Navajo Cake............

Now -- this was an experience for you..............this is the Navajo Cake they use for ceremonies....they use it for the Puberty Ceremony...........it is mostly corn, flour, raisens and water.. It is made by the young girl for all of the people at the ceremony..........they dig a big pit and put the wood in until it is coals.......then cover it with corn husks.............they have to grind all of the corn, mix the dough and then put it into the ground over the corn husks.........(some of thenm have about 5 five gallon buckets of dough......) then they cover it with more husks and more coals and let it bake in the ground...............I am sorry.............but I would have to be pretty hungry to eat this..... Our friends brought us some and we shared it around as much as we could.....it is a very "heavy" cake!!! I'm sure it would really stick to the ribs....................
