Battenberg cake

Battenberg or Battenburg cake is a light sponge cake with variously coloured sections held together with jam and covered in marzipan. In cross section, the cake has a distinctive pink and yellow check pattern. It originated in England. The chequered patterns on British emergency vehicles are officially referred to as Battenburg markings because of their resemblance to the cake. Bakers construct Battenberg cakes by baking yellow and pink almond sponge-cakes separately, then cutting and combining the pieces in a chequered pattern. The cake is held together by jam and covered with marzipan.
