SMITH ISLAND TEN-LAYER CAKE
This is a recipe I got from our local newscast from the lady named Mary Ida, who makes them here in Md. She states that you can make the cake layers as thin or thick as you like them, it's all in your taste. You can also use any type of icing...strawberry creme, german chocolate, peach creme, etc., but she used the icing below the most. Times below are estimates...I have not personally made this cake yet...Yet! lol I will have to make 4 layers at a time since I only have 4 cake pans, and I'll probably be making mine an 8 layer) so that's how I got 24 min. cook time. If you make the layers thicker, they'll of course have to bake longer.

Steps:
- Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.
- Sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
- Mix into egg mixture one cup at a time.
- With mixer running, slowly pour in the evaporated milk, then the vanilla and water. Mix just until uniform.
- Put three serving spoonfuls of batter in each of ten 9-inch lightly greased pans, using the back of the spoon to spread evenly.
- Bake three layers at a time on the middle rack of the oven at 350° for 8 minutes. A layer is done when you hold it near your ear and you don't hear it sizzle.
- Start making the icing when the first layers go in the oven.
- Put the cake together as the layers are finished.
- Let layers cool a couple of minutes in the pans. Run a spatula around the edge of the pan and ease the layer out of the pan. Don't worry if it tears; no one will notice when the cake is finished.
- Use two and three serving spoonfuls of icing between each layer.
- Cover the top and sides of the cake with the rest of the icing. Push icing that runs onto the plate back onto the cake.
- Directions for Icing:.
- Put sugar and evaporated milk in a medium pan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until warm. Add chocolate and cook to melt. Add butter and melt. Cook over medium heat at a slow boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add vanilla. Icing will be thin but thickens as it cools.

MRS KITCHING'S SMITH ISLAND 10-LAYER CAKE
Recipe #291536 SILC is a lot less work than this one, but this is the one that won the local paper's contest. It's from a Mrs Kitching and the newspaper states all judges loved it and..."While somewhat plain, it had a real butter flavor, with no unpleasant aftertaste, and an even, if somewhat dense texture." and the frosting was what "...keeps the cake alive." I put "assembly" time into preparation time, and the icing stovetop time into the cooking time.

Steps:
- Lightly grease and flour dust 10 (or aim at baking 3 at a time) 9-inch round pans. (I also use greased parchment on bottom.) Oven middle rack, 350°F.
- Cream together sugar and butter.
- Add eggs one at a time. Beat till smooth.
- Sift flour with salt and baking powder and mix into batter one cup at a time.
- Slowly pour in evaporated milk while mixing.
- Then add vanilla and water till batter is uniform.
- Put 1/2 cup of batter into pan, smoothing out with back of spoon.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until it no longer 'sizzles' in pan. Layers will be slightly golden and released from pan edges. Let cool only 3 minutes in pan.
- Run spatula around edge (if it tears, use as a middle layer.) and cool on rack.
- Icing: Melt butter then remove from heat.
- Stir in evaporated milk.
- Whisk in cocoa till smooth and return to low heat for 10 minutes. Stir and do NOT boil or scorch.
- Remove from heat and whisk in confectioners' sugar slowly.
- Return to low heat occasionally stirring for about 45 minutes or until icing is thick and sticks to back of spoon or whisk. Cool.
- Put two tablespoons of icing between each layer and spread just barely to the edge before next layer goes on top. Take your time as icing will be 'fluid' and harden or dry out slowly.

- Preheat oven to 350° with rack in middle setting. A traditional Smith Island Cake has 8 to 12 layers. Most ovens can fit three 9-inch cake pans, so for a nine-layer cake, bake three layers at a time. Lightly butter three pans, and re-butter after each set.
- Cream together sugar and butter, add eggs, and beat until smooth with mixer. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder, then add to egg mixture one cup at a time mixing as you go.
- While beating with mixer, slowly add the evaporated milk, vanilla, and water. Mix until the batter has a smooth, even texture.
- Put about 2/3 of a cup of the batter into each of the three greased pans spreading evenly across the entire pan. Bake each in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. If you are reusing the pans (We’re guessing you don’t have nine cake pans!), let the layers cool in the pans, then gently remove the layers and set aside while you prepare the next batch. Running a spatula or butter knife around the inside edge can help free the cake. Stack the layers with a generous layer of icing between each cake.
