Thank you for the memories. We emigrated to Canada when I was a baby. There was always a “weekly cake” in a tin on the kitchen counter. Sometimes our mom made it with raisins, other times with marmalade, which we called sticky cake, or with raisins, or slivered almonds and almond essence, or glacé cherries. On Sundays my brothers and sisters (7 of us) came home to visit for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. Many years later, when we were cleaning out cupboards we found 2 very well preserved plum puddings.
I do hate raisins in any baked item, but am curious to know if a recipe that calls for a pound of fruit will work if all of that fruit is left out (also don't really like apples in cakes, either). But I want to try it.
Sounds great. Will have to try it. Thank you.
LMK what you think!

Wonderful! I'm eager to try this.
