Queen's Cake from The Fort George Bill of Fare and vanilla chai tea before tonight's War of 1812 book talk!
This actually is a more old-fashioned style of cake, as prepared: it only uses whipped egg whites for leavening. The spices are equal parts nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon; I added slightly more of them plus a dash of brandy this time—excellent decision. Unleash your inner Georgian rake and put some brandy in a recipe today!
@acrossthewavesoftime there is a quote from Elizabeth Simcoe on the adjacent page!
