Directions

  1. Prepare the white cake batter and double the quantity.

  2. Divide the white batter in half and add a small amount of cochineal to one half to create a delicate pink color.

  3. Bake the white, dark, and pink batters in jelly-cake tins.

  4. Layer the cakes starting with the white, then the dark, and finally the pink on top.

  5. Spread frosting between each layer and frost the top once the cake is cool.
