    The document discusses the traditional British Battenberg cake. It is a light sponge cake held together with apricot jam and covered in marzipan. Bakers construct it by baking separate yellow and pink sponge cakes and cutting them into a checkered pattern which is then held together with jam. One theory is that the cake originated from the 1884 marriage of Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of Battenberg and the checkered emergency vehicle markings in the UK are also named after the cake's pattern.

    Battenberg Cake

    B
    attenberg or Battenburg is a light sponge cake held together with jam.
    This cake comes from the UK, though its origins aren't all that clear. One
    theory of the cake's origin is that it was created in honor of the marriage
    of Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of Battenberg in 1884.

    Bakers construct Battenberg cakes by baking yellow and pink sponge-cakes


    separately, and then cutting and combining the pieces in a chequered pattern.
    The cake is held together by apricot jam and covered with marzipan. The large
    chequered patterns on emergency vehicles in the UK are officially referred to
    as Battenburg markings because of their resemblance to the cake.
