Ingredients
- Sponge cake batter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- Currant or cranberry jelly (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- White icing (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- Dark chocolate icing (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Make a sponge cake batter and bake it in long, not too large, tins. The batter should not exceed the depth of one-fourth of an inch. Line the tins with buttered paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
- 2As each cake is taken from the oven, turn it upside down on a clean board or paper. Spread a thin layer of currant or cranberry jelly on one cake. Lay the other cake on top. Cut into strips like dominoes using a hot, sharp knife. Space the strips about an inch apart.
- 3Ice the dominoes with ordinary white icing, putting a tablespoonful on each piece. The heat of the cake will soften the icing, and with a little assistance, the edges and sides may be smoothly covered. Set the cakes in a warm place to dry the frosting. Make a horn of stiff white paper with a small opening at the lower end. Put in one spoon of dark chocolate icing and close the horn at the top. Draw a line of chocolate icing across the center of each cake and make dots like those on dominoes.
