The Appalachian wedding-and-funeral cake of stacked spiced ginger biscuit layers cemented with dried-apple butter, sliced thin and aged a day before serving.
Stack cake originated in Appalachian Kentucky and East Tennessee in the 1800s as a community-built wedding cake where each guest brought a layer to be assembled at the reception with home-canned apple butter or dried-apple filling between each. Magpies Bakery on North Central runs the modern Knoxville version on its special-order menu, and East Tennessee bakeries serve it during apple season from late August through November.
