Start with any ginger bread cake recipe. Add to the ginger bread recipe:

Nuts (as many as to taste)
Raisins (as many as to taste)
Apples (as many as to taste)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

After ginger bread is cool to touch, add these toppings, as much or as little as desired. Just as you would a frosting: 1) whipped cream (first); 2) fruit cocktail (drained); 3) coconut; 4) cherries.
