What a beautiful cake!
I thought you migh...Hi CC,<br /><br />What a beautiful cake! <br />I thought you might be interested to know that I have just found a recipe for Rainbow Cake in a little book I bought recently called Meals That Are Different (no meat!)published by Stork Margarine probably in the 60's, pre-decimalization anyway!<br />It consists of a fairly plain cake with the addition of nutmeg and the rind and juice of a lemon. It is then sandwiched together with homemade lemon curd and decorated with 'rainbow' icing. This is plain white icing, then one flavoured and coloured with coffee essence and one flavoured with vanilla and coloured with carmine.<br />As you can probably guess the the two coloured icings are applied on top of the white icing and 'run up and down with a sharp knife'. You are then instructed to add a 'gay paper frill!'<br />Maybe this is the version Jilly was remembering but yours is so much prettier.<br />Lovely the blog, always makes me want to bake.<br />DeborahThis Vintage Life...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02619707256991876126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-450438071880577712012-12-05T12:59:53.384+00:002012-12-05T12:59:53.384+00:00Hi Jo

I devoured all of her Rutshire Chronicles in about a year and am so happy you've featured her favourite cake! She is such a special lady. Her books got me through some really tough times. When I'm stressed out, I just whip out Polo (my favourite) and start reading! <br /><br />Love your blog to bits, by the way.

Unless you make the layers super thin (which I'm fairly sure is illegal) they are always stauesque to say the least; and it is almost a magical moment the first time you cut through the snowy white frosting and reveal the beautiful jeweled layers in between.
