Pick On cake or Pickin Cake recipe? What is this cake called?!
Answers: I am NOT looking for a recipe for pig pickin' cake. Unfortunately I know Pickin cake is not the correct name for the cake I want a recipe for but it is what grandma called it. The cake she made was in the shape of a bundt cake but it was made up of a whole bunch of little doughy balls that you would pick off and eat (why she called it pick on cake). There was definitely a strong cinnamon taste to it and the balls of the cake were covered in a sweet gooey syrup (possibly honey or molasses). If you either have a recipe or a name for this cake so I can search it I would really appriciate it. No one in my family that I asked knows how to make it and they all just call it pick on cake. I miss all the times she made it for me and I want to make it for my daughter.
