Old English Cherry Cake image

I just came across this recipe in an old "Edith Adams Christmas Baking" flyer. She was the nutritionist for the Vancouver Sun newspaper and THE guru of Vancouver house wives (a local Martha Stewart of the forties and fifties)' Store this cake as you would any Christmas cake. A nice change from dark fruit cake
