Maine Specialty Desserts - The "Crazy Clam" Island Buttermilk Cake
If you haven't been to Little Cranberry Island, you've probably never had this cake. We've never tasted anything quite like it. We make it from a recipe that's been passed down among island families for over 100 years. Why is our cake a "crazy" clam? Well, on Little Cranberry, it's known as Island Gingerbread, even though there's NO ginger in it. Isn't that crazy?

"Crazy Clam" Island Buttermilk Cake
Our Island Buttermilk cake has an old fashioned taste that reminds us of the warmth of our island kitchen all year long. When the Woodlawn Hotel was on Little Cranberry over a century ago, it was called "white gingerbread" and served every morning. We still eat it in the morning for breakfast, in the afternoon with tea or lemonade, and in the evening for dessert. Each brown and white checked package contains 2 cakes.
