Harry and Meghan's royal wedding cake contains 500 eggs, 200 lemons, and elderflower from the queen's estate — here's exactly what's inside

• Kensington Palace released a list of the ingredients in the royal wedding cake.
• It's a lemon sponge cake with elderflower syrup, lemon curd, and buttercream.
• It contains 200 lemons, 500 eggs, and 44 pounds of butter, flour, and sugar.

Preparations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding are fully underway. Rehearsals are beginning, people are camping out on the streets to claim the best viewing spots, and baker Claire Ptak is assembling the royal wedding cake.

Kensington Palace shared a list of the royal wedding cake ingredients — but it's not exactly a recipe that commoners can replicate at home. While it contains standard ingredients like sugar, butter, and flour, the queen also contributed 10 bottles of Elderflower Cordial from her Sandringham estate.

The list of ingredients includes:

• 200 Amalfi lemons
• 500 organic eggs from Suffolk
• 44 pounds (20 kilograms) of butter
• 44 pounds (20 kilograms) of flour
• 44 pounds (20 kilograms) of sugar
• 10 bottles of Sandringham Elderflower Cordial

Six hundred lucky guests will get to taste the cake at the lunchtime reception following the noon ceremony.
