My wife lost an old poppy seed cake recipe in the fire. I've looked at a
lot
of cake recipes and suspect the cake is pretty common but the icing was
unique, it called for several egg yokes and was a definite yellow color.
She
asked if I would query this group to see if anyone had a recipe for an
icing
that uses egg yokes.


Could it be a classic buttercream frosting? Was a boiling syrup added to
the yolks? Was there a lot of butter?
