Comments
This cake is one of the most sought after cakes in my family around Christmas (although it is isn't technically a Christmas cake).

There is generally some good natured squawking about who got the biggest piece (and how come you didn't leave me any). Every Christmas is heighted due to the knowledge that this cake will cap the meal.

My mother calls it a German cake and since she is pure blood German, I believe it. (Boy is she stubborn too!)
