- Lucile Says: We made this cake a lot while I was growing up on the farm during the Depression. We rendered our own lard, so it was our standard shortening. It didn't need frosting, as it was like an inexpensive fruit cake. It stayed moist for a long time, if you could keep it around for which long.
