When we ordered our other Scottish food online from the location based in the US, we couldn't get a Dundee cake because they were all out. So, I had to order one all the way from Scotland!
It just arrived this week.
Very similar to a fruit cake, the Dundee cake has raisins, orange peel, and almonds. It does not have cherries, because legend has it that the cake was first made in the early 1800s for Mary, Queen of Scots, who didn't like cherries.
