Wendy, it's a cream cheese frosting. I'll go look one up for ya.

Carla

I sent you one through GW mail

Thanks, Carla.

Isn't it basically a chocolate cake with red food coloring?

yes, red food coloring & cream cheese frosting.

I used to think they tasted better than plain chocolate with cream cheese frosting, but I don't know why I thought so.

They are beautiful cakes, though.

I made this for a "foodie" picnic last Fall. It reminded me of a cake my mother made at one time. No cream cheese in the frosting (although I have done that). An exceptional cake, if I do say so myself.

Hi Barb! Nice to see you here. I'll have to take a look at your cake recipe, the Limoncello was easy after your help.

Hey, Carla! Glad to be of help. My public project went into a hiatus last year, after the Parks Dept. didn't budget for putting a water source in. Figured it out and am going ahead this Spring with trying to finish the project. I was too depressed about the whole thing to read much here.

As far as that cake recipe is concerned: double the frosting. Really.
