Battenberg Cake YUM

I have never heard of a Battenberg Cake, have you?


I think the green icing is marzipan. Double YUM.
I have seen photos of this cake with each square being a different color or two colors arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Plain white cake is fine with me.

Do you think it's jam between the four squares of the cake? My daughter loves marzipan and would go for that cake in a big way!

Mama Pea -- Yes, that's jam between the layers. Here's a recipe:

I just read a book where Battenberg Cake was mentioned and I didn't really know what it looked like, now I do. I love marzipan although I really shouldn't eat it now. This cake looks like it was prepared with Christmas in mind.

I received a comment that I can't publish as written because I don't allow Anonymous or Unknown comments but here it is:

My (the commenter's) son bakes a good Batternburg cake, using two colours for the sponge. There are some good Batternburg cake recepies on the BBC food website.
