What is a “Pig Pickin cake?
“Pig Pickin” cake got its moniker for being the expected dessert dish at a southern pig roast. This light and fluffy tropical dessert cake is as much of southern tradition as cornbread, pecan pie, and sweet tea! A “pig pickin’” is a time-honored southern social event steeped in tradition and exalted by many! North Carolina Governor, Bob Scott, went so far as to declare NC the “Pig Pickin’ Capital of the World” in 1972!
