What is the name of the cake that is usually served in New Orleans?

I'm originally from New Orleans and somebody asked me a question that I'm having trouble remembering the name. A lady asked me what the cake is called and how to make it. I knew immediately what she was talking about but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the cake. The last time that I had some of the unknown cake was over twenty years ago when I worked in Avondale. Here are some of the facts of the unknown cake that I remember when I saw my grandmother make one. The cake is made when you have about five different kinds of cake that are baked. The cakes are pulled into pieces and the pieces that are pulled are usually put in a punch bowl. You take a spoon and mix the pieces together. The last thing that I remember was some kind of liquid was poured over the cake pieces in the punch bowl. There are other ingredients used in making the cake but I can't remember them at all. I also remember that the cake was delicious. Does anyone remember the name of the cake that I'm talking about?
