The Lane Cake - a uniquely Southern dessert, with its roots in Alabama. Layers of soft white cake sponge, with a custard filling loaded with pecans, coconut, raisins, a heavy splash of bourbon, and then covered all over with fluffy 7-minute frosting. The Lane Cake was made famous in the classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird", when Scout declared "Miss Maudie baked a Lane cake so loaded with shinny it made me tight!"
In 2016 the Lane Cake was voted the official state cake of Alabama - who knew??
