Finest Wine Cake

Make the snow cake mixture and leave out the milk. Instead of it mix in at the last nearly a small teacupful of madeira wine, with enough either of red strawberry syrup or of drops of carmine to make the cake couleur de rose, but only pale blush or peach bloom, not any dull red or purples for cake. The lemon juice is very necessary here; it changes red to bright pink.
