plum cake
Raisin-studded holiday bake
Plum cake is a rich, dense cake studded with dried fruits—raisins, currants, candied peel—and sometimes nuts, typically flavored with spices and soaked in alcohol.
Despite the name, it rarely contains plums; "plum" historically meant dried fruit generally.
Traditional at Christmas in Britain and former colonies: Grandmother's plum cake takes weeks to mature properly.
