> I remember gingerbrede as being hard crumbs stuck together with honey. I figured that this was the closest I'd get to the honey cake I know. Panforte sounds yummy. Lebkutchen is probably the closest to the pound cake recipe, IMO. Thanks for all the info, I was curious and thought I'd ask.

file in the FOOD-SWEETS section of the Florilegium:
