  • 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."

      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.

    Do you think our ancestors would have been disappointed by our modern wedding cakes? After all, they're basically flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. For this cake, the baker pulls out all the stops and includes many fine, expensive ingredients. They probably didn't get to enjoy these things often and wanted to add all the best to make it a real treat!
