SIMNEL CAKE FOR THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION

9 oz butter
1 lb 8 oz sugar
1 lb 8 oz all-purpose flour
9 eggs
11-12 oz (depending on how it's packaged) peel of 
   candied orange and lemon
2 oz raisins

Combine in five-quart mixing bowl and mix.  
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, then 325F for 15 minutes.  
Wrap and cover until you finish the cake.

Makes TWO 9-inch cakes in half-filled pans. 
Cut off tops to produce two flat 1-inch layers. 
Finish in the traditional style.

That's all the recipe says...he must have the almond-paste 
finishing bit in his noggin.
