Julia Child's Reine De Saba (Queen of Sheba) Cake
Instructions
Prep:30minCook:55min
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.
