed.).
p. 255: "In preparation for [Election week] every family baked ovenfuls of what was called "election cake," which was a delicious loaf cake, too sacred to be used for anything but weddings, high teas, and Election week."
ALT1: ... that an 18th century cookbook contained recipes for election cake alongside recipes for independence cake and federal pan cake?
Source: A Taste of Power: Food and American Identities (2015), p. 32: "But the second edition had its own political moments. Simmons added recipes such as "Election Cake," "Independence Cake," and "Federal Pan Cake"".
New enough (created from a redirect on May 16), long enough. No issue regarding prose. 5.7% on Earwig. No issue for the hook but I'll go with ALT0 with this one. Although, nom does not need QPQ, my GOAT still reviewed an article. You can probably use that article again btw as you still don't need QPQ for this nom. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?)
