How Do You Make Battenburg Cake?
This yummy and light sponge cake is a popular treat in England. When you slice open a battenburg cake, the insides result in a “checkerboard” pattern, having alternate pink and yellow colors. • Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F, 200 degrees C, or on gas mark 6. • Make the batter. Add the flour, 3 eggs, white sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Use a whisk to beat everything together until it’s smooth. • Create the “pink” batter. Get another bowl and pour half of the batter into it. Use a drop of pink food coloring in one of the bowls and mix it into that batter bowl. • Use extra butter or grease to grease the cake tin. Make a “barrier” with the aluminum foil by using a thick layer of it and then placing it down the middle of the pan so that it divides the tin into two equal parts. • Pour the colored batter into one side of the tin and pour the non-colored batter into the other side. • Bake the cake for 25 to 30 minutes or until it feels “springy”. Set it aside for it to cool.
