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 😊

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'm so thankful that you guys are still providing excellent-quality content, introducing us to your friends (and friends' channels).

Thanks for posting a video of that delicious cake. Best wishes to the both of you on your upcoming wedding.

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

Now _that's_ a wedding cake! I don't know why, but every wedding I ever attended had those squishy cakes with soggy jam between the layers - and the frosting tasted like Crisco with a little sugar. I always preferred a denser cake filled with fruit and nuts. Bring back the early 19th century bride's and groom's cakes! Said a prayer for you and Ron while washing dishes a few minutes ago. Hope everything will go well!

Your cake is fabulous! Best wishes to you both for a lifetime of joy and blessings!

Many blessing on you both for a wonderful wedding and happy life!

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

Congratulations, many well wishes to you both for your future happiness and blessings.

Can’t wait to hear about the wedding and see pictures!

Looks delicious. I am so thrilled Justine and cannot wait to see/hear about Saturday. God bless you and Ron on a long, happy, healthy marriage! xoxo

❤Bright Blessings for your wedding day! May your life together be one of peace, prosperity and love! So happy for you both!❤❤

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.

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

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!

Your videos bring me peace. Send joy to your Union.❤️
