Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Chocolate-butter icing (Glaçage au chocolat)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Jane on May 14, 2022

    I was watching 'Julia' on HBO and Julia Child made a wonderful looking cake, Queen of Sheba, to help her convince WGBH to make the French Chef TV show. I wanted a quick, g-f cake (that didn't require a trip to the store) for dinner with friends so decided to make this one. I don't know why this cake has never been on my radar before - what a great cake. Lovely flavor and texture, light yet rich, looks pretty. On my favorites list it goes.
