Recreating a Cake That Was Popular for 150 Years - Queen’s Cakes |ASMR Real Historical Recipies|

Recreating a Cake That Was Popular for 150 Years! From the 1720s-1870 (at least!) Queen's Cakes were among the most popularly made cakes for the working class and the wealthy. These cakes started out in Europe but by the mid 18th century they were exceptionally popular in North America as well. Let's compare two recipes. There are so many different recipies for Queen's Cakes it was hard to only pick 2. These can be eaten plain, iced or with sugar sprinkled on top.

With so many different recipes and ways to make a historical Queen's Cake what then makes a cake a Queen's Cake? Historical Queen's Cakes are basically just small cakes baked in tins or small molds (think like a modern day muffin) which have some sort of fruit or fruit flavor. Often this fruit was currents, however some recipes ommited adding dried fruit entierly and inside asked to use fruit flavorings.

You know that saying, Eat like a King in the morning a Prince in the afternoon and a Polper at night? That was for men. So Queens Princesses and Nons.😁 little portions with big punch. Sustenance. ✌🏻💖🇺🇸🖖🏻

[@jazzycat1309]

Are these old recipes just recorded online for anyone to follow or are you making them using techniques from the time?

[@wherami]

Wonderful!

[@mariansmith7694]

Looks so good. Sweet tribute to Her Majasty ❤️...

[@mariansmith7694]

At Royal weddings, the cake was a fruit cake 🎂. Yours is similar. I love them. You are teaching us that our Pioneer and Frontier Folk were really very modern.

[@godfirst9990]

I love this videos because they're straight to the point...no ceaseless talk, no sound effect, no nothing. A breath of fresh air

[@pookoos]

These are my go to vids each night, because there's no soundtrack, no distractions, no talky talk, no fast cuts, nobody trying to be cutsey or outrageous or extra sarcastic or cynical. It feeds my soul with peace. Unfortunately, it leaves my belly empty and makes me sooo hungry, but it's worth it...

[@godfirst9990]

@@pookoos me too...i always hate the long ok intros and they have the nerve to tell you not to skip the videos..but with this one i just sit there and enjoy everything

[@Adennative]

I hate those videos especially when people can’t stop smacking their lips.

[@ronaldf.a6008]

Halloo semuaa

[@christinegraves8957]

When I have too much thinking going on in my head I love watching you cook. It’s very calming and takes my mind off of everything.

[@lid144]

I've always used an electric mixer and food processor for baking but I'm totally fascinated by the pre-electric baking techniques and instruments. Loved watching this.

[@CDForney]

I like the use of a whisk made out of pieces of broom straws 🥰

[@everyone7607]

I have watched many people cooking but you are so patient with everything you do!!step by step and you are doing it with love. it's so unique and extraordinary and at the same time exausting and you work so hard for us in order to not only starting trying new things but also appreciate the old techniques and stop complaining how boring modern life has become. well done guys!

[@ronaldf.a6008]

Hallo gaes

[@darleneholtrop4532]

So true! I put up a couple pictures of ladies using a wringer washer and hanging clothes out on a line to keep perspective on the "chore" of doing laundry now. 🧺

[@nicolecoleman5747]

I had no idea that you started this channel recently. I adore this channel. It is something to preserve our history and help us discover the way of life back then, which I think is really significant and contributes to not only KZbinrs but humanity as a whole. This is an awesome channel and I really like your content Justine. I also have a passion for history.

[@stevenvaldezii7936]

This channel just gets better and better.

[@courtneyrussell9650]

Hey Justine, can you do a what I eat in a day video from 150 years ago I’d love to see what you and ron eat each day

[@kristimorgan3307]

The first Queens Cake reminds me so much of Welsh Tea Cakes that my grandmother would make with currants! Looks delicious!

[@Ater_Draco]

You're right, it's similar to the Bara Brith recipe

[@havanadaurcy1321]

It must be my grandmother being of Jacobite descent but she mixed in glacê cherries (those bright red things) like her mother.

[@femalism1715]

Both old receipts are similar to modern sponge cake recipes (no liquid, no leavening). Thanks Justine! I look forward to the taste tests. Currents vs. lemon

[@ic1815]

I was feverishly refreshing for this video to come out, my favorite: baking!! Looks like this is a pretty fancy recipe with no expense spared… love it.

