Pig Lickin’ cake is a traditional Southern treat. Mama’s were always a huge hit at the annual fundraiser, even if the making of them brought back memories of a tragedy . . .
My mama knew how to make a cake. You could guarantee if there was a church bazaar or potluck where desserts were going to be auctioned off, Father Horst would stop by our house a few weeks ahead of time to ask Mama to donate two of her cakes. Normally, he didn’t care what kind of cakes Mama made, but for the annual Ladies Auxiliary Fourth of July Potluck fundraiser, he’d come, hat in hand, sweet talking her to bake two of her Pig Lickin’ cakes. He’d tell her there wasn’t anyone else in the whole county who made a cake as light and moist as her Mandarin orange specialty.
