Dedication
Lyme Ambulance
Forty years ago, Lyme relied on a doctor who made house
calls to treat an emergency, or an ambulance might be called
up from Old Lyme, with considerable delay. In 1975, while
serving his second term as First Selectman, John Yeomans
envisioned the need for a hometown ambulance unit that
could respond more rapidly. John was able to secure
generous donations, non-profit designation, and enough
volunteers to make his idea a reality. The Lyme Ambulance
Association, Inc. was officially founded and registered as a
non-profit corporation with the state on July 8th of that same
year. By the summer of 1976, they were ready to go: an
ambulance was stationed in Hadlyme, volunteers had been
trained, a dispatch system was in place, and contributions
began coming in to sustain the service.
Lyme Ambulance Association remains one of New England’s
few remaining “no-cost to the patient” emergency and basic
care ambulance services. For forty years, it has remained an
independent, all-volunteer organization, sustained by the
generosity and vision of the Lyme community.
State-certified crew members are on call day and night,
providing aid not only to Lyme residents, but sometimes to
neighboring towns. Lyme Ambulance is always present at
fire calls, joins the Lyme Fire Company for some training
events, provides “Friends and Family” CPR classes, and offers
standby coverage for a number of community events, most
notably the Hamburg Fair. More information is available at
www.lymeambulance.org.
Just as the Hamburg Fair exemplifies the commitment
of Lyme to preserving its agricultural heritage, the Lyme
Ambulance Association exemplifies the community vision and
volunteer spirit unique to Lyme’s small town quality of life.

Chocolate Cake
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans, line
the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper, grease the parchment, then
flour the insides of the pans, tapping out excess; set aside.
2.In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder,
baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together
the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla.
3.Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes on
medium speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix for an
additional 20 seconds (the batter will be very thin).
4.Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans. Bake for 20 minutes and
rotate the pans in the oven. Continue to bake until a toothpick inserted
into the center of one of the cakes comes out almost clean (with a few
moist crumbs), about 12 more minutes. Cool the cakes (in the pans)
on wire racks for 20 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto cooling
racks to cool completely.
Toasted Marshmallow Filling
1.Place the marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and
sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place on the lowest rack of oven,
and broil marshmallows until nice and brown on top, keeping an eye
on them the entire time so they do not burn. Remove pan from oven
and gently turn the marshmallows over, and broil until the other side is
golden brown.
2.Beat the butter and powdered sugar on low speed until blended together, about
1 minute. Add the vanilla extract and increase the speed to medium-high;
beat for 3 minutes. Stop the mixer, add the Marshmallow Fluff and toasted
marshmallows, and mix on the lowest speed for about 1 minute, scraping the
sides of the bowl as necessary.
Malted Chocolate Frosting
1.Beat the butter and powdered sugar on low speed until blended together, about 1
minute.
2.Add the Ovaltine, vanilla and salt, and continue to beat on low until well
combined, about 1 to 2 minutes.
3.Add the melted chocolate and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 2
minutes.
4.Add the heavy cream and beat on medium-high speed for another minute.
Cake Assembly
1.Slice each cake layer in half horizontally so you have six cake layers.
2. Place your first layer face-up on a foil-covered cardboard* and cover with onethird of the Toasted Marshmallow Frosting.
34
3.Place another cake layer face-up and cover with about 3/4 to 1 cup of Malted
Chocolate Frosting.
4.Repeat, alternating marshmallow and chocolate filling layers, until you come to
your final layer, which you will place face-down.
5.Frost the entire outside of cake with the remaining Malted Chocolate Frosting.
*Foil-covered cardboard should be no more than one inch from edge of cake.

temperature, about 30 minutes.
3.Roll out the chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick. Using a round 4 1/2 inch
cutter, cut 8 discs from the dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary. Transfer
the discs to prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4.Remove the dough discs from the refrigerator. Place 1 tablespoon of the
filling in the center of each disc. Lightly brush water around the edge of
half of the disc, and then fold the other half over the filling to create a
half-circle. Seal and add a decorative border by pressing the edges of the
dough together with a fork.
5.Brush them with egg wash. Using a paring knife cut a few steam vents
into the top of each pie.
6.Bake until filling is bubbly and thick and the crust is golden brown, 2025 minutes.* Remove from the oven and place them on a cooling rack.
Let cool completely.