[@timstanlake2811]

I love your content which is weird because I typically like to hear people talk and connect with their audience but there is something special and very calming about what you guys bring and then you two roll in and give us a full show like the cupcake frosting segment and give me tons of chuckles. Thank you for what you do. I seriously sometimes dream of a life this simple, but then I remember that outhouses some along with it🤪🤣😂

[@pamelakern2849]

I am sure Justine has worked very hard , mastering the art of cooking over a fire . 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@monteceitomoocher]

I'll be right over for tea and cake!, when i was very very young i can remember my grandmother buying sugar in cones just like those, tate and lyle brand, and the light blue wrap they came in.

[@karenhummel49]

I've heard of Queens cake, never had it. Looks delicious 😋. I'm making Amish friendship bread right now. This looks like a nice recipe to try thanks 😊

[@wandamontgomery6030]

I love making amish bread 😊

[@YvonneO]

That's a lot of butter you had to churn Justine 😵‍💫love the nutmeg grinder, so well made. Yummy receipts and easy 😊

[@cadeevans4623]

Very refreshing that cake looks delicious historical cake

[@Rage-of-BC]

Here I am in the hood watching you cook these beautiful meals. The last 2 yrs have given me a different perspective on my life and I find myself wanting to learn the "old ways"...

[@aimee2234]

Looks delicious, Justine! Love that you used the sugar from Kandye's shop... See you & Ron soon! xoxo

[@alaskangal1973]

As you know, we have recently moved to Alaska. It's been raining on us...nonstop. I appreciate your videos. It lifts my spirits up. Thank you. 🤗

[@brietea23]

Thank you for making these videos. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve soothed me to sleep / out of anxiety after some incredibly rough nights in the last year. I hope you enjoy making them as much as we love watching them ❤

[@onelovemon1784]

The magic that is created on that simple authentic wooden table and pretty modest fire place

[@britpoppansy]

I just love watching you and Ron's chickens being happy and free outside foraging.

[@49rogs]

I love watching you make your things from the 1800s and and I loved your cookie baking sheet that has the hearts in it and I wanted to let you know that I just like watching your show and thank you for putting it out and may God Bless you both and Candy

[@49rogs]

Congratulations on your Engagement. Love to You both

[@prashansasinghthakur8998]

Never stop making videos...they are really addictive to me.

[@danpatch4751]

This looks so good, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@VidalMoon]

I'm really enjoying the 1700's aesthetic! It has a real cozy vibe.

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

You make history come alive with your informative videos. Thank you. I would like to visit earlier centuries but never live there.

[@nicholasfiala6205]

I've recently gotten into a lot of kitchen/meal making/etc and particularly, baking... I feel like one of the most calming things about these videos is the fact that I don't think I've ever seen a spill, dropped ingredient, or much of what-I'd-call-a-normal-kitchen at all. I gotta imagine there are outtakes but please leave them out, I prefer the fantasy of the existence of a kitchen that isn't messy.

[@lycheewind]

Love you guy’s I’m really interested in mid 18th kind of things you guys are amazing! Keep up the work

[@lycheewind]

Also the 1700 :)

[@jantrewitt4058]

Always love your cooking shows!! You do such a great job, Justine.

[@SPEDTeacher23Math]

I really enjoy these videos, especially the little details.

[@ArmyJames]

Hi Justine - thank you for this video subject, which coincided with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Love from up in British North America (now Canada).

[@jenniferdemassimo3012]

Looks delish! Yummy 😋Nice video as always.

[@jojeanajaxon]

Wooow... this is seriously just awesome. Reminds me of my great grandmother's old place. Ah the comforts of childhood..

[@samanthaclostermery6870]

Oh my stars I'm so happy to see the cone of sugar, so authentic 💗💗

[@samhaina]

Wow, I totaly forgot there is Mace too. A spice with some awesome benefits. Thank you so much for sharing these hidden goodies with us.

[@mjlvnv]

They look delicious! I’m definitely going to have to make these

[@kristineknowles7406]

Justine you make cooking in this era look so easy , I wonder how many meals/desserts that nutmeg gadget has and will continue to make. 😄

Looks wonderful, those are awesome ancient Queen's cakes,watchin your shows is truly so refreshing and relaxing for me, thank you so much.

