Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Lorraine and Gerald Hartung were Mom's neighbors at her William Street apartment and Lorraine is an avid and generous baker. Among the many treats she brought Mom (both at the apartment and Royal Terrace) was this cake which was so moist and tasty. Lorraine gave Edith the recipe which was not very precise and contained exact (sic) instructions like 1 bag of raisins. Edith filled in the details. Deluxe mixed fruit contains more cherries than regular mixed fruit.
