- Pound cakes originated in the early 18th century, getting their name from the fact that originally they contained a pound of flour, a pound of sugar, eggs & butter. That's one heavy cake! Let's try them out and see if they're any good.

I recomend that you try these at home! ^_^ You will either love or hate them but either way this is a fantastic way to experience how baked goods have evolved over the centuries. Please watch till the end to see an image of the original recipe (or reciepts as they used to be called). Below you will find a recipe translated from the original with more modern directions. I hope that this helps and thank you for being here today! When you are done here head on over to our 2nd channel Frontier Patriot to watch us eat and review these pound cakes.
Pound Cakes, 1796
2 cups of sugar
1 pound of butter
3 and 1/3 cups of flour
0.5 cups of rose water
9 eggs
Spices to your taste (caraway seeds or cinnamon + nutmeg are period correct options)
Directions: Cream together the butter, sugar and rose water in a large bowl. In a separate bowl whisk up 9 whole eggs until they are pillowy, thick and foamy. This can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes of vigorous whisking. Once done pour these eggs into your butter mixture. Now slowly add in your flour a little bit at a time while carefully folding so as to not disturb the egg bubbles too much. Bake on paper or in a mold as thin as possible as they should be like cookies. If cooking in a mold please put a sheet beneath them in your oven as the butter is likely to bubble over. Do not grease the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Gracias muchas gracias.
How many cakes / cookies can we get out of this receipt, and can we bake them in muffin pans?
Thank you for this recipe.
💖
@@lesterstone8595 it makes 1 loaf pan and you can use muffin tins.
I love how Ron mysteriously appears just a the cakes are ready to be eaten. 😂 😋🤤
He added the flour ***geesh***
😅😅
Wait a minute! There's a pound of sugar, a pound of butter, a pound of eggs and a pound of flour. Doesn't that make it a FOUR pound cake?? 🤔 Love your videos!!
A pound of everything is a pound cake😂
😂😂😂😂
Seems more like shortbread cookies than anything, except for the addition of eggs.
It's a pound cake because it uses a pound of each ingredient. It's one of the first things I ever learned how to bake because it's almost foolproof.
@@feverspell Yeah, I get it. I was making a funny.
2:15 Beautiful. Your expressions are so funny. Love that whisk! This portion is great to listen to to fall asleep to (it’s not boring, just relaxing!), and I like the Chew N Chat afterwards. 😊 I like to see you and Ron just being at home with Mish Mish, and talking just like we were around the table with you. ❤
I wish I lived closer to where you are. I would love to meet you both and go to your events. I live in Oregon, a little too far away. Thanks for sharing videos, I so love watching them. I’m looking forward to watching your journey through life together. I feel like I’m a part of it. ❤
Wow this was the most revolutionary recipe I've come across in your vlog. I never knew the origins of the pound cake or that it was originally in cookie form. And that whisking of the eggs!!!! First , had no idea you could whisk whole eggs to that consistency and certainly not with a stick whisk.....epic❤.
Here I learn something plus so entertaining. Justine your facial expressions are the best your're very funny. Glad to see you got an assistant 😁
I already baked the pound cakes since you made them in another video alongside with a honeycake and some other kind of cookies. BTW The honeycake was something I made, too and it was gorgeous. Here in Germany we have honeycakes in the stores but they are far too sweet. This was balanced well. To the cookies: I tried them and they turned into one big cookie while baking.
I should have put the dough in the fridge for a while before baking. Or better I should have baked them in a Muffinbackingtray. Otherwise they were amazing. At the beginning I was sceptical towards the carawayseeds because I only use them as a seasoning for peeled potatoes. But the cookies turned out so good. I love to discover new things to eat. Most historical dishes seem fancy nowadays. People were eager to try new things and to experiment.
Pro tip:
Add some bitteralmondoil. The combination of carawayseeds and almondoil is amazing. I have a different poundcake recipe in the book "Dinner with Mr. Darcy" by Pen Vogler. She uses a recipe from Martha Lloyd and the cookies are baked as a cake.
