Ingredients
6 Egg Yolks
4 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
4 tbsp Whole Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Cornstarch
6 Egg Whites
1/2 tsp Vinegar
4 tbsp Sugar
Food Dye Gel (not liquid)
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
5 tbsp Confectioners Sugar
Dash of Salt
2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8 inch pan and cut parchment paper to fit. Trace your floral design onto the parchment with an edible marker.
2. Separate eggs. Whisk yolks with sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Sift in flour and cornstarch. Whisk until silky.
4. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add vinegar and sugar gradually. Beat to stiff peaks.
5. Fold egg whites into yolk batter gently until just combined.
6. Tint small portions of batter with food gel. Place each color into a piping bag.
7. Pipe outlines and fill in your design. Refrigerate 5 to 8 minutes.
8. Pipe plain batter over the design to cover. Bake 8 to 9 minutes.
9. Flip cake immediately and peel parchment to reveal design. Bake remaining plain layers.
10. Cool completely. Whip cream with sugar, salt, and vanilla to stiff peaks.
11. Assemble with plain layer on bottom, whipped cream, then designed layer on top. Refrigerate until serving.
Notes
Always use food dye gel, never liquid.
Peel parchment immediately after baking while cake is still hot.
For best results make the day before and refrigerate overnight.
