Reine de Saba is the moist and fudgy chocolate and almond cake that stars in Julie and Julia. I decided to bake this cake when I had some leftover chocolate buttercream that needed using up. I'd started to mix the cake batter when I realised that the 'Tidy Fairy' had thrown away my buttercream... so from icing and no cake to cake and no icing : ( I almost didn't finish baking it as I didn't have the ingredients to make more chocolate icing but I'm really glad that I did. It wasn't until I baked it that I realised why it was chosen to take centre stage in the film, delicious is an understatement!
Although it doesn't look as spectacular as some this cake is a real showstopper and would make a fabulous dessert for a Valentine's Day dinner. You can find the recipe here... Bon appetit!
