On Friday, the newest issue of Martha Stewart Living arrived (yes, I am a loyal subscriber...) and I immediately fell in love with this frozen chiffon cake. I think it might possibly be the most beautiful cake I've ever seen--aside from my wedding cake, which will always occupy the #1 spot :)
This cake was inspired by baking recipe pamphlets that reached the height of their popularity in the 50s and 60s. The layers take their colors from pureed fruit (not gelatin, which is what the recipe books would have called for) and the whole thing is served cold, straight from the icebox, covered with a generous layer of Seven Minute Frosting.
I need to make this cake! Maybe for next book club...
