Add 300 grams of unsalted butter to the pot and melt it down.

Add about 1.5 tablespoons of goose fat to the pot.

Add 500 grams of sugar to the pot and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and melt the fats together, which will take about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, add 400 grams of almond meal and a pinch of cinnamon.

Add 1 cup of sultanas and 1 cup of currants to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of almond essence to the bowl.

Zest a whole lemon into the bowl.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the melted butter mixture.

Gently mix the ingredients to avoid splashing, until combined.

Add 6 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs to the mixture and mix until glossy and well combined.

Pour the batter into a greased cake tin lined with baking paper.

Bake in the oven at 165 degrees Celsius for 35-45 minutes until solid in the center.

Dust the top of the cake with icing sugar once cooled.

Cut the cake with a serrated knife and serve with whipped cream and garnish with pistachio nuts.
