*The fact that you are using a raw egg yolk in the uncooked frosting lets you know how old this recipe is. Nowadays the food police won't let you do that. But I've made and eaten this recipe for years and not one person has complained of samonella poisoning. If you have a fear of raw eggs, I'm sure you can make the frosting without it.
