An American regional term for a small deep-fried pastry — essentially a doughnut or fritter by another name, common especially in the Midwest and Northeast. Friedcakes were a staple of early American baking, made by dropping spiced dough into hot fat and frying until golden. While 'doughnut' has largely taken over, friedcake persists in older cookbooks, rural dialects, and family recipe cards where it marks a connection to pre-industrial home cooking traditions.
Her grandmother's recipe box was full of gems, including a friedcake recipe that used nutmeg and cider.
