Alongside the queen celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this year (meaning it’s the perfect time to brush up on your traditional British bakes), we were also celebrating Battenberg Day this week, so it makes sense to have a go at a traditional Battenberg Cake here in the Kenwood Kids Club too.
This traditional chequerboard cake wrapped in marzipan is easier to achieve than you think, but it never fails to look super impressive. Why not whip one up to enjoy with your family and friends, or even to take along to your community’s Platinum Jubilee street party?
In this week’s video, Rob will show you how to bake the essential Battenberg pink and yellow sponges; trim and arrange them to create the signature Battenberg chequerboard effect; and how to wrap them in delicious marzipan to create the perfect finish!
