How to Make Seed Cake - The Victorian Way

[@ecenbt]

When Ms. Crocombe called us all untrained girls for using baking powder... I felt that

[@MossyMozart]

@ecenbt - It really STUNG, didn't it?

[@covishen]

I used baking powder in this recipe because I messed up and accidentally put the egg whites in with the butter before I foamed them. So I added 1.5 t of baking powder. It still worked out very well.

[@olduglyentwife5700]

I think Maryanne uses baking powder because her seed cake rises a lot higher.

[@cioccolatamania3622]

A good cake should never use baking powder anyway

[@1.2.1.0.R.I.O]

I'm a man and I felt that.

[@amikireicraftstore]

Nobody was safe from the shade today, not even baking powder 🤣💜

[@SEELE-ONE]

*cries while tossing it away*

[@laurasmith6933]

I know, right? Of course since I'm allergic to eggs, baking powder is a must.

[@niseplank4527]

I'm not giving it up. I just made chicken and biscuits.

[@DrawWithGigi]

Or them caraway seeds…”a toothbrush and tooth powder would do the job better”

[@kiyoshitamagawa9824]

I was just wondering about whether she was going to add baking powder when she put the kibosh on that :-).

[@idraote]

"Not that we get anything like that here"... Of course, Mrs Crocombe, nobody would be so bold as to think that... "Not that that stretches to the buying of tea or confectionery"... Of course, Mrs Crocome, we understand.

[@sampayne8134]

Idk why but when Mrs. Crocombe gave herself a slice of that seed cake I got so happy for her 😂

[@Lena-pw4zk]

I never enjoyed being shamed more than when Mrs. Crocombe said we were all badly trained for using baking powder. Imagine if she knew about self raising flour

[@krdiaz8026]

Worse, cake mixes.

[@nataliatheweirdo]

she just made me feel bad for all the times i used self raising flower xD

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Tbf, the baking powders available in her day prob weren't as... Purified? As they are now. I'm not sure double acting baking powder was around

[@LadyMephistopheles]

self rising flour is literally plain flour with baking powder so definitely yes.

“I’m going to have my slice now.” Yesssss Mrs C, who runs that kitchen??!?

[@hollyarrharr5238]

My grandad was brought up by Victorian parents- his mother was an excellent baker & he loved when she would made seed cakes! Later in life he developed Alzheimer’s, but luckily this memory came back to him, once I knew that, I decided to make them for him every weekend- thank you for keeping this recipe alive! 😊

[@Anne--Marie]

Did your husband's mother also use caraway seeds?

[@samuelline9573]

Fun fact: the baking powder we use today is very different from the kind used in the Victorian Era. Now it has less of a flavor and is double acting, meaning it works both before and during the baking process.

Mrs. Crocombe is an icon, a legend, and she is the moment. Also, the uncrowned Queen of Shade 🔥 She threw shade at people who don’t believe in ‘Vocal for Local’, except of course when some bougie people get sweeties and tea from London. You’re untrained if you use chemical additives.

[@dawne6419]

For this recipe, you will need...shade

[@JpopFanBoy]

You sure she was cooking in the kitchen and not the library? 🤣

[@AngelaGWillis]

One tip for Ms.C, mix in a small amount of your egg whites and stir like mad to lighten the entire batter, before gently folding in the rest. It helps the batter to be more easily distributed within the egg whites so that that the most air pockets remain and the cake stays lighter.

[@Sally4th_]

I came here to say the same. Watching poor Kathy trying to "gently" mix in the whites to that heavy batter had me wincing! Oh and it's easier if you switch to a metal spoon and use a cutting action.

[@manuela_esse]

@@Sally4th_ this is how things were made back then. If the metal spoon was not used, it's not accurate to use one

[@arpadczyliwampir]

@@manuela_esse and that modern whisk was accurate?...

[@manuela_esse]

@@arpadczyliwampir i said spoon. Metal whisks might have been used, it's possible, but maybe spoons were mostly wooden. I am talking about spoons

[@uptoolate2793]

@@manuela_esse Yeah, no. I don't that's it. Kathy, while a wonderful Mrs. C. in character, isn't actually a cook or baker in real life. She has no idea what's she's doing from and instinctive cook's perspective. But we love her for what she brings to the table and largely ignore the riff.

