Hi it's called Battenburg Cake (My nan used to call it Angel Cake)....
225g (8oz) Almond Paste
110g (4oz) Butter, softened
110g (4oz) Caster Sugar
110g (4oz) Self Raising Flour
50g (2oz) Ground Rice
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
3-4 tbsp Apricot Jam
陆 tsp Baking Powder
Almond Essence
Red Food Colouring
Pre-heat oven to 170掳C: 325掳F: Gas 3.
Grease and line an 18 cm (7 inch) shallow square baking tin with buttered greaseproof paper.
Whisk together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add the beaten eggs gradually with a little of the flour.
Fold in the remaining sieved flour, ground rice, flour, baking powder and a few drops of almond essence.
Spoon half the mixture into one half of the prepared baking tin.
Use a strip of buttered greaseproof paper to create a barrier.
Add a few drops of the red food colouring to the remaining mixture to turn it a rich pink colour.
Spoon into the other half of the tin, smoothing the surface.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until well risen and is springy to the touch and has shrunk slightly in the tin.
Turn out and cool on a wire rack.
When cool, trim the edges and cut lengthwise into four equal parts.
Place the jam into a saucepan and heat gently to melt.
Brush a the portions of cake with the jam to stick them together, to form a chequerboard effect.
Roll out the almond paste into a rectangle, long enough to wrap around the cake.
Brush the outside of the cake with jam.
Press the almond paste around the cake, dampening the edges lightly to form a neat join at one of the corners of the cake.
Hope this is what your looking for....I don't know the name of the cake, but it's a two layer pink and white cake I need the recipe?
I think its called Pink Champagne Cake. Pink because of this tint from read food coloring. Here is the recipe:
1 Duncan Hines White Cake mix
(must be Duncan Hines as it works best)
Champagne
Red food coloring
Raspberry or strawberry pure锟絜 or jam
Prepare cake mix as per instructions on box, substituting champagne for 3/4 of the liquid called for on the mix. Tint with red food coloring to soft pink. Bake in round cake pans according to mix instructions.
Fill with strawberry or raspberry pure or jam between layers and frost with your favorite butter cream icing, adding up to 3 tablespoons champagne for part of the liquid called for. Tint the frosting pink, if desired.
Hope this is helpful.