[@craftingontheporchwithbill]

Beautiful; can almost smell them. Two of those and a mug of tea will make an evening just right. Thank you, Justine.

[@donnagagne3813]

Another wonderful and fun video. i always look forward to these. Thank you so much.

[@RedMapleCanada]

Beautiful little cakes, wonderful sharing! 👍😍

[@TheLadymoonstone]

I love your nutmeg grinder, very cool. Also I drooled all over my desk at work. You are a fantastic cook and I love how you do it the 1820's way. Cheers from the pacific northwest.

[@noorimeldaelle3403]

Hello Justine i am from Singapore i am 40 years old. Honestly i think recipes from the old ancient century taste much BETTER than now cause all the ingredients that were being used at that time were all natural. Thank u so much for sharing with us.

[@betsyanastasi967]

It's always fascinating to see the different ingredients. Everything looks so good! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@rlmbmq]

Not a day goes by that I don’t wait on anticipation for a new video or watch an old one. Thanks Justine and Ron!

[@ronrayfield8177]

Thankyou so much

[@CDForney]

I’ve heard of these and am excited to see how you make them 🥰❤️

[@CDForney]

What was that thing used to grate the nutmeg?? I’ve never seen one of those

[@CDForney]

Yayyy you showed us in the chew n chat video 🥰

[@tockie4816]

An art that requires a specific talent. And, you seem to have it in abundance. I love watching you take your take your time and put the effort in.

I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a huge history Nerd & I love reading about life during the 18th century. Thank you for such an awesome channel

[@travy3606]

This is technically at the start of the 19th century

[@christoromiarafael8864]

The traditional way of life has the best feel. This video takes me back to traditional life. I always hope so. 😍😍😍

[@tammyevans7333]

So very refreshing looking, so yummy

[@carlathemet3511]

Very nice video! Keep up the good work.

[@LittleOwlHomeschool]

I recently found your channel looking up things for my girls to learn about the pioneers. We’re studying the 1800’s and they are fascinated with your channel. Random question….do your chickens free range as their only food source or do you supplement with feed? Most of ours free range but was curious back when how they fed chickens. Thanks!

[@EarlyAmerican]

They free range but we supplement with feed 🙂

[@toneenorman2135]

How do you keep them safe from predators? Thank you.

[@waltersims493]

From Deb in Charlotte, Justine you just blow me away how you can cook like you are from 200 years ago! I love love that nutmeg grater. Where did you get that? Freshly grated nutmeg must taste incredible. Plus I wish you had smellavision because it must smell divine. Really love this one. ❤

[@gulltips1751]

Impressive cultural vedo its memories of our elders wow

[@mymodernhomestead]

Beautiful as always! Great job! 😍

[@margui6224]

Thank you for the recipes. They look great and looks delicious.

[@ReginaDailey]

That is a cool nutmeg grater. I would love to have one.

[@h_githma]

I'm fascinated with the spices incorporated in these receipts. Have cinnamon and nutmeg trees at home but rarely use them

[@aashi6672]

love watching the BAKING more than food.

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Only cooking show I watch😊 I know you would probably love to go back in time, but I'd miss you and your show : ) 😄

[@timstanlake2811]

I have always used freshly grated nutmeg but have never seen s gadget like the grinder you're using. Am I able to purchase something like that anywhere. LOVE IT👏

[@lauraMacKinnon321]

I really love the sounds of this.

[@annathomas2528]

I don't know how time flies when I watch your videos.

[@Schlachtschule]

That is the coolest nutmeg grater I've ever seen!

[@Nintendofan-yk4cd]

Really cool to see those sugar cones!

[@karlstine2065]

Those cakes are so well cooked in your oven. Good job.

As always looks Delish Justine!

[@sujinnastory]

ฉันอยากรู้ว่าคุณใช้ชีวิตจริงในกระท่อมหลังนี้เลยไหมหรือเพียงไว้ถ่ายทอดเรื่องราวของอาหารในอดีตให้เราได้รับชม ขอบคุณล่วงหน้าสำหรับคำตอบ อาหารทุกเมนูของคุณดูน่าทานมาก 😊

[@shirleygiordano7627]

I love your awesome videos. Thanks! I hope you make a cookbook one of these days, with the current way to create these awesome recipes. Oh, and BTW, I will never complain about laundry day again.

