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 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.

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.

New follower here, I've been watching for a few weeks now, as well as your back logs. Wanted to thank you for the hard work you guys put into these videos! Just so relaxing! Your channel is my new obsession! ♥️

I really like the cooking videos that have no talking, it's really quite relaxing. Especially with this old-time lifestyle!

I knew this would be ridiculously relaxing and I was not disappointed. Also, that cake looks fantastic.

I love the outfit! The dress and the color match is perfect. And they compliment you in a perfect way. Loveeee it!!! I also love orange/lemon cakes and it looks delicious!

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.

Why do I find this channel so warm,comforting and relaxing?😊👍

What a beautiful cake! The cracking of the fire is such a lovely background sound. Thanks for another fun and interesting video.

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.

Using your hands to mix awesome. The smile when you enjoyed the cake. The rabbit. Awesome video again. Really appreciate all the cooking stuff you two post. Cool and thanks 👍

Love how she fed Albert his almond and how he was overseeing the final touches on the almond cake..hope he got to taste a bite of it..😋🐰💕

Nice to meet you Alfred! Fantastic job on the cake Justine. I could almost taste it 😋

Alfred is so cute! Wow, the cake was a lot of work, many, many steps, but I'll bet it tasted divine!

Every time Justine uses a new gadget, I feel compelled to procure said item for myself as well 🤣

I love anything lemon especially this cake, it sounds so scrumptious I will be making it soon😋

I'm Soo loving Alfred and his little chair. Thanks for the recipe can't wait to try it out.

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.

Loved it! Going to try that recipe myself. Love the little bunny and the little makeshift rocking chair. I just love the whole idea of the Centre of that era

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!! Thank you both for all the hard work you put into your videos... you do an excellent job! Sign me..anxiously awaiting for more!!!!

Great channel! I love the way she takes us back to colonial times. Keep making these excellent vids.

Ooo that is mouth watering Thanks for sharing! Love it when you cook.

Just love the way you shell the almonds, it’s so soothing watching you go about your tasks gently and without rushing. You help me wind down.

And, I absolutely love that you include Alfred in the tasting of the products!! So sweet!!

This is so peaceful and quiet ! I mean no fan, no running water , no microwave, no food processor, no mowing machines , no cars ….

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

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

I need that little zester box!! The cake looks so good I can smell it!

What a great video! I love how easy the cake was to make and it looks so good.

Definitely appreciating your efforts & ancient cooking skills, such a peaceful video loved it... new to ur channel but every video is so beautifully executed & history of food, utensils, wood fire is extremely perfect..

I love watching your videos. It helps when I am a bit stressed. I know times where hard back then, but they were also simple to an extent. You make it all look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

The cake looks wonderful. Justine worked so hard on this cake . Blanching and peeling the almonds looked very time consuming . This was another super quality video. I loved this ❤

I could watch you cook all night. I like the fact that you find humor in it too. Your smiling made me smile.

You look very pleased with the way it turned out 😋 And you should be! That was a lot of work!

Thank you for giving us a fresh and calming view of life as it was. I've learned so much from your videos and can put them into use in the future.

Is it possible for you to start a playlist of all of your cooking so that I can watch them all on loop? Your videos are so soothing and educational. Thanks in advance!

Happy end to February. Your hair is very pretty relaxed and down today.

Omg, Alfred is adorable and Justine is being so cute when she takes the fork from Alfred lol. The cake looks delish!

I have a wheat allergy - thank you for this!! It looks amazing!! I can't wait to try this! I never thought about folks being able to make things gluten free back in the day! You are a sweet blessing!! 😊

I personally don't eat meat, but I have to admit is fascinating and entertaining all the videos, the way that 1800's people cook, clean, daily life. Thank you for educating that. Please continue to do more videos. Btw your house is very lovely

Greetings from Alberta, Canada. Have been watching for several weeks and I’m hooked ! So fascinating this series. Thank you 😊🇨🇦

That cake looked amazing. Especially, with the honey and almonds at the end!! Great job…this is my favorite ASMR channel. Thank you for all the hard work y’all do.

