- I'm getting married on May 11th, 1828. That's this Saturday! Allow me to practice baking the cake, which hails from a recipe published in 1828. It's delicious! This one is a winner and you should try to make it at home. Currants, lemon, brandy, citron and almonds make this cake bright and merry.

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."
Many blessings on the special day. Be sure to enjoy and take it all in. 🥰💕
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 😊
Thank you for the recipe we were wondering why there was no text telling us what things were while you were adding them
You must be very excited for the big day soon
Looks lovely! Congratulations on your special day!
Can’t wait for Wedding pictures
Yes!😀

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!
Thank you Kerri! I am glad that you are flying in tomorrow and not today because there is quite the storm going on right now. Safe travels.
Very bad storms also in MICHIGAN also!
@@robinwallbaum7910 Stay safe.
Im from southwest Michigan 😊@@robinwallbaum7910

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.
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.
Lol... I should have read more comments!! 😂❤
Weirdly enough most of the fruit floated to the top not the bottom 😅
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the weather report! ❤
Woo
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! 😋
Have a wonderful wedding weekend, wish I could be there!! ❤
The wedding is so close! Congratulations!
❤ fabulous cake!! The wedding is almost here!!!🎉🎉🎉
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!
Thank you! We will still continue to film at the cabin until fall
What are u 90 yo?
Two hearts beating as one?
Have a wonderful wedding, Justine & Ron! Much love from Germany 💕
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.
I am so happy for you guys. And thank you bringing us along on this journey it’s was lovely to witness.
