This cake is so delicious that it's now been adopted as our "everything cake". The wedding, birthdays, tea parties and just because cake. This is a small, reduced version of the cake that we're bringing to the wedding this weekend. I divided the original 1828 recipe by 6 to get the size cake that you see here today. This Thursday, however, I'm meeting up with Ron's sister to bake a great cake + 2 sheet pan cakes. It's then getting iced on Friday. This means that our wedding cake will be even BIGGER than the original because of the extra 2 sheet cakes. It will have 65 eggs, a gallon of milk, 32 sticks of butter, 4 pounds of sugar & 13 pounds of currants. Wedding or Christening Cake, Modern Domestic Cookery (1828). Recipe divided by 6 0.6 pounds of butter, softened 2 & 3/4 cup of flour 1 & 1/8 cups of sugar 1 pound of currants 2 medium sized lemon's worth of zest 1/4 cup of candied lemon peel 2.5 tablespoons of slivered almonds, or sliced almonds 2.5 tablespoons of candied citron 5 eggs, whisked well until frothy 1/3 cup of brandy 1/3 cup of milk 1 tablespoon of cinnamon 0.5 teaspoons of cloves Cream together the butter, sugar and spices till smooth. Add to it the whisked eggs, brandy, milk, citron, almonds, candied lemon peel and lemon zest. Mix up well till then add your flour 1 cup at a time. Pour into a well greased baking pan (or divide up into 2 cake pans or muffin tins). Bake at 300 degrees. If baking it in one large pan as I did it will take 1.5-2 hours. If baking in 2 cake pans it will take approximately 40 minutes. When done allow it to rest in the baking pan for at least 20 minutes before removing. *Wedding cakes used to be called bride's cakes (there were also groom's cakes!). This is one of the earlier mentions of a cake called an actual, "wedding cake."
If you coat the candied fruit in flour before adding them to the batter they’ll not sink to the bottom of your cake and they’ll be more throughout. Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊
0:35 Happy Almost Wedding Day! I'm flying into St. Louis tomorrow (Thursday) & can't wait for the big day!! I bought my colonial attire in Williamsburg, where I saw George Washington riding down the Duke of Gloucester street!
It looks delicious! Helpful hint: if you toss the fruit with a little flour before adding it to the batter, it will stay more evenly dispersed and won't sink to the bottom. I was thinking of you today, as I saw there was a tornado warning in St. Genevieve. I hope you are safe and any storms do not interfere with your wedding. Much love to you and Ron.
I've been keeping an eye on the weather also because I'm in ohio. Big storms coming through. Let's pray all will be gone and clear sky's by the weeks end.
I made a similar cake for my wedding. It was a king cake that was served from Epiphany to Mardi Gras. Have a beautiful wedding and many harmonious decades together.
Your final days using this oven. Exciting! As you unite in marriage may you create a bond that is unbreakable, and may that bond bring you solace. serenity, and unwavering faith. Congratulations!
Congratulations Ron and Justine! And thank you for bringing simpler times to all of us. Basics of life and love that are so grounding. Happiness, good wishes to you both; enjoy this special time. Thank you for allowing us to share in it!❤❤
I can't believe how close we are to the big day! Like everybody else here, I'm so excited for you both! 😊 And this cake looks absolutely AMAZING! My goodness! 😋
I am not big on “hidden treasures” in my cake but this looks really good. I would definitely make it if my husband was not on keto. Cannot wait to see the wedding pics. Good luck and congratulations. God bless and prayers over your new life together.
Wishing you all the very best for your wedding. I hope that the weather will be kind. Gods blessings and every happiness for a long life together. Greetings from England xxxx❤
I can't believe it was 3 years ago since I've been watching your channel and omilord, how it has grown in size. I'm so thankful that you guys are still providing excellent-quality content, introducing us to your friends (and friends' channels). To know that in 2 days, y'all are going to have the wedding bash is just surreal and wonderful. Congratulations again and may God bless your union.
I love your channel.....I am old now but lived in a home that was built in 1781when i was a boy. Did my mile swim in the the James river as a BOY Scout in 69.
