MARTHA WASHINGTON'S GREAT CAKE



Martha Washington's Great Cake image

Just the other day--while laying on the couch being sick--I watched Martha Stewart's TV program. Caroline Kennedy is writing a book featuring recipes from our country's past. Martha brought out her old catering service HUGE Hobart mixer, and it was fun (being sick & all "fun" is relative!) to watch her put this together---WOW! Today I was paging through a "Christmas traditions" book my SIL gave me a few years ago and wow--here's the recipe Martha S. & Caroline Kennedy were re-creating on the TV program. The book says, "From an old manuscript dated 'Mount Vernon, 1781" made by Martha Custis Washington for her grandmama." I'm purely guessing on the serving amounts.

Provided by Debber

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 huge cake, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

40 eggs, separated
4 lbs butter, softened
4 lbs sugar
5 lbs flour
5 lbs fruit (pears & apples)
1/2 ounce mace
1 nutmeg
1 cup wine
french brandy

Steps:

  • WRITTEN AS PER MARTHA WASHINGTON'S DIRECTIONS.
  • Take forty eggs and divide the whites from the yolks, and beat them (whites) to a froth.
  • Then work the butter to a cream, and put the whites of the eggs to it, a cup at a time, until well-worked.
  • Then add sugar (finely powdered) to it in the same manner (one cup at a time).
  • Then put the egg yolks and flour and fruit to it.
  • Add to it mace, nutmeg, wine and brandy.
  • Two hours will bake it. (350 degrees).
  • In the TV program: Martha Stewart baked this in a 16x16x3-inch square pan (it was HUGE!). I suppose you could divide the batter between two 13x9 pans, too.
  • She frosted it with a meringue (whipped egg white & sugar) that was lightly baked to give it a crunch -- and claimed that it would keep for weeks if the cake wasn't cut.
  • She's got a smaller version on her website.

  • Combine the currants, orange and lemon peels, and citron in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the Madeira, and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for at least 3 hours, or as long as overnight. Stir the remainder of the Madeira together with the brandy, cover, and set aside. When ready to bake the cake, preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Drain the fruits in a large strainer set over a bowl, stirring occasionally to extract as much of the Madeira as possible. Add the strained Madeira to the set-aside Madeira and brandy. Combine 1/4 cup of the flour with the fruit, and mix well. Add the almonds, and set aside. Sift the remaining flour with the nutmeg and mace. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is light. Add the sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating for several minutes after adding each ingredient. Whisk the egg yolks until they are light and smooth, and add them to the butter and sugar. Continue to beat for several minutes
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, start beating the egg whites on low speed, gradually adding 2 tablespoons of the sugar. After about 3 minutes, or when they just begin to form soft peaks, increase the speed to high and continue adding the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until all the sugar is incorporated and the egg whites form soft peaks. Add the rose water, and continue beating to form stiff peaks. Use immediately to ice the cake.
