My grandmother was born on 1894 and she could have made this cake. She was a hard-shell baptist so never used wine or alcohol or so we thought. I will definitely try this. What fun to cook from these old cookbooks! Thanks for entertaining us. I cook like my mama and grand mama.
"or so we thought,"...that was pretty funny 😇
“Or so we thought”…😂
For reference- Those old fashioned wine glasses weren't much bigger than a shot glass or two. I don't think they meant like wine glass we use today. And a glass of wine is usually about half full. You can also get rose water at any middle eastern market.
Oh yes, PLEASE cook some more of those old recipes!! That cake looks wonderful!!
Your cake was beautiful and so yummy looking. I would love if you cooked more recipes from that cookbook. I think it would be fascinating.
Love sour cream with lemon drizzle. Good job , yours looks heavenly😇💖😇
I made it today and I did it on a dare. I always thought my recipe was the best. Hands down, this is the best I have ever made in my seventy years. I didn't hear oven temp so I baked it at 350 for about seventy minutes. It was a bit more effort but I'm sold forever. Hope to find the cookbook too. Left out the booze and nutmeg and the texture is perfect. It is seven and halve inches tall. Fabulous. So happy I found this site!
G;ad you liked it
Just the looks of that are prize winning! I would definitely swap out the nutmeg with maybe cinnamon and a touch of ginger. My grandmother who could make her way around the kitchen with her eyes closed used to make things like that. Your cooking reminds me so much more of her cooking than even my mom's and my mom was a wonderful cook also.
me, too!
Steve, grated nutmeg tastes so different than ground nutmeg. I love both though.
You are such a pro i loved watching you fold in thise egg whites. It was so great learning about this historical recipe. I love your version I really want to make this! Thank you and I would love to see more recipes from the cookbook
I love pound cake. My Granny made the best but I don't have her recipe. I may just have to give this one a try. Yes please, more recipes from that cookbook! Love ya!
Tammy I really love the old fashioned recipe pound cake. When I was a kid growing up my mom and grandparents would make the old fashioned pancakes and it is yumptious good. Can you please do more old-fashioned recipes have a blessed day and I enjoy watching you always.
Any Middle Eastern or Indian Grocer will always carry rose water. I love the flavor of rose water. I have to have it for cakes, rice, and puddings. The alcohol cooks off with the heat of the oven.
Kudos to you Patricia for the alcohol fact! IT COOKS OFF! I don't drink alcohol, but I sure as heck DO cook with it! You are SO right.... If they're saying they don't cook with it because they hate the flavor.. or perhaps they're allergic to it.. I can understand steering clear of it and looking for substitutes. But for anyone steering clear simply because it's "alcohol" ...guess what?... Pure Vanilla is 35% alcohol which is IDENTICAL to Captain Morgan's Rum.
The cake had 8 oz of alcohol. That amout will not cook off. A reasonable amount does.
What do you think about a glass of rose water? Wouldn't that be a lot?
Looks like King Arthur makes a 2oz bottle of cooking rose water as well. (Sugar) Cane alcohol is used in it. A food historian somewhere has to have commented on what the late Victorians recipe was. One cup just sounds unpalatable!
@@christina3521 I love King Arthur's stuff!! They sell a type of malt powder that gives bagels a unique (yummy) flavor, but they say it's also great to add just a touch to homemade pizza dough. NUM! 😋
Oh Tammy this cake looks amazing, so Beautiful, I bet it will be even better when it's cold. Thank you for taking us back to 1887 God Bless you and Chris...
I just love that mixer. I want one for Christmas 🎄
Me too, wonder where she got it
I so enjoyed this video. I really liked seeing and hearing about this recipe. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless y'all.
I made non alcoholic rosewater with distilled water and rose petals in large stock pot with an upside down bowl as a pedestal, a ramekin to catch the drips. Turn the lid upside down so the condensation runs to the middle. Turn on low to med and place ice in the upside down lid to create the condensation. The ramekin will gather the condensation.
