Pink-and-silver Cake

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the batter as directed in the previous recipe.

  2. Take out ½ cup of batter and stir in enough powdered cochineal moistened with rose-water to achieve a pretty pink color.

  3. In the mold, drop a teaspoonful of the pink batter here and there, spreading slightly with the tip of a spoon to blend it with the surrounding batter.
