directions

- Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into cake batter. Pour the batter into two greased 9-inch cake pans. Bake 25-30 minutes.
- For the frosting: Cut tomato in half and place into blender. Blend until smooth. Strain through a sieve and reserve 4 1/2 tablespoons of sieved puree.
- Beat the butter in a large bowl until light. Add the egg yolks, one at a time. Add the strained tomato puree and the cognac. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar.
- Spread the icing over the bottom layer, the sides and the tops of the cake after they cool. Keep the place in a cool dry place.
