"Make 3 to 4 weeks in advance and let mellow in wrap. Glaze with heated apple or red currant jelly, or a sweet glaze of 2 tablespoons corn syrup with 1 tablespoon water. For a richer flavor, pour wine of brandy over cake before wrapping, or wrap in wine dampened cloths and place in a tightly covered container. Store in the fridge and serve thinly sliced. Makes 2 cakes."
