I’m in South Carolina and we make a 10 layer cake! Sooo good!
I’m from northwest Georgia and we grew up with this cake. So I beg to differ. Many of my Georgia friends and relatives make this.
I’ve had this growing up in South Carolina!
Layer by layer is absolutely the best way. The last layer to eat , which is the top of the cake, is the grand prize, but entire cake is heaven on a plate. My grandmother used to make me for my birthday every year, but she past on about 15 years ago, and I havent had one since. I wish I could bake. Thanks for this video, as I can still taste it.
Layer by layer is best! My wife made this for me last night and it’s to die for!!
Now these are both the way i remember icing and cakes being made. We never used regular for cakes. We always use cake flour or white lily.
Yes a party without a cake is just a meeting 🤣
I grew up.wating this cake all my life and I'm from NC.
This looks like the "Smith Island Cake" which has been prepared for generations by the people on the eastern shore of Maryland on Smith Island. And it is the official state cake of Maryland. It has a very long Maryland tradition. Of course, many do not consider Maryland to be a "southern state" but if you get out the maps you'll see that Maryland is indeed south of the Mason-Dixon line.
We love our friends in Maryland!
Don't worry if you're good enough for the Southerner. They are in no way superior to you. I'm not an easterner, which both north and south are to me.
I'm from Maryland
It may be south of the Mason Dixon, but I have lived in Virginia and been to Maryland. The people are Not Southern, although we accept you if you want to be a Southerner.
@@mikebtrfld1705 Wow you really wanna turn this sweet ladies cake recipe video into something that thats saying South is superior to otheres,really???? Why are you even here do you bake cakes?
Its a dam shame how grown ass adults act these days,what idiots!
Apple Stackcake.
There. I said it.
The cake looks delicious and the presenter is charming.
Looks sooooooooo DELICIOUS, I must try this one; Thanks for sharing 😊
I made a 14 layer Smith Island Cake today. It was fun and tasted out of this world.
My grandmother used to make this, but she cooked each layer like a pancake.
Thats what i think. It would ne easier then using all those layers.
If this cake isn't served at my wedding I won't attend
I am making this for my dad's birthday. He loves chocolate cake.
Let us know how it goes, Mark!
My granddaddy makes a 16 layer cake just like this every year for thanksgiving and christmas and it is the best cake ever!!! I'm sure your dad will love it!
AWESOME INFORMATION AND VIDEO YUMMIEST
My step-mother's dad made these for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Except he would use a cast iron skillet to bake the layers. That was in Richmond County, right on the gnat line. Yours is exactly how I remember!
Honestly, I never really loved the chocolate cake, but he also made a red velvet little layer cake, which was OMG. It had a boiled cream cheese frosting that pretty much infused all the little layers. It was amazing, and it ruined red velvet cakes for me because I have never EVER tasted any other that even comes close!
My NC grandma has made this
Yeah we call it whatever layer cake it is I'm from North Carolina like 10 layer 12 layer 14 layer cake
That cake was made in Maryland for years.
Almost like a German Tree cake, there's the traditional spit fire one and one that you make layer by layer like this but with apricot jam. Going to make this for my son's birthday.
Thank you for the recipe
This is a smith island cake it’s the state cake of Maryland
I was wondering about the origin of the 18 layer cake. Because there is a similar desert in Indonesia but, they use a bread pan to make the layers. It is a gift left to them by the Dutch colonists.
This is definitely a Smith Island Cake and originated in Maryland!
It looks similar to a Smith Island cake.
Its smith island cake from Maryland
Looks like Smilth Island cake
It's all quite funny. This young lady has a story to go along with her recipe and video. I thought she was delightful in her presentation. It's seems many of the commenters on here need a history lesson or two maybe three. I suppose no one ever entertains the idea people interacted through out the country through friends and relatives from colonial days on. I could not imagine anyone ever sharing a recipe that could result in you being tarred and feathered! I am a proud Son of the South too. True southerners are nice people and overlook the shortcomings of others.
