vampira'V' Battenburgh cake
This is a fantastic cake if you like almonds, can be a bit fiddly but well worth the effort :)
Ingredient
100 grams
(4oz) margarine
100 grams
(4oz) caster sugar
100 grams
(4oz) self raising flour
2
eggs
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
cream margarine and sugar till light and fluffy.
* Step 2
Beat in eggs one at a time, adding a little flour with each.
* Step 3
grease a 22x18 cm battenburgh tin (or similar sized tin divided in two by greaseproof paper)
* Step 4
Place half of mixture into one half of tin, colour remainder pink and place in the other half. I should have used more pink colouring as It's more yellow than pink.
* Step 5
Bake in a moderate oven 180'C, 350'F for 30-35 minutes.
* Step 6
when cool, cut each piece in 2 lengthways and sandwich together with jam or lemon curd.
* Step 7
you could make your own almond icing, I used a ready made one.
* Step 8
Roll out icing to required size sprinkled with icing sugar(confectionary) sufficiently large to wrap round the whole cake, brush with jam or lemon curd.
* Step 9
wrap the icing round the cake, and turn over with Join underneath trim ends looks better.
* Step 10
Mark a diamond pattern on top and decorate with cherries and angelica (if liked) I couldn't find any so i used decorating leaves instead .
