Soup Can type tin of cake?

Do you remember a cake that came in a tin can?

While I was being raised the woman who gave birth to me would buy a cake that came in a tin can. We live in Ontario Canada and this would have been in the 70's or early 80's. I remember the cake had nuts in it and was a of darker cake, it was not chocolate. This cake is NOT fruit cake!!! The cake was a tin can like a can of soup. As I was so young I don't know if this was an imported food but I think since I can't find it probably was. Also this cake was available all year round. I remember the tin had a gold ring around the label and the label was a burgundy colour. Does anyone remember this cake? Does anyone know where I can buy it? Please provide links if possible so I can see if you are suggesting the correct product I am looking for and reward you with 10 points and thumbs up points. Thank you for all your help! Once we find the product it's cake for everyone... :o)

    There are some English type puddings that come in tins, which you could probably buy online.

    Most home made cakes were done in coffee cans, slightly bigger, and if you googled coffee can cake you could probably find some recipes.

    I remember Boston Brown Bread, I googled it and there are pictures...maybe that is what you are thinking of. It was really good, my mom used to make it.