I think Alfred has found his "forever home" :)

I am definitely going to bake this thankyou for All the amazing recipes that you gift us with. PS just loved that little grin of total satisfaction at the end of this video. God Bless you Both oh yes and Bunny.

Love your home and your personalities

Looks so delicous!! Thanks for sharing!

I always appreciate the birdsong in your videos. Is the cabin in an isolated area? How far do you travel to the store for supplies? Greetings from the colonies (Western Australia)

I had no idea that "skinning" almonds was so easy. I do love watching the techniques used to mix. And I will cease to complain about my very aged stove that still works!

wow!!! God bless you and thankyou for sharing this delicious recipe, thankyou for bringing me back in time fabulous 🙏🏻❤️

The almond cake looks divine! Alfred is adorable!

Beautiful!! So nice to see the old fashion ways things were done....lot of hard work!! Great video! I am sure you will touch a million views!!

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:)

I love Almond Cake, and have never made it. Love it with orange or lemon, and an orange honey glaze. I so enjoy watching you make recipes with these classic old, well made tools that are often far better than our modern versions! Such a great channel to watch, learn, drool, and enjoy!

I may have to try this for my father's birthday since it's totally Celiac friendly! Especially when you grind your own flours and almond is an amazing flour. I've been watching for a few weeks now and I must say I love your videos. You give me hope that there is other sane, strong woman out there devoted to a path no modern women dare to take. I appreciate you. I feel like I could cook with you and enjoy eachothers company and quietness. I so admire your open wood fire for cooking and all the amazing vintage tools you have impress me and almost make me jealous. The 1800s seem like such an amazing time full of real people and they made sure they wiped all those strong people out so they wouldn't beat modern world but you are doing it and it just makes me so proud. I also saw your video about your mother and the hardship she faced being Assyrian. My heart goes out to you and your family. I loved that you added those photos and knowledge of there people being so old. Jesus's followers will rise to the glories they deserve. God bless! 💜

Hey there! I have been watching your videos constantly from the past few days just before going to bed as it makes me feel so relaxed and calm! Love and support, keep up the good work.

I love all the new gadgets. You once said that you couldn't afford lemons. I am glad you guys seem to be doing well. You're getting to eat all the foods you couldn't before having your own place. Kudos to you! Great Team!!

Look amazing thx for sharing. GOD Bless stay safe and healthy.

Such a relaxing video to watch. I love that this is a gluten free recipe! I have very similar bowls(and platters) to the ones you use in this video. I got mine from Portugal and Spain when we lived in southern Spain. I love how similar they are to yours, decorative interior and plain terracotta exterior. 😁

This looks really great! If I switch the sugar out for erythritol, I can make a sugar-free version of this due to my pre-diabetes. Thanks for the recipe!

Love love love going back in time with you ! I daydream all the time about how life was in 1800’s . We have land near a creek , I’d love to make a little log cabin and “play house “ lol maybe someday , thank you both for sharing the past with us all .

The bunny 😊 The dress. The vintage atmosphere. I'm glad I discovered this channel. Takes me away from the stress of the world for a little while. ❤🐇

Peeling all those almonds one by one looks very tedious. But I bet worth it in the end!! 😁💗

remember, don't keep Alfred to long you know how quickly rabbits breed lol

Being gluten intolerant this is a real treat for me! I’m amazed at the work it took to get the almond flour… wow. It was great to see the process though! And the cake looked delicious! Yum!

Love watching your videos, but I love modern conveniences ! My stove , refrigerator, heating/cooling, washer dryer, indoor plumbing, etc..I grew up with few of these in my early yrs, and learned to appreciate the modern conveniences..Don't get me wrong, there is a certain romanticism and charm to many ancient ways but just as a novelty not the every day..I love my coffee maker, and all my kitchen appliances, they make work so much easier.Bless our ancestors for all their laborious work of the past, and you two as you entertain us in the era long ago..

