Are the 5 layers 8 or 9 inch?

This recipe seems very similar to what I have heard referred to as a “Japanese Fruit Cake”. If memory serves the difference is there are two layers of the spice/fruit and two layers of yellow cake. Same cooked filling/icing.

It's no wonder the southern ladies of my childhood set so much store by their Japanese Fruitcakes; generally made for Christmas. That is a huge production when you stop to think about the grated fruit rinds and the chopped nuts and other fruits that have to be prepared.

recipe says orange rind...

Does it really mean to say "orange zest?"

Same thing

In old cookbooks its often listed as rind. It means zest.
