Battenberg cake recipe without a Battenberg tin | First time making a Battenberg cake :)

[@HeyBoz-04]

I would so totally make this, but my poor wife is allergic to nuts. :0(

[@WhatsForTea]

Hi Alex :) You could substitute the almond extract for vanilla extract, leave out the ground almonds and use a fondant to cover the outside instead of the marzipan...it would have a completely different flavour though x

[@HeyBoz-04]

@@WhatsForTea Thanks for the suggestion! I will give it a try now!

[@usmale4915]

I am also allergic to nuts. Perhaps there is a substitute for the almonds? Any ideas anyone? Thank you!

[@tessasilberbauer6219]

@@usmale4915 chickpeas? They're a pulse not a nut, and they make amazing fudge so why not cake?

[@floraldays1865]

Beautiful looking cake and countryside!

[@leighlitz2481]

My favorite memories of living in Scotland is definitely the brilliant baking. My Auntie always splurged in the kitchen baking. Can’t wait to get home to the brilliant food. Thanks Cheryl for spoiling my tastebuds without damaging my waistline lol.

[@MissieMommy518]

Cheryl, this looks so tasty. In my house, those off cuts/trimmings would have been gone before the cake was even assembled. Yummy!!! I would have thought Mr. What's for Tea or the girls would help you with the dilemma of what to do with them..... SNACK TIME!!!!!! Hope all is well for you and yours.

[@itzAurora_Xoxo]

This reminds me of my childhood, loved marzipan too, I have to try this !! Love your channel ,from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@sarahvernon1587]

I shall be definitely be trying this because my husband is now gluten free and hasn’t had a battenberg cake for several years and he really misses it. So now I know how I can make one and I can just change the flour to gluten free. Thank you Cheryl xx

Looks fantastic! Well done you! X

[@2H80vids]

One of my favourite indulgences Cheryl and I've never actually seen one made. You made it look pretty straightforward and the end result looked completely professional. My only 𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 criticism would be just that. If I went to all that trouble, I'd want it to *look* homemade.😁

[@WhatsForTea]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Thank you! :)

[@MrsCheetah1]

Well done Cheryl!!! I love battenburg cake.

[@dannysroadshow]

Hello from TN 🇺🇸! I enjoy very much your videos! My favorite part about this video i have to say was the footage of the countryside at the end. Your country is beautiful!

[@WhatsForTea]

Ah thank you Danny :) Yes isn't it just! I feel very blessed x

[@jillybean5159]

Suddenly my local supermarkets have stopped stocking Mr K's Battenbergs so looks like I'm going to have to try this asap. My biggest problem will be stopping myself from pigging out on all the marzipan offcuts - that's the whole point of Battenbergs and I adore marzipan!! Hope mine turns out like yours, Cheryl, it's brilliant!!

[@juneroberts5305]

That is one seriously professional looking Battenberg! 👀 Well done, it turned out magnificently! 💙

[@josmith4173]

Wow! That looks great! Well done you!! Loving your manicure 💅🏻😘

Aw thanks Jo :) Hope you're keeping well x

[@Terri_MacKay]

I love Battenberg cake. We used to have a M&S in our city, and I could buy them, and lots of other British goodies, there. It closed years ago, and there is absolutely nowhere to get Battenberg anymore. I can get Tunnock Teacakes at the Scottish shop near us, and there's a man, with a fantastic stall at our local farmers market, who sells homemade sausage rolls, meat pies, Scottish pies, and Cornish pasties. There's even a candy store that sells lots of British candies, biscuits, and treats. But no Battenberg to be found anywhere. 😥

[@barbkafilmout9449]

For the millionth time, I absolutely love your countryside. I’ve never heard of this cake but I am sure going to try it thank you!

[@janetteryan3460]

Great job! Very impressive!

Look out Mr Kipling, there's a new baker in town. Hope the off cuts did not go to waste. Top work Cheryl,take a bow. Tea's up. 😋

Thanks for showing this, it looks and sounds so good.

[@Jasmine-Jeane-H]

It turned out beautifully ! Thanks for the vid, I want to try this and I think I have everything I need on hand.

[@coraramage9100]

Looks amazing. No one would know thats a first attempt. I actually have a Mr Kipling one in the kitchen but I bet yours tastes better, it will be fresher and no preservatives. Well done hen 👍

[@juliaparks6652]

Looks so professional. What willpower you have not having any!!

[@PinkTigger33]

That turned our so beautiful and it looked delicious. The color on this could be changed too for a gender reveal party or someone's favorite color for a celebration or to match a wedding color, etc. This looks so fancy. Perfect for a party! When we finally get past this pandemic and can actually have parties again.

