Mrs Crocombe is back in the kitchens at Audley End House, making a suppertime treat not for the Braybrookes, but for her fellow upper servants. This delicately flavoured seed cake is an ideal evening snack with a slice of cheese or a nice cup of tea. (Or, indeed, both.)
English Heritage is a charity that cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites. Find out how you can support our work here: bit.ly/38Cv9lA
INGREDIENTS
• 6oz (170g) butter

METHOD
1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
2. Beat in the egg yolks and milk, then add the caraway seeds
3. Sift in the flour through a sieve, folding it in
4. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold these in to the mixture
5. Bake in a cake tin at 180°C (356°F) for 45 minutes to an hour
6. Use a skewer to check it's baked, then rest for 10-15 minutes before turning out of the tin to cool further

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.

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

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.

@@spacewolfcub You're welcome! My only advice is, not bake it quite as long as Mrs Crocombe says / see that it doesn't dry.

@@jeffcarty3292 You're a self-important bully. Nobody cares what you bake, and nobody will take your word over Mrs. Crocombe's. Go spread your irritating negativity elsewhere. You can't even tell that spacewolfcub was mocking you.

If you incorporate about a third of the egg whites first, it loosens the batter, making it easier to fold in the remaining whites and retaining more air. I think being the cook in such a wealthy house would be a very prestigious position.

I’d love to see a video of all the servants who work for Lord and lady Baybrook. And explaining the hierarchy. It’s always interested me.

As I am watching, I cannot help but think that Ms. Crocombe & her servants have more class today than most of us modern women.😊❤️Good acting & good recipes. I will give it a try. Thank you from FL.

That butter and sugar were well mixed, but not quite creamed together, that's why the batter was so dense.

I've never had caraway seeds in anything sweet. They have such a distinct flavor, and I can't imagine that flavor with sugar at all!

They go surprisingly nicely with sweet things. Candied caraway seeds were used in desserts since the middle ages.
