For the last 10 years of my 13 year life I have eaten Battenberg cake whenever I could, so the choice of what to pimp was easy. Convincing my mum to buy the ingredients and help with the washing up was not so easy.

The ingredients were as follows:

1lb flour
1lb sugar
1lb stork
16 eggs
1 bottle of both red and yellow food colour (sent my dog hyper when she ate the cake)
2 box’s marzipan ( 1 for cake 1 for me)

Approx cost £11.00

Mixed half the ingredients with red colouring, (Whole bottle).

Baked for 1.5 hours, plenty of time to wash up the mixer for the yellow cake.
