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 😊

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 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.

That's right! Happy almost birthday! May you have many more.

As much as I like TV, it is kind of nice to hear cooking without a TV on, and just the sounds of nature.

You must be counting the sleeps until the big day! Congratulations Justine - a beautiful cake for a beautiful bride!

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!

Wishing you and Ron a very happy wedding day!!! It looks like the weather is going to be beautiful! Enjoy your special day and your honeymoon!💕

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.

Congratulations on your wedding!!! I’m watching this video on Friday and I hope and pray your wedding day is full of love!!!

I love your cooking videos. You are teaching how to survive when grid goes down. Blessing to you n Ron

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

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.

Congratulations! How completely wonderful! Can’t wait to see photos or videos!

So looking forward to pictures….Enjoy your special day! Congratulations to you both!!!!

And Happy Wedding Day!❤ thanks for these great videos

Beautiful cake, Mrs Rayfield!

I love this channel.. I'm trying to live in a vintage style little by little, and this channel has helped me a lot.. gratitude ❤❤

Oh, I can practically smell that cake from here! I'm definitely going to try it!🍰 And I'm SOOOO excited for you both!! I pray everything goes smoothly and you enjoy your special day. As an "old married lady" I can tell you that in the end, most of the details of the day that can seem so important beforehand just fade away afterwards, so don't stress too much. (Like our cake being the wrong colour, the zip on my gown breaking and Mum literally having to sew me into it, forgetting to wear my going-away corsage, rain bucketing down the entire day!😂) The truly important thing is the love that you and Ron share and the holy commitment that you are making together. I'll be praying for you both on Saturday and look forward to hearing about it later. Have a wonderful time! 💐👰‍♀🤵‍♂

So excited for you both. Happy wedding day! Can’t wait for pictures. 😊

So excited ❤🎉❤I'm definitely going to try this cake! Ty both so much...Wishing you an abundance of happiness and blessings 🙌

With tornado warnings being so frequent this spring, I hope you and Ron have a nice deep root cellar/tornado shelter with a steel door! The cake looks delicious. Congratulations on your marriage!

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 KZread 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 👰🤵💒💕

So fun! Your actual wedding cake was beautiful. It has been fun watching you guys right from the beginning. I wish you both the best! 💜

What a wonderful surprise. I was missing you guys. Blessings and best wishes on your wedding.

I'm so excited and very happy for the both.of You❤
