OK, forgive my ignorance, but what does the name of the cake have to do with the actual cake?

This cake is traditionally served at North Carolina barbeques. It is a light tasting dessert. For best results, make ahead and keep in the fridge for a day or two before serving. It's very quick and simple to make!


Of course you would have to understand what a pig pickin' is.
