LEBattenberg Cake
Anyone would love this chequered cake which has a rich history and amazing taste and is a staple at the British afternoon tea. Let the looks not intimidate you, as it’s an easy cake to put together. Detailed recipe as follows,
¾ cup Caster sugar
1¼ cup All-purpose flour
½ cup Almond flour
2¼ tsp Baking powder
3 nos Eggs room temperature
¾ cup Butter room temperature
½ tsp Vanilla extract
3 drops Pink food colour gel
⅓ cup Apricot jam
250 gms Marzipan
To make the cake batter, sieve the dry ingredients together. In a mixing bowl mix egg, butter and vanilla extract together. Add the dry ingredients into it. With a beater mix the batter till its well combined and smooth. The batter will be a thick one.Divide the batter equally. To one half of the batter add the pink food colouring and mix well. I used a bread tin to bake the cakes. Place the tin in the centre rack of an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for 25-30 minutes till the cake is well baked.You have two cake, a yellow and pink one. Trim them to get 4 long square cakes like in the video. Stick the cake sponges with apricot jam. Roll out the marzipan and stick it on the sponges with apricot jam.