Your version sounds delicious. Going to try it when I get some Rose wine . Would love for you to cook some more from this cook book . Loved your video ❤️
Oh girl!!! This one looks so delicious! ❤
This absolutely looks delicious Tammy. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m gonna have to bake it!! I hope you and Chris enjoy and y’all have a blessed week!! 🙏❤️✝️🤗🥰💗
That was a treat to watch! Pound cake has always been a favorite of mine. One of my grandmothers used to make a sour cream pound cake that would melt in your mouth. I, too, would be very interested to see more recipes from this historical cookbook. Thanks Tammy and Chris!
I like your mixer.
Oh wow my favorite I slice it put strawberries and whip cream on top and I'm in heaven love the nutmeg and rose, love your videos and recipes ❤❤
My Grand Mother was born in 1887 January of that year...God Bless her soul, she was a wonderful cook, and I loved her so much. She did it all, I'll never forget her....what a woman she was....
Rose water is easy to find. All middle eastern stores carry it. Nice recipe❤❤😊😊
That's definitely a once a year treat. It looks beautiful Tammy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. 🙂❤️
Thank you for sharing a good ol'recipe from history. My husband loves history and finds this interesting and would have a piece with french vanilla ice cream.😊
Thank you for sharing some yummy history recipes 🥰🇺🇸
Tammy, this looks delicious. I love your beautiful Christmas apron! It suits you so well!! 💚 That Bosch mixer is so enticing!
And I LOVE that gingerbread man that is up above her stove. I love gingerbread men.. they're so CUTE!!! 🤗
My husband LOVES pound cake so I’ll have to bake this one!! Yours looks wonderful!!
Could you please cook more old fashioned recipes from that time we lost that art. And it needs to be kept and demonstrated by you and your wonderful husband. Love you guys
Tip about nutmeg the seed inside is the nutmeg the outside of the nutmeg is called mace. So buy some mace at the super market in the seasoning section most markets do carry it.
This 1887 White House Pound Cake recipe looks so delicious 😋 Ms. Tammy.
Great looking cake Tammy!
Loving that mixer ❤
amzn.to/3Vz41w6
Agreed, I have never seen anything like it.
Not available it says 🙁. Thank you for letting me know❤️
I meant letting me know where to find it.
Hi Chris and Tammy 👋 your #cake looks scrumptious 😋 yes I would love to see more old recipes!!!🤗❤️❤️
Yesss!! A pound, a pound, a pound. Great recipe. In culinary school we were taught that the average egg is 2 oz. So typically we would use 8 eggs I can just imagine how rich this cake is!!
Please make more recipes from your old fashioned cookbook. I thank you so much for sharing this one.
The cake looks awesome! But I must question if you replaced the volume of liquid with anything when you reduced the amount of rose water and the wine? It seems you would need to replace the volume with something and I was just wondering what you used.
Thank you! This looks like a WONDERFUL cake!
I was wondering that, too, if not putting the called-for amount of liquid from the wine and rose water had an adverse effect on the cake. Tammy did mention that the batter was thicket than normal.
EVERYTHING YOU COOK LOOKS GOOD MS TAMMY
Looks like a cross between a pound cake and an angel food cake.
Looks very good. Yes please make some more from the cook book
Hi guys just catching up and all your videos you're doing a lot of baking for us I enjoy watching them I sit here and salivate. That machine that you have is so cool. I love pound cake ❤😍👍☕
I’m going to make this cake and I’m going to put some rum in it! Yummy❤️❤️❤️👍🏼🥰
Great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That sure does look delicious.
