Another Pretty Cake

Ingredients

• two tablespoons of chocolate
• three layers
• two thin ones
• one cake

Directions

1. Bake white cake in three layers, with pink frosting. Cut it in small squares of about two inches and alternate it in the basket with chocolate cake made as follows:

2. Bake the above gold cake in corresponding thin layers. Scrape fine two tablespoons of chocolate; put it into a tin cup and pour over it just enough hot water to dissolve it into a cream, setting it on the stove for a moment. Stir this into the frosting, making it just a pretty shade of brown. Cut this cake into diamonds. I always bake my thin cakes in square tin pans. Half the receipt for gold cake makes two thin ones. The white of one ^^'g is enough for one cake. The amount of chocolate given is intended for two.
