I give up.
This is sure different. Looks pretty in the picture too, they have it cut in squares sitting on what looks like a cheese board. Cheap to make, comparatively. Again from the 1950 State of Maine Potato cookbook:
Moravian Sugar Cake:
1 cup hot mashed potatoes
1 cup sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups sifted flour
2 yeast cakes dissolved in 1 cup lukewarm water
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup brown sugar
Topping:
1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons sugar
Mix mashed potatoes, sugar, butter and salt in large bowl. Add 1 cup flour. Mix well and add yeast misture. Sift in remaining four alternately with eggs. Let rise in covered bowl overnight. In morning, turn out on floured board, knead lightly. Place dough in buttered 17" x 11" x 2 1/4" baking pan, patting out to fit pan. Let rise 2 hours. Press deep holes in dough at 2-inch intervals with thumb. Fill holes with brown sugar mixed with melted butter (about 2 tablespoons). Brush top of cake with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 30 minutes.
