Nine days to the ball! You know what that means!? Almost time for some amazing 18th century birthday cake. Did you know they had birthday cake back then? Yes! But it is not like what we know today. A traditional cake that George Washington would have eaten was a bunt spice cake. There are five types of spices, two types of candied citrus peel, and is doused in brandy and sherry. Here is the recipe we will be using for the ball minus the brandy and sherry. http://recipes.history.org/2012/03/to-make-a-rich-cake/