[@SeriouslyPointTaken]

We visited Audley End House at the weekend for our anniversary (should've visited sooner as we live so close!) and I was amazed at the sheer size of both the house and gardens! It may have been the largest stately home I've visited. The grounds are beautiful and vast, great to explore, and the restoration of the house and kitchens, with recordings and projections, really create the atmosphere of a bustling working house (which I think is the only thing missing from these videos, though it's understandable when you remember English Heritage is a charity rather than a great big production company). My partner's nan remembers visiting before the restoration, when the kitchen and house were pretty bare, and was amazed at the change when we showed her the guidebook we brought back. I think the memory of looking back at the house lit in the golden light of the late afternoon sun, the glistening river Cam running through the grounds in front with geese serenely floating downstream, will stay with me for a long time. It was a fantastic day

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

What a lovely description! As an american, it surprises me that a lowly baron was able to assemble such an amazing house!

This is lovely- some 40 years after Bilbo Baggins served a seed cake, I finally know what it is. Now, all I have to do is find a place in North Carolina that serves it, as I myself am not much of a cook and my teenage daughter who is, is a teenager and not amenable to my whims.

[@hypsyzygy506]

'Seed cake' could be made using different seeds for flavour, but by the Victorian period caraway seeds had pretty well become the standard. I remember having it at my grandma's, really enjoying the taste as I crushed a seed between my teeth.

[@LunarisArts]

The way she separates those eggs are a thing of beauty! I could never do that myself... might be due to the eggs I buy, and the shells being rather thin and frail.

[@MariahIsSkinnyFuckBlueLives]

I separate eggs the same way as her, I do accidentally break the yolk on the jagged shell edge sometimes tho

[@puppsmcgee74]

I recall my mother, who was a great cook, telling me years ago that one way to ensure you have stiff peaks in your egg whites is to use a bit of cream of tartar. But Mrs. Crocombe just shut that down with a quickness. lol

[@ilselindberg6557]

I've never found cream of tartar to be necessary, but if the egg whites are fighting you, a few drops of vinegar help a lot

[@TiffyVella1]

Now I daren't not add a wee smidgeon of lemon juice to the whipped cream!

[@MonikaCisek]

Your mother might have been a great cook for your standards but she must have been badly trained if she *dared* use cream of tartar... 😃 At least according to Mrs Crocombe!

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

What surprised me was that Mrs. C added the whipped egg whites all at one. Most other recipes I've seen where eggs provide the leavening call for adding 1/3 of the whipped whites to lighten the mixture, then gently fold in the remaining 2/3. Something to test out as the weather cools & baking takes the forefront.

[@Viscount_Castlereagh]

That is where I heard of it from! I always imagined it coated in seeds.

[@TiffyVella1]

Well, my husband always wanted one of those, and so I made him one. But, it was entirely different to this. Our version was a light vanilla cake which used poppy seeds in lieu of caraway. The poppy seeds were soaked in milk to soften them, but they were mixed generously throughout the entire cake. They gave a wonderful texture as the entire cake was filled with the lovely soft little seeds and the beautiful vanilla flavour.

My grandmother used to make this. It’s great to see the recipe being made ! She and my late mother also made peppermint creams, coconut pyramids, Turkish delight, toffee, fudge and peanut brittle. I didn’t like sweets and still don’t but learned how to make them all from granny and mum. I think it’s sad that so many cooking skills have been lost ie fewer people are able to do it all. It really doesn’t take much time and is cheaper than buying many readymade foods.

It would be interesting a sociological study about self-identification between the workers in a British upper-class household and the owners.

My domestic science teacher in the mid 60s was as much of a shade thrower as Mrs. C when it came to chemical additives. Baking powder, artificial, rather than fruit or vegetable food dyes or margarine were not allowed in her classes. As for confectionary, all that was not made at home, or preferably under her gaze at school, she declared to be a recipe against we girls ever being married because of the rotten teeth and flabby flesh commercial sweeties would cause us 😂😂😂
