any cake.

Btw, if you ever run across a recipe for brandied fruitcake torte and you're tempted to try it, but it seems to have a LOT of sugar, you might want to steer clear of it in case it's the one I made, decades ago. Took me hours, and it looked really nice, but it was so damn sweet you could get sick from more than a half-inch slice. I ended up throwing most of it out.

I don't usually buy brandy, though, and I enjoyed the rest of the bottle.
