A Gluten Free Almond Lemon Cake From 1810

An early lemon flavored cake using almond flour. This tasted absolutely amazing! The crust around the cake was satisfyingly sweet and crunchy while the inside was soft and delicious. There were many grain free receipts in the 18th and 19th century, this is one of them. Common substitutions for wheat flour were almond and rice flour.

Almond Cake - 1810 2 heaping tablespoons of softened butter 2 cups of almond flour A splash of rose or orange flower water A little over 1 cup of granulated sugar 6 eggs The juice of half of a large lemon The rind of one large lemon Pour your almond flour into a mixing bowl and to this pound together half of one large egg white, or the egg white of a small egg, and your floral water. Combine until small pearls of flour form throughout. In a separate dish cream your softened butter and sugar together. In this same bowl then add 4 egg yolks and 1.5 egg whites, your lemon juice and lemon rind. Mix well. This batter will be a bright yellow and smell divine! Add your wet ingredients to your dry and mix well. Bake in a buttered cake pan at 350 degrees/176 C. for 40 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from your pan. Baking time will vary depending on how shallow or deep your cake pan is. Test if it is done by sticking a fork or a toothpick in it after at least half an hour. If it comes out clean and the top has cracked it is done.

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe.

[@EarlyAmerican]

This is for half of the original receipt. The original would have made a very large cake!

[@EarlyAmerican]

Next recipe that is coming out on Thursday will also be a gluten free dessert ^_^ chocolate cookies! The first time that I've used chocolate on the frontier.

[@rebeccarorie313]

Do you have to have flour and yeast in this recipe How do you get it to rise? Looks lovely!

[@wandamontgomery6030]

Can I use reg flour? Almond flour is sooo expensive.

[@Ichigodaifukuuu]

Thank you for not putting distracting music over your videos. I prefer these simple everyday sounds. Makes me calm down and has a nice ASMR feeling to it. I appreciate the work you put in each video. They are aesthetically pleasing.

Well said . Crazy @ name 😜

I agree too🌸 Much better without music and just the everyday sound 🌺

The steamship Arabia sunk in the Missouri river in 1856. It was packed with hundreds of thousands of everyday goods of the era. The wreck was discovered and excavated and thousands of perfectly preserved items are displayed in a museum in Kansas City. I mention this because it's shows the types of household goods available during the early nineteenth century. I was amazed at the variety.

[@cindymckimm9947]

Fellow Kansas Citian here. It's been a few years since my last visit, but what I remember in addition to all the artifacts were the bottles of still edible pickles and the fragrant imported French perfume. Really amazing.

[@karenmcpherson9221]

@@cindymckimm9947 I remember the bottled fruit and the mourning jewelry , not to mention the replicated bottle of perfume you could buy in the gift shop. They had greater variety than i imagined before I saw the Arabia.

Awww...you look so pleased and content while eating your cake. That was a lot of work but well worth it considering your smiling reaction. Alfred is sure to be good company when Ron is away for a few days so I hope you will adopt the little guy. On another note, I love watching your videos and appreciate how much effort you put into them. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless.

I love those old tools like the grinder, that brings back memories of my grandmother's kitchen because she never had any of the modern things like a blender. I actually have her meat grinder that I've used more times than I can recall. I also have a very old apple peeler/grinder, because as long as they're maintained, they keep right on working.

[@MannyBrum]

My grandmother had the meat grinder too, my mother still uses it.

[@pbrn1729]

I’ve baked several almond flour cakes but they didn’t rise as nicely as this one. Amazing cause you did not use a leavening agent. Or whisk the egg whites. Nice! And I love love love the lack of talking in order to hear the birds, the fire, the cutting. Lovely.

[@pennyelliot5658]

Justine you looked especially pretty today in you lovely dress! Also, I am not a fan of cake but watching you make this cake with that buttery color absolutely made my mouth water, even now as I type this i can almost taste it!!

This is similar to my grandma's almond cake, she'd used flour, and roasted the almonds and cut them up into little pieces, and put into the batter she decorated her cake with drizzled honey, lemon zest, and the left over almond pieces. Thank you for bringing back a delicious memory

[@Thisisit120]

I just think it’s amazing how much work people used to have to go through just for the simple pleasures in life. And the satisfying look on your face when you tasted your cake was awesome it must’ve been very good. Thank you for doing the videos

[@EKEACRES]

I'm watching this as I recover from Cervical Spine Surgery. I just think about how I suffered with severe neck pain for 21 years, and now I don't anymore. If it were really 1810, I'd never be free of that horrific pain like I am now. I don't know how people dealt with health problems back then?. Cake looks great:)

There are many recipes from medieval period on through that uses almond milk, almond flour, rice flour, potato flour, etc. Especially in Northern Europe where wheat didn't grow well. There were fast days, etc. too from Catholic faith that made large portions of year vegetarian for most people, with the exceptions that the Church made for certain types of animals like fish which many common folks didn't have access to. It's only when wheat became cheaply had that a lot of substitutes were done away with in sales and culture. Those recipes are great for gluten intolerant and those with Celiac and vegans as eggs and dairy were prohibited on meatless days, too
