Christmas Battenberg Cake is on the menu in Cooking Tree, and we are going to teach you how to make this delicious recipe from scratch!

I made a Battenberg cake with a Christmas feel by stacking red and green sheets in turns.

Bake a pound cake, cut it into long squares, apply orange jam between them, wrap it in marzipan, and dip it in sugar to give it a more winter feel, and I think it’s shiny and pretty~~

It’s a pound cake with cream cheese, so it’s flavorful and more delicious~*^^*

I think it is important to cut the pound cake into the same size in order to improve the perfection of this cake.

I used orange jam, but since it has a lot of flesh, I used it through a sieve.

You can use apricot jam or other jam for jam.
I made a pattern on the top and decorated it with bead-shaped sprinkles, which gives it a more luxurious feel and is pretty.

It’s a lot of work to make, but once you make it, it’s a visual that will bring out the Christmas atmosphere.

Enjoy watching~~♬ ~
