NC Pig Pickin Cake

[BigTurtle]

Hand me down recipe from a gal at work when I lived in Raleigh. She was North of 60 at the time. I've added the strawberries and I've used maraschino cherries a few times too. Blot the cherries though. I made this today. It's chilling now. I'll post the hand written recipe.

I served it when I had my restaurant. Made two a day ( night) and sold out daily. Taste bud magic.

Sounds like a winner. And simple too.
That does seem like a lot of oil though????

Not really. I thought so too but it works. Feel free to play with it.

Thanks for the recipe, sounds good.
Looking forward to the sliced pica.

I'll have to give it a go next weekend maybe.

Nope. It was meant to be a lite dessert after pig Pickin events like dinner on the ground or church home comings here in Dixie. Feel free to make it your own.
