JULIA CHILD'S REINE DE SABA (QUEEN OF SHEBA) CAKE



Julia Child's Reine De Saba (Queen of Sheba) Cake image

This is from Julia Child's first book, The French Chef. I learned so much from the early days of that show. This was my first attempt to make a cake from scratch when I was a wee one. My copy of The French Chef is pretty ragged. My boxer loved the book so much he ate the cover.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces semisweet chocolate, plus
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons dark rum or 2 tablespoons strong coffee
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup blanched almond (pulverized in blender or food processor with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup cake flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set the oven rack in lower middle level.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate in the rum or coffee. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, cut butter into.
  • pieces and cream it. When soft and fluffy, add sugar and beat 1 minute. Beat in egg yolks until well blended.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar and salt and continue beating until soft peaks are formed. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until stiff, shiny peaks are formed. Blend melted chocolate and coffee or rum into yolk mixture, then add almonds and almond extract.
  • Stir a quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate using a rubber spatula. Scoop the rest of the whites over chocolate and, alternating with sprinkles of flour, rapidly and delicately fold in the egg whites. Turn batter into buttered and floured 8-by-1 1/2-inch round cake pan, tilting it in all directions up to the rim all around. Set in preheated oven. Bake 25 minutes.
  • Cake is done when puffed to the top and a toothpick inserted 2 to 3 inches from edge comes out clean. The center should move slightly when the pan is gently shaken. Remove pan to a rack and let cool 15 minutes. Unmold onto rack. Let cool 2 hours before storing or icing.

  • Julia Child’s French Onion Soup. This is perhaps one of Julia’s most highly sought-after recipes. The hearty beef and onion broth is topped with toasted bread and melted cheese for a soup that’s so delicious, it’ll almost make you weep.
  • Quiche Lorraine. I’m sure you’ve heard of quiche Lorraine before, right? That’s all thanks to Julia Child, as her recipe is the one that made it so popular.
  • Beef Bourguignon. It really doesn’t get much more decadent than beef bourguignon. It’s basically beef that’s slow-simmered in a rich, red wine gravy, and it’s to die for.
  • French Crepes. Treat yourself this weekend and turn your kitchen into a Parisian cafe with this recipe for French crepes. Learning to perfect crepes can take a bit of patience, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll whip these up all the time.
  • Julia Child’s Coq au Vin. This recipe may look intimidating, but it’s actually one of Julia’s easier ones! Coq au vin is basically just what it sounds like — chicken and wine.
