A 9 inch Smith Island Cake is a traditional multi layer cake. Because it is rich and layered, it is usually cut into small to medium slices. On average, small slices serve 12 to 16 people, and medium slices serve 10 to 12 people. For most gatherings, a 9 inch cake comfortably feeds 10 to 16 guests, depending on slice size.
Smith Island Cake - Classic Chocolate Handling & Preparation
How to Serve and Slice Your Smith Island Cake
- Thaw properly: Remove the frozen cake from the packaging and let it thaw in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Bring to serving temperature: For the best flavor and texture, serve chilled or allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife: Because the cake has multiple thin layers, a long, sharp knife works best. Wipe the knife clean between slices for neat, even pieces.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut into small to medium slices. Each bite offers a perfect balance of cake and chocolate frosting.
