Ribbon Cake
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the white cake batter and double the quantity.
Divide the white batter in half and add a little cochineal to one half to create a delicate pink color.
Bake the white, dark, and pink batters in jelly-cake tins.
Layer the cakes starting with the white, then the dark, and finally the pink on top.
Spread frosting between the layers and frost the top when the cake is cool.
