Lane Cake

I am delighted to have found this recipe again. My mother always made this Lane Cake at Xmas time back in the 50's and it is undoubtedly the best fruitcake I have ever eaten. It is best made and let "ripen" a week or so before eating it. I intend to make one during this holiday season. Pat in Raleigh, NC
