Craving the kind of desserts that have been passed down through generations? In this video, Nicole makes five classic Southern sweets that prove some recipes never go out of style. From creamy, nostalgic favorites to old-fashioned cakes, candy, and pie, these beloved desserts still taste just as amazing today.
She kicks things off with a classic Banana Pudding layered with creamy pudding, bananas, and vanilla wafers, followed by a rich and chocolatey Coca-Cola Cake. Next up is old-fashioned Divinity Candy, a light and fluffy Southern confection, before Nicole makes a moist, fruit-filled Hummingbird Cake. Finally, she finishes with Vinegar Pie, a resourceful vintage dessert that transforms simple pantry ingredients into a sweet, surprisingly delicious treat.
Whether you grew up eating these Southern classics or you’re trying them for the first time, these five nostalgic desserts are worth keeping around for generations to come.

Would love to see more recipes, including pineapple upside down cake and frozen heavenly hash
I’m glad I’m not the only one who does a happy dance when I taste something delicious.
My mom used to make divinity … I remember her talking about stringing a pearl – Nicole or anyone has anyone else heard this phrase? I couldn’t remember what that meant ..just googled it and it said it was a way to test the temperature visually without a thermometer..too much to explain. Just google it!
People not icing/fridting the side of a hummingbird cake is sacrilege!!!
