I knew I'd love Battenberg cake before I even tasted one because it's covered in one of my all-time favorite foods, marzipan! Marzipan is made of almonds and sugar and it has a dough-like consistency, sort of similar to fondant, so it's great for covering cakes. The Battenberg cake originated in England and is traditionally made in a checkerboard shape, with the cakes glued together by jam. There's no frosting on a Battenberg cake but the marzipan locks in loads of moisture and contributes such delightful sweetness and texture that you just don't miss it.
