-approximate Gateaux Jos. Louis Home-made versions of this best selling commercial snacking cake turn up in recipe collections throughout the Beauce. A product of the giant Vachon bakery at St. Marie, it was launched by founder-bakers Arcade and Rose-Anna Vachon who named it for their eldest two sons Joseph and Louis and not, as some believe , after the heavyweight boxing champion, Joe Louis. Home recipes use a drop-cookie method and ~sometimes- a marshmallow filling. The baking cake is made automatically with a diameter of 3 1/2 inches (9 cm). To achieve a symmetrical look and a light texture, I adapted a recipe belonging to Mariette Scully Bourque of Notre Dame des Pins to the muffin tin. CAKE: Grease 12 medium muffin tins or 24 small ones. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Measure milk into a 1 cup measure and stir in vinegar, then baking soda. In another bowl, sift or mix together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Combine dry ingredients with butter mixture with milk; stir in vanilla. Fill prepared muffin tins half full of batter. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 10 minutes or until a tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan. Turn out onto rack and cool completely. VANILLA FILLING: In top of a double boiler, set over boiling water, combine egg whites, granulated sugar, salt and water. With an electric mixer, beat until stiff and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and beat in vanilla. CHOCOLATE ICING: Cream soft butter with cocoa powder. Blend in cream and vanilla. Stir in sifted icing (confectioner's) sugar until icing is of spreading consistency. Slice cakes in half horizontally. Fill with Vanilla Filling and spread tops and sides with Chocolate Icing.

This week's vocab:
Baking powder - La poudre à pâte
Tablespoon - La cuillerée à soupe
Teaspoon - La cuillère à thé
Buttercream - La crème au beurre
To bake - Cuire
These are my mother’s, Agnès Bourgeois Boucher, recipes.
Cake:
⅔ Cup Shortening
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
4 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
⅔ Cup Milk
-Preheat the oven to 350F & prepare cake pan. For making the May West, I use a 13.5”x19” cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
-Cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
-Beat the eggs and add to the shortening mixture, incorporate fully.
-In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
-Sift the flour mixture into the shortening mixture in 3 additions. Mix well between additions so it’s smooth.
For May West:
-Pour the batter into the prepared cookie sheet and spread evenly
-Put into a preheated 350F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until it is cooked through.
Butter Cream:
½ cup room temperature Butter
Splash Vanilla
2 cups Powdered sugar
2 to 3 tbsp Milk
-Cream butter until light and fluffy
-Add the vanilla
-Sift the sugar into the butter in 3 additions. Mix well between additions so it’s smooth.
-Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until it has the desired consistency.
Chocolate covering:
-Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for the covering.
-Melt the chocolate. The quantity will depend on how many May West you make. I made 6 large (3.5” round) so I used about 6 cups of chips.
-Make sure to control the heat so the chocolate does not burn.
Building the May West:
-Spread icing on top of 1 cake round then cover with another.
-Put in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes.
-Cover with chocolate. I dipped the sides 1st then covered the top using a spatula.
-Put into the freezer for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
-Cover the remaining side with chocolate.
-Let the May West set before eating.
Enjoy!
