Nevada - Basque Cake with Cherry Preserves Nevada has one of the largest Basque populations in the United States and their culinary culture is prevalent particularly in Reno and northern Nevada.

According to Nevada Magazine "Basque settlers made their way to Nevada during the mining booms of the mid to late 1800s and into the 1900s. While mining was the catalyst, most Basques discovered they could make better money providing meat and wool to miners, and Nevada’s open spaces proved the perfect fit for their herds."

Today there are many Basque family style restaurants in Nevada and Basque Cake is a typical sweet!