[@rkm1091]

Just a quick question, what is lemon essence? Like oil and the juice combined? It looked amazing whatever it was

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! 😀🌸

[@koontank720]

Amazing. They looks very tasty!

[@proseincproseinc9815]

love your shows so calming

[@enricakita1]

Love everything, especially the….WHISK!😂😂😂

[@adrianfletcher2829]

I know this may be off topic but Ron I'm not sure if you know this keeping your flintlock above the fireplace will dry out the stock and possibly cause it to crack, I lived in New England most of my life and have seen that happen to several vintage flintlock and percussion cap rifles. Just a heads up. I absolutely enjoy both of your channels.

[@antonellascordo1825]

Bellissima la location,i costumi ,gli utensili,l'ambientazione,quel bellissimo camino.Tutto concorre a creare l'atmosfera del periodo rappresentato,lei è un po pasticciona ma va perdonata e ne va apprezzato invece l'impegno e la creatività.

[@terraboundmisfit]

I find it interesting that the earlier receipt is more like cookie dough, and the later one is closer to actual cake batter. Love your content.

[@rarespiritwendy]

Hi, I have a quick question about the sugar. Does it break off easily..or do you need to Harte it or scrape it with a knife? Anyone, please..ty! Love this channel…it’s so soothing 😊btw….what a gorgeous nutmeg grinder!❤

[@kimholch1006]

The small cakes are so simple bit look so delicious. My daughter wanted to say she loves your chickens. We visit a farm near us and she likes to hang out with the chickens.

[@alisonjanvrin5448]

Justine, what is the handheld grinder you used and what was it that you put inside to grind? Love all your videos, I just found them. Keep the cooking videos going. I get great dinner ideas from you. Great job!!

[@dianesavant2818]

Such beautiful bowls.

[@jodez1049]

Hi absolutely Amazing thank you ♥️♥️💯👍

[@friederikeg781]

Very nice! I think I have to try out both recipes myself. Only I don't have such wonderful cast iron moulds. I am wondering if 'pickled' is a typo for 'picked'? I have come across that term before, as there was a danger of little stones in dried food.

[@vermontDavid]

love your channel. I would suggest that you fold the egg whites in at the very end of mixing. Adds lift to the cakes.

[@brennasaccone7485]

you had me at 'cream together butter and sugar'

[@mattydyourdan]

This is like early 1800s A.S.M.R., I kinda like it. 😊

[@СолнечныйПарус-р7щ]

Well done, Justine! True, we, due to our poverty and frugality, completely smear the butter from the pipkins, sprinkling its remains with flour, and sending it to the dough. My leftover butter in the pipkin is never sent to the sink. But you are so lucky - born with Ron under a lucky star, since you are your proprietress's great-niece, and you have a lot of food products. Plus, Ron makes a lot of money cutting and selling firewood, he has his own logging business in the city.😄😄🙃

[@СолнечныйПарус-р7щ]

I don't use messengers. I try to be less dependent on them. Who needs - I'm talking on the phone. (I don't want to be glued to a smartphone that flickers with "phantasmal" light. Besides, it doesn't work well for me, it's oldy.) But thank you for your invaluable attention, that the "founding fathers" themselves paid attention to me !! 🤩🤗Apparently, my comments with peppercorns bother you ?? Well, I won't write them. Thank you very much again.🤫😲😢💋

[@raymaiden958]

The period nutmeg grinder is ingenious and a treasure to see in action.

[@noooasa3080]

Hi,Justine! I really love your videos. Watching your videos is the best way to end my day relaxing! I feel like all my negative feelings disappear when I watch your videos. Thank you for always making me happy😀 I wish you happiness and good health with love from across the ocean in Japan🇯🇵 Take care yourself💗

[@kevinpalmer9756]

Am I correct to assume that you chose Queen Cakes for your newest video as a tribute to life of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II?

[@deliarodriquez7129]

Thats cute.they should had keep doing them like that.

[@TaraFinlay]

Justine, is that a new dress? I love it. I just sewed a long sleeved gown from this period for one of my dolls. It isn't on my channel yet. All my dolls will be from around this period and I plan on making a doll house from the period as well. Do you ever plan on doing more videos about the clothing? I am interested in if you make it yourself or what. Also, would american married ladies wear lace caps like British women would?

[@menopausalbarbie7467]

Thanks for another lovely video 💜💜💜