[@alleycatwa]

That Battenberg cake looks so yummy. Its one thing i miss from living in the UK.

[@michellem5801]

Really well done! I love that you say "the brown" bits where chefs would say the "caramelisation".... nothing better than a good home bake.

[@homehearthwithjules8596]

Cheryl...this looks positively elegant and delicious!!!🤗😁😋♥️💪👊😉

Lovely cake! What a beautiful job you did creating this .. well done! xx

Wow absolutely perfect....would try this but hubby doesn't like almonds so would need to eat it all myself🙈

[@jwillisbarrie]

From "Eating Royally", Darren McGrady - Of course the Queen was not the only person who liked teatime. Most members of the royal family liked a good afternoon tea. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, loved elaborate afternoon teas. She had an office in Buckingham Palace and regularly held teas for twelve or more. In addition to the regular tea provisions, she would add several more cakes and sausage rolls. She loved Battenburg Cake and I once sent up an absolutely perfect Battenburg Cake that I had made for her tea. It was returned uneaten with instructions not to serve her “store-bought” tea cakes again. A bit of a backhanded compliment I suppose! Oh well, the chefs enjoyed it.

Do you have publix where you are? They make amazing petit fours!

[@PearTreePictures1950]

Marzipan sounds like the almond candy we bought at our local Mexican restaurant. It was good stuff.

[@debramage739]

Love it Cheryl but the almond/marizpan sorry tried to like it, too old now. Loved watching the vid.

[@geoffdundee]

instead of pink and white..........you can do an orange and green for the kids at Halloween (i give them brussel sprouts coated in chocolate - LOL) .........wilton gel colours are the best and if youre ever doing a red velvet then buy sugarflair extra red - its the best on the market........i do sugarcraft as a hobby and will try my hand making anything.

Looks great! You deserved a wee taste though,

[@martywithceleste4444]

Hello ma'am, we enjoy your videos very much! As for this cake, you stated it was "very British"; well, it is not British, it is actually from Germany.

[@just-a-working-male]

I'm just thinking what other two or four different batter flavours you could us in a battenburg style cake

[@kaprica.1]

droolin’ also, i’ve been spelling it wrong my whole life !! ( burg instead of berg )

[@artmallory970]

'burg' would likely be the original german way of spelling, 'berg' anglicized, neither wrong

[@merika206]

What’s a short board?

[@alanj1635]

Looks too good to eat but I would of mixed it up a bit and used blue colour instead on red :-)

Hello from America. Growing up with my grandparents we had breakfast before school, lunch around noon, and when I came home from school my grandmother and I had tea. Then somewhere around 7 o’clock in the evening we would have dinner. I read that Queen Elizabeth has breakfast at 8 o’clock in the morning, lunch at 12 o’clock noon, tea at 5 o’clock, and dinner at 8 o’clock. This is very similar to the way I grew up however I have watched a number of British television shows and when they refer to tea it sounds to me like they’re referring to their dinner. Can you please help me to understand this?

[@margaretmccullough4457]

TheRenaissanceman65 This Has to be the most satisfying answer I have ever received. You have no idea how grateful I am to you for taking the time to explain this to me as it has always been a source of confusion. As an example, in America high tea refers to a sort of fancy, formal, upper class affair. But I read that the original meaning of high tea came from Pub owners Who used tall tables for the minors to stand at when they ate their meal ( tea ) . Whether that is actually true or not I find the explanation extremely amusing. Anyway thank you so much again for taking the time to explain this to me. Best wishes to you and your family and may God bless you and yours, MM

What a fantastic Battenberg recipe!! 😊 Liked and subscribed! 👍💗 Looking forward to seeing more great recipe videos from you! 😊

[@rheac953]

This turned out so well! I’m very fond of almond flavor. I’d listen to you just to hear your lovely accent. I’m from Texas. Our baking claim to fame is a simple Texas sheet cake. I thought it was only chocolate, but recently found a white version that uses almond extract for flavor. I made a 1/4 version, and was happy with it. When it cools off ( another month) I may try your Battenberg. If I don’t find the marzipan, I’ll frost it with almond cream cheese frosting. Not authentic, but delicious.

[@patriciaking2865]

Looks amazing

[@sassafras_smith]

Very clever with the baking tin! I have to say I wouldn’t go for something that looked like this in the shop, but if you served me this cake I would eat it in a heart beat. Yours looked so tender and fluffy compared to the shop one. Great job.
