Orange Raisin Cake image

Prepared in by colonal housewives who used a salamander (a long-handled iron plate that was heated in the fire and held over pastry to brown it) to melt the cake's glaze. I've made this any number of times (w/o the salamander) because it is delicious and unusual! From the BH&G Heritage Cookbook
