How to Make Pound Cakes in the 18th Century |1 Pound of Sugar|😲 

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.

I love how Ron mysteriously appears just a the cakes are ready to be eaten. 😂 😋🤤

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. ❤

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!!

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. ❤

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.

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 love watching you cook! Learning to cook over an open hearth is amazing. Keep history alive & pass it on.

These pound cakes were interesting. I loved watching Justine bake them. Thankyou Ron and Justine ❤❤

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 ❤

What a fulfilling and healthy life one could live out there🌄

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😊

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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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 your videos so much! Thank you for doing these as ASMR videos, I really need ASMR to calm my anxiety after a long day.

always so calming to watch, and I learn cooking and baking things in the process

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❤

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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!

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 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 :) ❤

Im moroccan and i live in France, im fun of you ❤❤❤❤❤

I don't know what you would have done without your helper! He really saved the day.

They looked great, and Ron looked like he enjoyed them as well!

They looks great and delicious. Thank you for the recipe, Justine.

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🥱

I love these videos so much I just wish that they lasted longer! :)

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.❤

So Cozy! You and Ron are adorable together too ❤

Thank you for the video & all your hard work Justine & Ron! God bless you!

Whipping face is adorable 😊 thank you for a wonderful video!

What a treat to have both of you in the cooking segment 😊. How many cookies does the receipt make? Thank you...& I enjoy ALL your videos ❤

You two are an amazing couple

Excellent recipe! The rose water was a surprise truthfully but I'm sure it tastes great.

I love this receipt! It hit me in the sweet tooth! Was that Ronaldo as your assistant?😂

Now, the chew and chat!! Can't wait

You are an amazing cook Justine. I Love watching your videos. 🍰🍰🍰

Really look so delicious 😋😍😍

They look yummy! I can see Ron is a big fan! 😀

AH!!! Caraway seeds! The bane of the culinary arts!!!! You make great videos, thank you.

Nice video...Glad you had an assistant today to help you out! Keep up the good work.

이 동영상이 너무 좋아요. 조용한 모닥불 소리, 요리하는 소리, 표현방식 모두 마음을 편안하게 합니다. 숲속 풍경도 아름답습니다.

Love the faces while whisking! 💕

Your facial expressions during whisking are priceless!

Truly appreciate channels like this that make a very creative approach to a genre

Hello! I always support your charming/cool activities. ^^

I love pound cake and drinking hot chocolate, the two go together very nicely.....Reverend Christine.

I'm waving to from Piedmont! Thanks for the video!!

You and Ron are so cute! Justine has arms of steel!

Can you imagine how much it would cost today to make these here in the UK with utter and eggs costing a fortune would cost about £15. 😂😂 but they look delicious and so so satisfying watching you justice recreating and bring re ipes back to life in a traditional way. Makes me want to cook in a fireplace and I just love your pots pans and utensils, fascinating x

I know this isn’t related to the video but I was wondering if you could tell us how early Americans kept cool in the summers. Especially having to use open fire to cook most of the time. Thank you for your videos!

I’m about to go travel at the end of this year, and this is very helpful! Thank you so much 💖

Love it! I love that they were baked in cups.

Love your videos so much!

Beautiful, calming vdo

Waoo so delicious

It’s nice to see Ron make an appearance on early American!😃🤗

love how Ron mysteriously appears just a the cakes are ready to be eaten. 😂 😋🤤

Amazing view 👏👏👏

Ron your hair cut does not look bad 👍

You two make such a cute pair !❤

Awesome very nice recipe 👌👌

Wow Nice work 🥰💕🎉👌

I love how Ron mysteriously appears just a the cakes are ready to be eaten.

I love pound cake. Those look delicious!

I wonder who the poor soul was who actually discovered that if you whisk eggs long enough they become foamy? I am certain it started as a cruel prison method of torture

Beautiful nature 😍

This channel is awesome.

Beautiful performance 😀👏👏👍

Looking delicious yammy 🤤😋

I want a "Ron assistant" to help in my baking! LOL

I wonder when people started whisking the yolks and whites seperately, so the egg whites make it lighter? If the less fluffy yolks lighten the flour, sugar butter and flavoring, it becomes easier to fold the very fluffy whites in so the tiny air bubbles actually make it rise some. :) Yum, though!

Wonderful place and conventional life style

In one of your videos you showed a two wheel hand cart that I have also seen in some World War I and World War II videos, the difference being that the one you have has a slanting cargo bed that may have some problems in holding cargo. But the carts I have seen in the World War videos had level cargo beds that were very good at holding cargo. A difference here may be that your cart has handles that come straight out from under the cargo bed, while the carts from the World Wars had handles that curved upward from under the cargo bed into the mans hands that were pulling the cart. I know you are very good at doing research into this sort of thing .and if you can, it could be very useful for homesteaders and prepare of today.

Those look delicious!!

4:46 Sweet! 😊

By the way this might interest you but during the second world war when butter was very hard to come by but used margarine and it worked just as and I have made this with coconut butter when I have run short on the Marge or butter... You can even do it with olive oil but it requires a lot more beating... A lot less oil

❤ your channel !

Just found your channel. I think it’s great! I’m not trying to be picky here, just informing you in case you would like to know, but... I see the title is 18th century. If you’re talking about the 1800s then that’s the 19th century. Easy to get mixed up. New subscriber though. I look forward to making my way through the videos.

When do i get to come over for dinner! I can hitch the wagon and be there in a couple days! 😂😊

Love this cake , I must try it looks 😋 yummy

WOW, this receipt takes some musckles. Looks mighty tasty.

They look so YUMMY!!

Stunning 😍

Your face when mixing the egg mixture 😖 Priceless 😂 🤘🥰🤘

The original pound cake... Fantastic recipe

I love the way you live. I would like to find a man willing to do that with me in my house built in 1892.

You two are so sweet together, i love it😊❤

I love how Ron mysterious appears just a the cakes are ready to be eaten
