Marble cake and red frosting
ok so I am having a hell of a time making a 1/2 sheet marble cake. I tried one of the recipes in the cake bible and it came out mighty tasty, but also mighty dry. Definately didn’t care for that, so now I am on a hunt to find a new marble cake recipe, that tastes good, is moist, and can fit in a 12 x 18 pan (as one layer). On top of that, I need to make an elmo on the top of this cake and since mousseline is the best frosting ever, I planned on using that, and making it red with the wilton “red red” gel color in the little jar. Now I am being told that mousseline won’t turn a true red! Again, I am at a loss. What can I do to make a moist marble cake with an “elmo red” frosting that is stiff enough to make fur out of?? And tastes good!?!?!
