Fold into egg mixture. Bake in greased, waxed paper-lined jelly roll
pan. Press down dough to fit the size of the pan; then bake at 350
degrees for 12 minutes. Remove cake from pan. Peel off paper carefully,
trim crusts from the cake and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer. Layering
cake: it is best to work with chilled or frozen cake and pan. Cut cake
to fit into a bread or loaf pan ( a metal one with straight sides is
best). There should be 3 layers. Place a generous layer of lime sherbet
(1/2 inch thick) on the bottom layer of cake. Then place another layer
of cake on top of the sherbet. Add rainbow sherbet in a layer 1/2 inch
thick. Place the third layer of cake on top. The top of the cake may be
covered with whipping cream or a reasonable substitute. Freeze until
firm. To serve, slice cake 1 1/2 inches thick and garnish with mint.
