Battenberg is an all time classic. Notorious for being accompanied with cups (not mugs) of tea and doyleys.

But what if it is a lovely summer’s day, you are sitting with your chums and Godzilla (the neighbour) turns up for a chin wag. Well he’s not exactly going to be impressed with the spread is he? Now I don’t intend on discriminating against people with a larger frame, but he’s going to want more than a mere finger foods. Simple enough to make some tea, a bucket, a dozen tea bags and a few pints milk will have to suffice. But what about some cake, to offer the radioactive reptile none would be down-right rude.

Introducing new Fattenberg. One of Mr. Kipling’s exceedingly fat cakes.

How to make:

Firstly you will need to open your well rusted wallet to buy the ingredients, now don’t be tight, Godzilla is in all sorts of social circles and is known to be a real hoot. You will need to buy:

3lb of butter (I can feel my arteries clogging up)
3lb of caster sugar (how many cups of tea would that do for a brickie? Maybe 3?)
2 Dozen Eggs (the dirty 2 dozen)
16 Cups of self-raising flower (that’s more raising than the lead in a dirty flick)
Raspberry and Vanilla essence (or food colouring for a budget)
A Crap load of marzipan
A Jar of Seedless Raspberry Jam

Now if you do not have an industrial size oven you may have to split this into batches (much like we did). Remember there are 4 segments to the average Battenberg, 2 pink and 2 yellow.

Step 1:

Paste 1½ lb of the butter and 1½ lb of the caster sugar together in a bowl.

Step 2:

Lightly beat 6 eggs together in a bowl. We used a fork but some hard cases might want to use knuckle dusters for the beating.

Step 3:

Mix the eggs into the sugary butter paste.

Ok, at the moment it just looks like scrambled eggs but wait until you see the final product.

Step 4:

Sift the flour into the mix until it turns to a doughy texture.

It looks like a picture taken at a party thrown by a popular model and the lead singer of the band “Babyshambles”. In charades I would say sounds like “Feat Doherty”. But there is really no point in suing me for liable, I have no money.

Step 5:

Spoon the mix into a tray that has been neatly lined with grease proof paper (stops sticking and any nasty surprises). Level off and stick in the oven.

The whole process took about 30 minutes, but after a few attempts we got it down to a fine art and managed it in about 15. Leave on a medium heat for about 1 hr 40 minutes, sit down and watch some cartoons or something, whatever floats your boat).

Once again remember that there will be 2 different colours and we had to make it in 4 batches. To make the total cake it took about 8 Hours including cleanup, we would hire someone for this, but once again, we have no money Pete.

Step 6:

Finally glue separate pieces together using the Jam melted in a pan. Roll out the marzipan and cut to size. Once again use some melted jam to stick it to the sides of the sponge.

Godzilla sends his compliments to the chef, joins us for a natter and tells a rather humours joke about a man, a horse and a bucket of fish. Oh how we laughed …
