would you eat 20 yr old cake?

I found this old recipe on this site while trying to look up WOTY. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it!

100 Year Old Recipe for Wedding Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

50 eggs
5 pounds sugar
5 pounds flour
5 pounds butter
15 pounds raisins
3 pounds citron
10 pounds currants
1 pint brandy
1/4 ounce cloves
1 ounce cinnamon
4 ounces mace
4 ounces nutmeg

No directions are given for this cake, just the ingredients. The recipe comes from the book, 'Centennial Buckeye Cookbook,' published in 1876.
It says this makes 44-1/2 pounds of cake and will keep for 20 years!