I've been following you two for a very long time and I'm so excited to see such wonderful people start your married lives together!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your journey. Congratulations!! Wish I could be there. If you ever visit colonial Williamsburg or Jamestown let me know. i live 45 mins away and ill come with you guys!!!
This looks as beautiful as I'm sure it tastes! The big day is closer. RON AND JUSTINE, congratulations and I'm wishing you both all the best life has to offer. God Bless You Both.
Happy almost wedding day Ron and Justine. I wish you both nothing but happy and healthy lives together. I hope you enjoy your day and take the time to remember the little things, like the look you'll give each other seeing the other in your wedding attire. Wishing you many Blessings
I can feel the love and happiness through the cake you make, it is a symbol of happiness filled with love, it would be wonderful to enjoy it when it first comes out of the oven, I wish you, your family. Families and people in this world are always happy and have warm, sweet love. Thank you very much !
The work you put into these videos, the environment, the filming, editing, is all top tier. Idk if you film and edit these videos but whoever does is amazing at what they do
Well, now I’m going to have to figure out where to get candied citron. Love Alfred at the end - thank you for bringing joy into a dark world! Happy wedding blessings to you!
So sweet how you smile when you lay down cake on table...pleased with the outcome. Looks SO good, moist...can almost smell and taste it! The roses!...lovely touch.
So excited for the upcoming wedding! I've watched you all from the very beginning, and it has been such a pleasure watching you fall in love! Congratulations, and best wishes for the years ahead! ❤
Prayers for a wonderful wedding day! May all be blessed with great weather and lots of love and happy memories of your day. Congratulations to you both!!
Justine wishing you and Ron, all the blessings that life together, as husband and wife can bring. Have a wonderful Wedding Day and enjoy every moment 💕
Absolutely fascinating! Your journey into the past to recreate a wedding cake from 1828 is truly remarkable. By delving into historical cooking and sharing it through ASMR, you provide a unique and immersive experience for your audience. Your attention to detail and dedication to authenticity are commendable, bringing to life a piece of culinary history in a captivating way. This endeavor not only showcases your culinary skills but also educates and entertains viewers about traditional cooking methods and historical contexts. Congratulations on such a meaningful and enriching culinary adventure! And I am Floating Village Life
hi justine. thx for sending me american candies in return! im japanese and we live far away each other but im rly happy u guys getting married. im proud of that i am watching not just u making histrical dishes but also ur LIFE. i respect u who do not losing luv to others and get satisfied with what u have in this too developed world. pls take some time for urself justine.
What a wonderful surprise!! I was sure you would be up to your eyeballs in preparations and we wouldn't see anything for a while. The cake looks amazing!
I thought of your wedding when Ryan Hall was trying to pronounce St Genevieve..hope the storms pass by you and you have a wonderful day..many blessings..Becca M
Congratulations on becoming a Newlywed! I have just watch a handful of your videos, and your recipes are amazing! I also loved the whisk and you make it look SO easy and fun to watch!
What a beautiful cake! I hope your wedding day was a grand and lovely event. I prayed for good weather! I'm sure you were a beautiful bride! Hope you will share some wedding pictures with us!
This is it … one day after your wedding… I bet it was beautiful… I did think about both of you yesterday… I wish you both nothing but happiness together
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday. Miss your cooking sessions and the chats afterwards, but really happy for you that you are taking a break just for yourselves.
I’m so excited for you both. I pray that everything turns out the way you’ve been wanting it, may all your dreams come true on your wedding day. Oh, the wedding cake looks delicious.
I can't believe your wedding is tomorrow it just seems like yesterday you first started dating. I feel blessed to have been a part of this UA-cam channel. You both are such wonderful people. Justine and Ron I wish you all the happiness in the world. Enjoy every moment tomorrow as it sure goes by quick. Sending love and best wishes always 👰🤵💒💕
Congratulations to both of you! This is going to be a wonderful weekend and I'm so happy you are going to have it so well documented because often that is the problem...I know there are things I don't remember about my own wedding because everything is such a rush and suddenly....you're on the other side. This year will be 41 for me. I wish that and more for you ❤
Congrats and best wishes from your neighbor across the border in KC. Thanks for keeping the history alive in Missouri's first settlement. Show me state is lucky to have you two.
