vanilla, or a combination of almond and vanilla. Large Mocha Cakes are baked in two round
layer cake tins, each cake being cut in two layers. Layers are put together as small cakes. The
top is spread smoothly with frosting, then ornamented with large pieces of candied fruits
arranged in a design, and frosting forced through pastry bag and tube.
