My New Guilty Pleasure

You may have heard about it, the Smith Island Cake. It's the Maryland State Cake (didn't know states had a state cake...)

Anyway, I just thought it was a multi-layer cake. Giant had mini-versions of a few varieties, so I got a chocolate.

omg.

After I devoured that one, I got a coconut version.

omg.

They had a red velvet too, but I don't dare go back there again.

You can order the full size versions online.

My new guilty pleasure has been tiramisu. Still haven't gotten around to making one, though.

I thought it was just a multi-layered cake as well. Are the ingredients different somehow? :confused:

This time of year refrigerated Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs are my guilty pleasure. That and the Cadbury Mini Eggs.

After your Mascarpone tread I made one. I made the cheese first - very easy, just have to do it a day ahead. I didn't realize how much coffee the lady fingers would soak up, so I ended up with too much coffee in it, and therefore too much liquid. But the flavors and textures were good.

Where would you recommend getting some really good tiramisu so I have something to compare mine to? The only ones I've found have ingredients like "coffee flavoring" and instead of custard it's really a pudding. I know better than to think the chain restaurants would be "authentic."

McKays, the new old one. I don't see it every time I go in, so I'd call first, and I've only seen it in individual servings, not the whole cake.

Since my wife and kids don't like coffee, I ended up eating the whole thing by myself. My belt will pop if I do that again, so the individual is perfect.

Which McKay's is "new old?"

On L-town road. The McKays in L-town has horrible tiramisu. Don't go there.
