Lady Baltimore cake is a vintage Southern multilayered dessert featuring a dried fruit and nut filling encased in fluffy white boiled seven-minute frosting. The dried fruit filling is customarily cooked with honey and rum to soften the fruit. The cake's name originates from an eponymous 1961 romance novel by Owen Wister set in South Carolina about a wedding cake baker. A prominent Northeasterner who enjoyed the cake as a childhood birthday standard describes the boiled frosting as the best part. Recipes and detailed directions for the cake are available online.
