This is one of my favourite as the love marzipan and with it covering two different checked layers of cake it makes it even more of an treat .. this wonderful battenberg cake is great for an afternoon tea party on a decorative pretty pate just ready to be cut into for that first slice … you just have to have it with a with cup of tea … that is what afternoon tea parties are all about ..
