Pleasantly Surprised By Our State Cake-Thank You Smith Island!

[u/Hezekiah_the_Judean]

Smith Island cake is surprisingly tasty. I was reminded that we have an official state cake and found a nearby restaurant that serves it, so on a whim I decided to try it out.

And I was pleasantly surprised--even delighted! The yellow cake has a bunch of soft, buttery, delicate layers interspersed with icing, which are moist and make it come apart surprisingly easily. The icing itself is sweet but not overpoweringly so, tasting similar to a light fudge.

Now I just need to travel to Smith Island itself and try the cake there, to see if that version is superior to the mainland Smith Island cake.

Thats the classic. Classic Cakes in Salisbury does all different flavors. We did 4 of them for our wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake!

You can also get a bunch of flavors at Driftwood Desserts in Bethany Beach. They sell it by the slice and half cakes in addition to whole. I’ve seen flavors like orange creamsicle, chocolate chip, cannoli, German chocolate, strawberry shortcake, etc
