In my family, this tends to be used as a birthday cake but any occasion is reason enough to try it. Typically we do not make it using the full amount of red food coloring. If you choose to cut back on the red food coloring you will need to add water for the amount of red food coloring you don’t use (so if you use one ounce of coloring you will still need to add one ounce of water).
