"Hevva cake, often called heavy cake, isn't heavy at all. It isn't a scone or a shortbread but it is both scone & shortbread adjacent. One constant about the cake is the diagonal scoring on top that symbolizes the fisherman's net."
1 - It's really good. I used whatever dried fruit I had hanging around, which was candied ginger (not a fruit...), candied pineapple, dried apricots, dried currants, and it's really good! I only used 1 tsp of Poudre Douce, and I will up that to 2tsps. It had a bit of a doughy flavour for me, so in addition to adding more spice, I will also add to let bake until it starts to brown. Oh, and I didn't sprinkle it with sugar and it was still delicious.
