Ann Davies' Cake
"From a Welsh cake recipe collection purchased in Wales in 1992. "Ann Davies was a baker in Kidwelly in south-west Wales at the beginning of the 20th century, famous for her fruit cake. She was apparently prepared to part with her recipe, probably for a small sum, as bakers then did sometimes sell their recipes. This one was much prized by housewifes in south Wales." Te mixed spice, I guess, is something like pumpkin spice mix...."
