Re: I'm back!

Happy St. Stephen's Day Andrea & Auralie!
Congrats on the new computer and welcome back!
Googled Lane Cake photos and the most I saw was 4 layers.  The "Lane" name
in the recipe sounds like it has more to do with the filling than the number
of layers, though most of the recipes I came across mentioned 4 layers.  The
Lane filling described on one was comprised of: Egg yolks, Sugar, Butter at
room temperature, Brandy, Water, Candied cherries-finely chopped,
Raisins-seeded-coarsely chopped, Pecans-chopped, Coconut-shredded.
I was a bit puzzled by "Raisins-seeded-coarsely chopped".  Any raisins I've
ever used were seedless.  Does seeded mean to remove the seeds or to buy
raisins with seeds - provided you could find any. ???
