Question by iWill: Do any of you have some good Liberian or Soul Food recipes?
I know more of the soul food recipes such as collards, fried chicken, and black-eyed peas. Its for a culture project and I was specifically looking for Liberian desserts or even traditional slavery foods.

Here's a recipe I found when I was planning to travel there.

LIBERIAN RICE CAKE

* 1/2 pound butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups rice flour (* see below for substitute)
* 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 cup milk
* 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream the butter and add the sugar gradually. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Preheat oven to 325°. Sift the rice flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda together. Add to the egg mixture alternately with the milk. Beat constantly. Add the nutmeg and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into a 12-inch buttered loaf pan. Bake in a 325° oven for 35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.

(*In place of rice flour you can use baby rice-cereal which you can get in any supermarket so there are no hard-to-find ingredients.)
