INFO: An old English fruit cake that got its name from the stained glass window because of the appearance of each slice. It is sometimes known as American Christmas cake and it is more of a fruit and nut slab than a cake. This cake should be stored in the refrigerator, and wrapped in aluminium foil. As it is so sweet serve only thin slices; it can be served with sherry.