You had me at gluten-free!! Having celiac disease, it's always refreshing to see recipes like this, from way back when!

Gorgeous cake!

I love almond and lemon anything! Thanks, Justine!

I greatly enjoy your peaceful and period style cooking style. I watch often. Thank you.

Please give alfred a hug for me. He is a doll....just like you!!!!

Your channel is amazing and helps me in the extreme madness of the modern day world ! I have escaped to your era for a few years now and finding you is my new focus. I watch and rewatch. Thank you !

I love how goofy Justine is😄 I have finally found the perfect time to watch your videos…it is every morning coffee before going to work as a nurse.

Looks delicious, I'd like to try it. I'm so glad you can find almond flour already prepared now.

Looks so yummy!! Love all the old time kitchen gadgets! The coffee grinder made me think of the movie Dances with Wolves when he was showing the Native Americans how to make coffee.

I just love watching her cook its therapeutic in a way....I often spend hours cooking or baking just to relieve stress

Omggg you guys are really my stress busters❤️❤️❤️ Going with the natural sound is mind blowing🔥 and by the way I love your fingers❤️❤️ Great video... Needed in this period of time

You look wonderful in this video! So much happier than where you were before, and the embodiment of Spring.

Ich bewundere dich echt sehr für das was du tust. Es ist die liebste Zeit in der ich auch sehr gern gelebt hätte. Die Kleider...Keine Handys.. die einfachen holzhütten...viel an der frischen Luft sein....Frauen kochen und mann arbeitet....Pferde statt Autos...Keine Technik...alles selber machen. Mir gefällt diese Zeit einfach am besten. Ich würde hier sofort alles stehen und liegen lassen und diese Art zu leben bevorzugen! Hut ab Justine für all die Arbeit. Und ich liebe deine Drama Episoden. Mach weiter so!❤❤❤❤❤

This looks absolutely delicious! I definitely will have to make this at some point. I think I'll wait until Autumn, it seems like a perfect treat for that season.

That was beautiful to watch. Thank you!

I had such a bad day but just before bed I saw you posted a video it made me happy again thank you. I make an almond flour banana loaf but yours looks better 👍

Justine honey, that is the cutest, prettiest, Bundt cake ever. Love it!! As always, nicely done!! It looks delicious!!

That looks SOOO delicious, well done Ma'am

Beautiful cake, and super funny ending, loved it!

Haha love that you’re trying so hard not to laugh while rocking on the chair with your bunny at the beginning. Love your vids ! Much love from California ❤

Watched some of your videos. I knew that a century or two ago it took a lot of work and effort to make a meal. But seeing it makes you really appreciate it. Thank you!

Thank you for recepies and instructions.

Justine, I had my first piece of cake that was made with almond flour! it was very good!! Thank you for your receipt.! I will make yours!!

I need to get myself a rocking chair... And some lemon cake too.

I love that there is no dialogue in these videos, they're so peaceful just as they are

I can't wait to try this recipe, gluten-free or not....it looks delicious!!! Going off on a slight tangent here: It's funny you point out it's gluten-free. Our neighbor was kind enough to plow our driveway during a recent snowstorm and I wanted to bake him some cookies or something to say thanks. I started obsessing over it and told my husband that these days it seems everyone is allergic to stuff like nuts and gluten and you really have to be careful when you bake something so you don't end up killing them with an allergic reaction or diabetic shock. Gone are the good old days when you wouldn't think twice about dropping off some walnut brownies full of gluten. LOL. Love your channel!!!

I love your videos, they calm down myself when I'm nervous, thank you

I love your coffee mill, I've been looking for one like that for awhile now.

The ASMR of your videos are fantastic. Love it!

Could you show us how they would have washed dishes back then? How they made soap?

That looks and sounds delicious! 😋

I love the way Alfred was included in the fun.

BEAUTIFUL AREA & TESTY CAKE 1810😍👍

Es tan bello 💟 todo !! Gracias gracias y gracias 🙏.
