  1. Mix all the ingredients with a spatula, just enough to mix well.
  2. Put the dough in a sac- a poche, let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  3. On a baking tray make cookies squeezing dough, keep space between them as they grow on the oven. Sprile sugar confetti on them if you like. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 320°F, they just have to gold on borders, they will remain pale as they don't contain eggs.
  4. They will be very soft right out of the oven, wait untill cold before removing them from the baking tray.

  1. Preheat oven at 350°F. Put sugar and butter in a bowl and beat together untill fluffy
  2. Beat in eggs one at time, vanilla, red colouring and salt plus half the flour, sifted. Add remaining flour, cocoa powder, baking powder sifted together then give a last beat to mix everything.
  3. Pour into greased tin and bake for 1 hour/ 1 hour and 15, cake is ready when firm in the centre.
  4. For the icing: beat together butter and icing sugar untill fluffly, beat in cream cheese and beat again.
  5. Cut the cake in three layers when it's cold then fill it and cover it with cream cheese icing.
Recipe Notes

You can cover the cake with sugar paste (about 1 3/4 lb for a 9 in cake) but I don't like it and it's also pretty expensive if you don't do it by yourself so I simply cover the cake with frosting.
