Battenburg has been my recent baking obsession. I saw the recipe on the Hairy Bikers: Mum's Know Best programme a few weeks back and have made 2 or 3 since. It must be that geordie charm ;)
Hairy Biker Battenburg.....mmmmm. |
This time though, I decided to try something a bit different. . . .
You guessed it.
The colours are disgusting, the mixture looked a bit like acrylic paint (and with all that food colouring, it probably tasted like it too) and the blue and green sponge looked a bit like mould. So yes, this cake may be a monster, but I sure did have fun making it!
Crime against cake |
I also looked up battenburg on wikipedia (as you do) and found out a bit about the cake's 'history'. Apparently, the cake was made in honour of the marriage of Queen Victoria's granddaughter and Prince Louis of Battenberg in 1884. Little did they know that over 100 years later, I'd be making this monster!
