Beat the butter, lard, and sugar to a cream ; mix in the flour ; then add currants, peel, almonds, and soda. Beat these well together, and then add the eggs, well beaten ; put the mixture into a well-greased baking tin. Put into a fairly hot oven, but do not increase the heat after it has been put in — rather let it decrease. It will take about 4 hours’ gentle cooking. It is better to make this cake a month or six weeks before, it is required.
