These are a few other recipes for this kind of cake.  Every recipe book that I have from the 1800’s and through the mid 1900’s has a recipe for this cake, they go back in to history as the early specialty cakes made with fruits and nuts.  Usually for celebratory occasions such as weddings, holidays and Birthdays.
