I know that Scappi sometimes used paper coated in lard. The Scappi recipes that use this lard coated paper were used on meat and fish the way we'd use foil today. Although I'm sure that fat coated paper would also be used to prevent cakes from sticking. So I wouldn't be surprised if well-to-do 19th century American kitchens sometimes used parchment coated in fat either to prevent a cake from sticking to the pan during baking.

The modern version of the recipe, which is included with the post, calls for 1 cup blanched almonds in the ingredients. In the method, it says to add the almond flour. I-d simply add 1 cup of almond flour; you could grind or chop 1 cup of blanched almonds, but this is a really light cake, so I think almond flour is the way to go. Would love others to offer their comments.

Sohla, I have to admit that I have a small crush. No need to worry.
I love history, and cooking.
Your knowledge, and technique, especially with unknown variants of things is alluring.
I mean there are women that are attracted to Alton right?
Sorry, I think I just inadvertently insulted both of you.
Love your show!

My Great G use to make real mince meat pie. The modern mince meat pies which, are very difficult to find, are only with fruit. The real mince meat pies was as the name suggests were made of meat. I believe my Great G would use lamb and/or venison. I would enjoy seeing the original meat version made. Thank you.

Hey Sohla! I would love to make this cake, but I don't have anything planned for the remaining yolks. Can I reduce the eggs to 4 large whole eggs, add the yolks after the butter, and fold in the 4 aerated egg whites at the end?

It's so weird hearing my name so many times during this episode. XDD It's like when I worked Nunsense and hearing the actors say Sister Mary every few lines. You get to a point that it doesn't sound like a real name anymore.

I believe it was Benjamin Franklin, he had a baked pumpkin dessert that was his favorite, it had cut up pumpkin inside of another pumpkin with a mixture poured in. I can't remember it all.
Great video thank you.

Wow! That is a labor intensive cake! I wonder if Mary Todd did all the work herself, or if she had servants for the grunt work. It does look fabulous! And I also love almond extract. I still sift flour (sometimes.

And then there-s me: 43 and I STILL don-t have one! (Just about to get my first food processor actually lol)
Edit: I STILL have a softer like that!

The closest i-ll ever come to this is the package of -/almond cookies, from France, that i buy at my local supermarket for $2. 99 for 16 cookies = 4 packs of 4, otherwise i-d eat the whole bag at 1 sitting.

Would love to see a Danish Wedding Cake made, it has rings filled with marzipan, it is just amazing almond flavour. It was served at my husbands Danish grandmothers 100th birthday celebration.

Honestly I'd love to see Egyptian Basbousa it has origins back to the Ottoman empire.
Or
Koeksisters, they so wild for a cake and they have an interesting history on it

My mom had a sifter like that when I was a kid, except hers was the most old and beat up piece of kitchen equipment I had ever seen. I assume she got it from my grandma.

The actual original Mamie Eisenhower Millionaire Fudge recipe would be nice to have. I make this fudge every Christmas but would like to make the one Mamie made.

Sohla, could you make an Appalachian apple stack cake? I'd also like to know how and where this cake began. I do know that it was used as a wedding cake.
