On page 606 of the June 1972 Printing of the Joy of Cooking there is a recipe for

"...cake cockaigne", with reference to a New York Times Food editor.

The cake when made with very ripe plums was certainly a very "luxurious" tasting one, and I can see the connection. However the usage was not that of a noun of the country as in the definition given. Also - what would the proper pronunciation and stress placement be? Peter, Mara, BC

It is pronounced similarly to cocaine, except with cock instead of coke. —Stephen (Talk) 05:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
