As a Mainer, I watched Julia on PBS but cooked using Marjorie Standish’ cookbooks. And can attest to “don’t let the critters get your cake” due to the time I put a beautifully frosted Chocolate Sheet Cake outside to cool. Came back to find squirrel tracks all through that fudge frosting from one end of the pan to the other. In the event that happens, you get to give said squirrel an unflattering nickname, but you have to keep it clean because your 8-yo niece is watching you as steam is coming out your ears. Butsy. The squirrel’s name is Butsy.

Like Emmy, I'm not mad about almond essence either, so I tend to use Amaretto liqueur instead: it adds an almond hit without the overpowering, sometimes chemical, flavour of essence. Plus, it comes in a much larger bottle, so I’m more likely to have it when a recipe calls for it!

So my mom died when i was 14. Prior to her death she loved to cook and was working on a cook book. Every year for my birthday she would make my a chocolate cake from scratch and a frosting from scratch. I found the chocolate cake recipe years and years ago but never the frosting. All i remember from being a child is that the frosting had coffee in it. My mom loved Julia Child, so now as im watching this, the frosting looks so familiar to me, and am really starting to think she probably used Julia's frosting recipe. Because over the years Ive tried different frosting methods with coffee and powdered sugar and they never tasted right, but never did i try one that was just coffee and butter. Honestly if there wasnt a blizzard outside my window atm I'd run to the grocery store and get all the ingredients to make this frosting lol... But if it turns out to be my moms, Emmy I owe you so much for doing this video.