I do indeed wish that GNAT LINE was a true barrier to keep those aggravating little boogers way down in the deep south.
Chocolate and thus Chocolate Cake wasn't introduced to this country until after 1870. If you want a true southern colonial cake try a Caramel Cake, use the recipe from the Williamsburg Cookbook, you cake make in as many layers as you wish. Save me a piece.
Very reminiscent of baumkuchen.
....and very much.like "Prinz Regenten Torte" which like "Baumkuchen" originated in Germany.
It looks kinda like pancakes and nutella
funny, that was my thought, and I thought, the layers look like pancakes, so why not just fry the cake batter
I have tried one similar in Chile and they call it the pancake cake
OK thank you for the video, may we have the ingredient list?
Or a link to the recipe?
For a single old lady...
18 layers would be a bit too much 😆
measurements for a 2 or 3 layer would really be great👍🏼
Looks like the old 13 layer jelley cakes.
Jakey boy. It's also the only Confederate monument in Maryland on state owned property
Any special guidelines when cooking this icing?
Where can I find the written recipie? Thanks
More than your grandmother does this cake mine did too and none of this history is behind it.
She never said only her grandmother made this cake and the history she told behind it is facts ..and btw bet your grandma never this cake lol dummy
“When I was 13 and got my kitchensid mixed” wtf
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I was about 45 when I got mine (25 yrs ago) and it was $200 then.
CifIcare I still don’t have one 😂
Do you sell your cakes🥰
The evaporated milk - do you dilute the milk?
Alice Whitfield you but evaporated milk in a can at the grocery store!
what kind of cocoa do you use?
Any unsweetened cocoa powder will work!
North Carolina has been doing this cake before her grandma was shittin yellow....
But she clearly states that no one outside of southern Georgia is worthy! I too found her arrogance annoying. I’ve eaten this cake as far north as Ohio. Apparently she hasn’t gotten out very often.
Its not like a pecan pie or something that screams southern dish its literally just a chocolate cake I'm pretty sure you can get that anywhere
Exactly. I showed my family this video and we all giggled at her stupidity. North Carolina been doing this.
Josh Taylor so has Tennessee.
Josh Taylor and I’ve eaten it here in Washington state.
Where is the recipe?
It may be a Southern cake but why say it cant be found North?
Cherokee Heart CT because of the flour. You can only get the flour in southern states. Which is an important ingredient
@@laurenturner8818 oh ok I don't have time to watch the video but what flour is it,White Lily ?i made a cake like biscuit ,and they didnt like the frosting I guess they r use to the canned frosting.
Cherokee Heart CT yes while lily sells that particular type of flour. But honestly I followed this to a tee and my icing came out way thinner than it was what it looks like in this video. I don’t care for it either. Something was off with it
@@laurenturner8818 yeah they wouldn't eat it,my Gma use to make this cake I use her recipe they loved the cake dont last long.if you wanna tryba diff I.can give the recipe to ya to try
Chocolate. Pancakes
Where's the vanilla ice cream??
Bulllllshittttttt people in East NC love this cake! We just use 12 though, everything is the same
Yes we do!
Apparently, her other favorite southern tradition is trying to rewrite history......
Can I have a bite🤤
golly!:)
💖😮🍰🍰
Don't u have to use salt to activate the baking powder. If so how much?
Hi Denise! Find the full recipe on our site here: goo.gl/f3EitJ
Southern Living thanks. i just used 1/2 tsp plus 1/4 tsp of salt since it was 4 1/2 cups of flour abs 2 tbsp of baking powder. i made it last night and it came out great!!
But yes I’d anyone comes upon this later you def need to add salt. I made it with salt and then without and it made a huge difference
@@laurenturner8818 yes they need to edit their recipe. Unsalted butter plus no salt in recipe = disaster.
Glad I knew enough back then to know that🤣🤣
mitilda cake

Just steeling the German baumkuchen..
Probably a hand down (tweaked over the years) recipe from German pple who came over around the 1800's
Yup somebody too Smith Island Cake from Maryland and renamed it. Shame on you Southern Living.
