30. Smith Island Cake (official cake of Maryland)

Fri Apr 10, 2026, 02:08 PM

Friday

For those who haven't heard of it, it's a cake made from lots of thin layers of yellow cake separated by chocolate frosting (and frosted all over with chocolate frosting). I'm of the "cake is only there to support the frosting" school, lol.

Raspberry torte sounds yummy too!
