What tube/numpty/silly girl makes her first battenberg on a fast day and really really intends not to eat it?
Ach well, it was a good 24 hour fast followed by a 1 hour eating window
and it was goooooooood

Had never heard of Battenburg cake, Googled it and now I am a bit jealous as it looks delicious. I have chocolate cake drizzled with caramel sitting on the kitchen counter, am going to try and resist for at least another hour:)

I adore battle burg cake so I empathise with your problem Janeg

only much much more marzipan!
and raspberry jam of the homemade variety
mine looks a bit chunkier , less refined , and the cake is heftier. I'm no baker!

Yes that battenburg looks rather genteel for a faster

So did you eat it ALL in ONE HOUR?
