Gold and Silver Cake
Ingredients
Directions
Divide the silver cake batter into portions.
Color one portion pink with a little cochineal.
Layer the pink, white, and yellow batters in a baking dish.
Frost the top of the cake.
Assemble like a marble cake, alternating spoonfuls of each batter until the dish is full.
