The cake dates back to 1872 when the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We combine gold cake, devil’s food cake and almond cake all mixed with raspberry jelly, rum flavor and a hint of anise, topped with homemade butter cream icing. Very rich and moist, this is sure to please the palate."- From Haydel's Bakery, but you can get it other places too. It sounds terrible, but is actually wonderful. I HATE anis, but it works in this cake.
