Yup, it's cholesterol heaven.

You start off with a sweet, rich bread dough, something like you'd use for cinnamon rolls.
You take that dough (dough only, no cinnamon and stuff) and roll it out fairly thinly, spread it thickly with lard (kinda like you were making puff pastry) and sprinkle it with golden raisins and roll it up into a loaf.
Spread the top with lard and a heavy sprinkling of sugar.
Bake it in a hot oven. Take it out a few times during cooking and baste the top with the melted lard in the pan.

I think I need to make some this weekend.
