Battenburg Cakes
As an extra-special touch, tie each small cake square with a length of pretty ribbon.
INGREDIENTS
150g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
150g unrefined caster sugar
3 free-range eggs, beaten
150g self-raising flour
2 tbsp milk
Pink food colouring
Icing sugar, for dusting
50g apricot jam
Marzipan
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200C. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the beaten eggs a little at a time, adding a small amount of the flour if the mix looks a little curdled. Fold in the flour then add the milk and mix until smooth. Pour half of the cake mixture into another bowl. Add a drop of pink food colouring to one of the bowls and stir well. Grease and base-line a 15cm/6in square cake tin. Fold a 15cm/6in square of foil into a thick strip, grease it and place down the middle of the tin to divide it into 2. Carefully spoon the pink cake mix into one side and the plain mix into the other.

Lightly dust a work surface with icing sugar and roll the marzipan into a 23cm x 23cm/9in x 9in rectangle. Trim the cakes to the same size then cut each in half lengthways. Gently heat the apricot jam in a pan until it becomes runny.
Place a piece of the pink cake on a work surface and brush one side with jam. Lay a plain piece next to it on the jam side and push together. Brush the tops with more jam then top the plain piece with a pink piece and vice versa. Brush the outside edges of the cake with more jam. Cut the rolled marzipan so that it is slightly longer than the cake. Carefully wrap and press it around the cake, brushing the edges with a little jam to seal them. Trim off the excess marzipan at the ends. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving or presenting as a gift cut into small squares.

Brush the tops with more jam then top the plain piece with a pink piece and vice versa. Brush the outside edges of the cake with more jam. Cut the rolled marzipan so that it is slightly longer than the cake. Carefully wrap and press it around the cake, brushing the edges with a little jam to seal them. Trim off the excess marzipan at the ends. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving or presenting as a gift cut into small squares.
