The immortalized cake is a three layered white cake that is moist with a filling comprised of nuts, rasins, and on occasion other fruits such as figs. It is usually frosted with a white boiled icing. To get the history and background of this wonderful treat you have to go to : http://www.southernfood.about.com/food/s... - where you can learn the interesting tidbits that go into this urban legend.
If you have never seen an actual Lady Baltimore Cake then you can view one at Victoria Magazine’s Online Cookbook where it is complimented by a recipe for the cake. http://www.food.women.com/food/recipes/D...
There is an alternative version of the Lady Baltimore Cake and that is the Lord Baltimore Cake, which instead of white cake it is yellow cake and the filling is pecans and almonds with the addition of maraschino cherries and macaroon crumbs. And it is also frosted with white boiled icing. A good recipe for this cake can be found at: http://www.cakerecipe.com/AZ/LordBaltimo...