I love pound cake with fruit and vanilla ice cream. I love nutmeg. So flavouring the batter with freshly ground nutmeg, a "dash" of wine and vanilla makes me really want to try this one. I agree with your assessment of the first version. Given our ability to store/refrigerate today, negates the necessity for as much alcohol as was previously used. I'm not a big fan of alcohol in my chocolate and/or dessert. I'm more of "on the side" kinda girl. haha. Thanks Tammy and Chris! Very inspirational. :)
I love freshly ground nutmeg and always grate a little bit into my veggies when stir-frying them...enhances the natural flavor of the veggie, just a little bit, 'tho, 4-5 swipes over the grater. I don't know if a grater still comes with a spice jar of whole nutmegs, but I have my grandma's original jar, which came with its own little grater, enclosed in the jar with the whole nutmegs...I treasure this 🥰 little kitchen tool! It's actually very old, like me!
@@brendafoster4712 I add freshly ground nutmeg to sautéing mushrooms. Just a 'pinch'. :)
@@janeydoe1403 Freshly grated nutmeg is soooooooo good! The only time I use ground nutmeg is in baking.
Really beautiful cake.
Tammy, your old fashioned pound cake look good👍🏾🙏🏽.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Chris asks good questions too. That cake was screaming for strawberries and whipped cream!! 😋
Your cake looks so scrumptious, I love the crunchy edges on the top. Like a cake and cookie at once lol
This is my first time watching your video and I love watching from Philadelphia
Hope your both having a beautiful day and evening!
Yummy yummy all your cakes turn out amazing ❤
Thank you so very much for sharing. I feel very blessed and meant to find you both on CZcams. I can not wait to try this for Christmas. Blessed Be
That cake looks Absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!!! God Bless!!!
It looks wonderful.
My mother had a copy of that book! I remember copying many recipes out of it. Are you aware of the fanny farmer book? Its supposed to be THE first written out cook book for people! Its also great reading for the history of cooking. 🤗. It instructs the women on the use of "piggin strings" to tie your long skirts more liike mens pants so that you didnt catch your skirts on fire while cooking, and burn to death! Fun facts! Lol. Has some simple but yummy recipes in it.😊
I've used my fingers/hand to separate for 50 years, easy peasy. I will use milk instead of all that wine/rose water and just vanilla. Back in the day those "glasses" may have been more like shot glasses or cordial glasses so your Tbls are probably right. Thanks!
This would be great for this holiday...minus the wine and rose water! Thank you for sharing!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
🙏🏼♥️🕯🏛☃️
Looks amazing Tammy😋
I'll try for sure
Hey, Tammy 🎄❤️🎄. What a beautiful pound cake!!! I have never had rose water??? I think that’s a mighty expensive cake right now 😂😂 but it sure does sound scrumptious ❤
Looks very good to try.
That’s a beautiful cake. I love hot cake with coffee with pumpkin spice creamer. Yummy! 🥮
It looks very delicious and not at all like the pound cakes of today. The denseness is what makes it a real old fashioned poundcake. I'd love to try this one!
Looks good Tammy!
I would love to see more videos from this cookbook!
Your apron is so cute Tammy!
I made your pumpkin cheesecake and messed it up 😊. I left it in the oven and didn’t leave the door cracked open. I’m going to try it again. Oh and I’m going to make your spice cake for the second time this week, this time with cake flour. Yum!
Love this
My word! This is a massive pound cake!
Old fashioned Pound cake recipe is easy to remember.
Yummy
Love pound cake!
Cake looks so moist and buttery, yum
Thanks you
Thank you for this recipe! Gos Bless you two!
That looks delicious!👍😍🤩☃️
....It REALLY does!!!! 1887 !?! Wow! I just asked Siri who the president of the United States was in 1887, Siri said "Grover Cleveland" 😆 That cake looks YUMMY!
I just love you Tammy and Steve. This looks really good. You can find Rose Water at Middle Eastern/Indian stores. I'm going to put a bit of Rose Water in a light icing and see how it tastes. I would love to see more recipes like this. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
Who is Steve??
It would be nice if you would cook more from the old cookbook.
Really enjoyed the pound cake recipe video Thank you.
