SPICE CAKE #2
Take of the sponge of bread just ready to stiffen 1 1/2 cup fills, 1 1/2 cupfuls of sugar, 1 1/2 cupfuls of flour, 1/2 cup of lard and butter, and 2 eggs. Put sugar, lard and eggs in sponge and add 2 teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, 1 teaspoonful of cloves and 1/2 nutmeg. Mix well and add 1 teaspoonful of soda, 1 cupful of raisins, 1 cupful of currants, and the flour last. This makes a large loaf and should be baked nearly an hour in a moderate oven. Try with a splint.