Apparently the cake was also called "sponge cake" by Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra.
Ohhhh those look SO good! I can just imagine having some withna cup of hot tea. YUM!
You guys are almost at 1 million!! We’re all rooting you on and praying for you! So glad to be able to find a channel that’s wholesome, funny, educational, and where you feel like family! God bless with your future endeavors! 👍🙏👏👏.
Justine puts her all into her work. And the assistant looks good in his red vest. My favorite on him. Great video as always ❤
These pound cakes were interesting. I loved watching Justine bake them. Thankyou Ron and Justine ❤❤
I love watching you cook! Learning to cook over an open hearth is amazing. Keep history alive & pass it on.
I love your videos so much! Thank you for doing these as ASMR videos, I really need ASMR to calm my anxiety after a long day.
What a fulfilling and healthy life one could live out there🌄
always so calming to watch, and I learn cooking and baking things in the process
I truly appreciate all the time and research that must go into making these videos!! I am a history guru and I love to bake so I adore this channel so much! Keep up the great work😊
Thank you for the video & all your hard work Justine & Ron! God bless you!
I love all your recipes! Watched almost all of your videos. You botb are amazing and make the most authentic recipes. Got to start trying them :) ❤
I can’t even imagine how long it took to get the eggs that creamy texture. They looked so yummy when you were done . Another recipe I need to try. Although I’ll probably substitute the rose water. Nothing beats the way you bring history to life 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It took half an hour of nonstop hard whisking o_o
@@EarlyAmerican omg your arm must’ve hurt. Thank you for doing that for all of us 😊
I’ve never beaten eggs long enough to get them that thick. I didn’t know they would even get that thick!
@@EarlyAmerican Would a mixer or immersion blender work?
They looks great and delicious. Thank you for the recipe, Justine.
You are an absolute gem. I've been having a tough year but these videos help me greatly. Thank you tremendously ❤❤❤
(Sorry for being a bitter betty haha)
This looks really yummy and would be great for Christmas. Love your channel.
I don't know what you would have done without your helper! He really saved the day.
Love to watch you cook......your face shows so many funny looks! I like to watch your channel first then go to Ron's to see y'all's funny stuff❤
They looked great, and Ron looked like he enjoyed them as well!
Great video! whipping eggs made me realize how lucky I am to live during the era of electricity and a Kitchen Aid mixer. (5-10 minutes whipping with a KitchenAid and whisk attachment). I appreciate all the hard work and people involved that goes into making this video. Thank you!
Wow nice to experience some good American History on how yous would have baked, and lived dressed so interesting ❤
Thankyou for sharing
watching this watching from Scotland 🏴
Nice to watch but I think I would rather have cinnamon. Love to watch your baking techniques. Curious about the taste testing on Frontier Patriot. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
I love these videos so much I just wish that they lasted longer! :)
You two are an amazing couple
Love your videos so much!
So Cozy! You and Ron are adorable together too ❤
Im moroccan and i live in France, im fun of you ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video...Glad you had an assistant today to help you out! Keep up the good work.
Whipping face is adorable 😊 thank you for a wonderful video!
your “making chocolate ice cream in 1830’s” video randomly came up on my feed and it was so cool to watch🤣so educational too, i subed right after the video was over🥱
Truly appreciate channels like this that make a very creative approach to a genre
You are an amazing cook Justine. I Love watching your videos. 🍰🍰🍰
They look yummy! I can see Ron is a big fan! 😀
I’m about to go travel at the end of this year, and this is very helpful! Thank you so much 💖
I love this receipt! It hit me in the sweet tooth! Was that Ronaldo as your assistant?😂
That HAD to have been made for special occasions only and during spring and summer I’m guessing when sugar was more plentiful? I’m always amazed how versatile Rose Water was or flowers in general were for our previous generations.❤
Your facial expressions during whisking are priceless!
Now, the chew and chat!! Can't wait
Those look delicious!!
I'm waving to from Piedmont! Thanks for the video!!
Love the faces while whisking! 💕
Love it! I love that they were baked in cups.
