Dear Folks,

This is the question I sent to you 4 or 5 days ago. I did not find out what
Maillard's Chocolate is, but I had several requests for the recipe. Sorry it
has taken me awhile to respond, but had company over the holiday, and spent
all my time enjoying them. Here it is:


>I have found a recipe for the Queen Mum's favorite cake, and it sounds

no

QUEEN MOTHER'S CAKE

6 oz Maillard's sweet chocolate
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites
1 cup (6 0z) whole unblancehed almonds (grated)

Melt chocolate over hot water. Cool. In bowl, cream butter. Gradually add
sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time.
stir in cooled melted chocolate. Add grated almonds and mix well. In
separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
Turn into a well buttered 8 or 9 inch springform pan. Bake at 375 degrees
for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes
more. (Toothpick inserted in center of cake, comes out clean.) Remove from
oven, and place pan on wet, folded towel. Let sit for 15 minutes. Remove
cake from pan and place on cake rack. Let stand 24 hours before frosting.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING
2 bars (8 ounces each) Maillard's sweet chocolate
1/2 cup coffee
1/4 cup heavy cream
Break chocolate into pieces, and add to coffee. Heat in top part of double
boiler until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat. Fill bottom of double
boiler with cold water. Place chocolate mixture over the cold water, and
slowly stir in the heavy cream. Continue stirring mixture slowly until
frosting is quite thick. Pour over cake, completely covering surface. Half
of this recipe may be enough for frosting this cake. Depends on how sweet
you want it.