I love and collect antique recipes. It's like tasting a part of history! This recipe sounds amazing. Have to give it a try. Unlike pound cakes of today made with oil making them heavy. This cake looks light and fluffy. Even though the alcohol cooks away, I wonder if instead of rose alcohol, you could use rose tea. Thank you for sharing. Two thumbs up, fav'd and subscribed.
That looks delicious, I probably would not have liked the one with all the rose water in it, that stuff is strong, I use it to make home made marzipan. I love old cookbooks and try at least one thing out of them, I am a collector and have several dating back to the early 1800's, the stuff they had to do back then and people complain today. If you make that again try cognac in it, I add 3 tablespoons plus vanilla extract to one I make and it adds a really nice flavor.
Wow! Yummy! And you make it look so easy. May I ask what brand your mixer is? All I have is a hand held mixer but your mixer looks amazing.
amzn.to/3UB2S5L
@@CollardValleyCooks Thank you!!
I would use Almond Extract instead 🤗
That is a lot of nutmeg. Not sure if I would change it, except maybe try fresh berries on top. I'd love you to try old recipes.
It looks very nice. My grandma use to make the best lemon pound cake. One thing I wanna know is where you found the fountain of youth? You look beautiful. I would like to know the kinds of things you use for your beauty regimen. I just wanted you to know that. Thank you for all the work you do to show us how to cook. Love ya kiddo.
Holy Smokes...a pound of butter! Heart attack on a plate, but I'll bet it's really really really tasty! Couldn't make it too often!
butter doesn't cause heart attacks, sugar and processed foods do besides you are not eating the whole cake
Looks real yummy Mrs Tammy thanks for sharing this recipe👌🏾❤
Thanks for sharing and the interesting information in the description 👍
Nice.
good evening Tammy it's Patricia me and my friend just talked to your brother Eddie
Cake looks delicious.
I love pound cake yummy. Love ♥️ Joanne Resh
Tammy, with all that batter, you could put it in 3 loaf pans and have three pound cakes to give as gifts. Nothing beats a good moist pound cake.
No wonder I loved my Grandmother’s pound cake ❤😂
Whole nutmeg simply refers to the form of nutmeg, so I don't think they meant to use it all, just to taste. That's the problem with old recipes--they weren't very clear with the amounts, like the size of a glass! (I have a lot of old recipes with a number sized can and I have no idea what that is.) It sounds really good, but it would be a luxury to make with the price of butter and eggs today. Btw it's Rose' (rose-A) wine.
No, the nutmeg is not as strong as ground nutmeg so it is not overpowering at all. I have never bought a bottle of wine until this recipe so that is how much I know about wine.
I remember the #-sized cans...is that not used anymore? I'm guessing no...probably go by ounces in the can, now.
Jane, this was literally the 2nd bottle of wine that I have purchased. I did notice many had rose aromatics in them. Here is the specs of this specific one: This Wine Information: Rose, Rhone Valley, France - Pure rose with flavors of cherry, bitter orange, and rose petal. Really freshness, has more fruit than a typical Provencal wine, with red fruit notes on the palate. BRAND Chapoutier COUNTRY / STATE France
@@brendafoster4712 I don't think they do because they keep reducing the size of products. That drives me nuts!
@@CollardValleyCooks I'm no expert on wine either. The only wine I've used in a cake is Blackberry Wine Cake. It's really good because it's made with Jewish sweet wine and blackberry Jell-O. It doesn't have a boozy smell or taste.
Thank you for this video and have a great day!!!
WELCOME BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGERRR 🔥
A really interesting Recipe, Thank you Tammy for sharing!
Looks so yummy. 🤤
I wonder if they knew that nutmeg can make you hallucinate if you eat too much. Or that it affects dogs the way cocaine affects humans.
That being said, I love all kinds of flavored pound cake.
Chocolate, sour cream, cream cheese, whipping cream, lemon or coconut, I can't decide a favorite.
They're always at our pot lucks.
Looks delicious,
Thanks folks.
Wonderful recipe!! 😀😀
