This is the Madeira cake, a British cake dating back to the 17-or-1800s, and named after a wine from the Madeira islands which it was traditionally served with.

Per wiki:
The cake has a firm yet light texture. It is eaten with tea or (occasionally) for breakfast and is traditionally flavoured with lemon.[7] Nowadays, the English Madeira cake is often served with tea or liqueurs.[8] Dating back to an original recipe in the 18th or 19th century,[1][8] Madeira cake is similar to a pound cake or yellow cake.[9][10]

Not to be confused with the Bolo de Mel, a spice cake from the Madeira Islands dating back to the 1400s, traditionally made with molasses, but later made with honey.

From the elite circles of the early post-revolution era US comes the variety of Great Cake associated with Martha Washington, but cooked by her slaves. This was a dense, spiced fruit cake. An olden transcription of the recipe included: "a peck of flour, three quarters of a pound of sugar, three pounds of melted butter, and seven pounds of currants. Added to these ingredients were four grated nutmegs, cloves, cinnamon, mace, caraway seeds, water, and salt. Other ingredients included yeast derived from barm (the foam that rises to the top of fermented liquor), and liquid derived from posset, a warm mixture of ale and cream."

And later varieties have included Madeira wine and brandy as ingredients. I can't say it doesn't look tasty!

The Chinese Mooncake, traditionally eaten around the Mid-Autumn Festival, is probably one of the most famous of eastern Asian sweet baked goods. Per Wiki, "a traditional Cantonese mooncake is a round pastry, measuring about 10 cm (4 in) in diameter and 3–4 cm (1+1⁄4–1+1⁄2 in) thick, with a rich, thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste (other typical fillings include red bean paste or mixed nuts) surrounded by a thin, 2–3 mm (approximately 1/8 of an inch) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs." These come in multiple varieties, and they look delicious!

These things are so fucking dense, they're basically lembas bread from lotr. If you get one around Chinese New Year, resist the urge to shove the whole thing into your fat American mouth. Cut it up and share it.
