1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
Filling
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
rind of 2 lemons
Beat 4 egg whites till frothy. Add 1/4 t cream of tartar. Beat very stiff. Add 1 cup sugar slowly. Bake in 9” pie plate for 1 hour at 275 overn. Just pour into pie plate even. It’s real funny but when you take pie from oven and cool on a rack it cracks and settles in center. After it’s cool, spread following over—- Beat 4 egg yolks till thick. Add 1/2 cup sugar slowly. Add 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and rind of two 2 lemons. Cook over hot water till VERY thick. (You cut down thru it, it separates. Spread over cool pie. Whipped cream over this. Its fun to make and absolutely delicious.

For our friend Steve Wong… His “cap” photo.
And Happy Birthday Sirena – seen here in Steve’s Cap, Daniel’s glasses and Patrick Dredden’s dress…
Just joking PD… we know being a woman is more than just a state of mind.
All humor aside, Sirena, PD and I go back to the California Days and I am very fortunate for having them in my life in Dallas, HK, and California. When you find something that works, keep it close, always.

The Cake is just the vehicle……
New introduction….”Shirley” – aka my Mom and Mimi’s daughter.
I had known Wednesday was Sirena’s birthday and thought it would be fun to celebrate with a real cake. So I called “Shirley”…. and asked for the Maryann’s cake recipe. At the time, I didn’t know it was Maryann’s cake and even now I have absolutely no idea who Maryann might be. The only thing I remember is that this cake was the birthday cake my Mom made for me for nearly every one of my birthday’s growing up.
At first, she had simply recommended that I make the cake using Duncan Hine’s chocolate cake mix. She was immediately admonished for not getting into the spirit of Project Mimi and to atone for her mistake, she had to go find the recipe and send it via email. Which of course she did, otherwise there would have been no cake.
Funny, but I had forgotten how time consuming the icing is to make for this cake. It is beaten by hand for about 3 minutes until thick. I had memories of many a night making fudge for a chocolate fix. My mother’s pantry is always full of whatever one could possibly need and late night fudge was one of the best treats.
At the end of the evening the cake went home with someone. And no doubt with much of the icing eaten from the top as all of us picked at it as we did the dishes (with the exception of Patrick Dredden… IT ISNT NORMAL NOT TO LIKE SWEETS).
Lastly, a comment on the “points”… PC was fascinated by the points on the cake- the result of which come from a very cool bundt pan from William’s and Sonoma.
Thanks to Shirley for digging out the recipe that inspired so many memories – especially in that tiny tv room that only sat 4 people….

Mary Ann’s Cake
1 egg
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sour milk *
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup hot water
In a greased tube pan bake at 350 about 30 minutes… This is a smallish cake… Note: to make sour milk, pour milk into cup and add about 1T vinegar and let sit awhile to sour.
Fudge Icing
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
3 T butter
1 square chocolate
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Stir until the butter melts. Bring to a boil and boil 1 1/2 minutes- 2 minutes. Add vanilla and beat. Note… this is just like fudge. Beat it until it loses its gloss and watch it as it will turn in a hurry and get too hard. Tricky.
