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.
