These cakes are essentially Swiss roll cakes and follow the same process, involving making a stiff meringue and folding this in to batter for super light airy cakes.

In order to create a Battenberg pattern on the pudding, you'll want cakes in two colours: pink and yellow. This is best done by dividing the batter before adding meringue.

Then divide your meringue and fold half into each coloured cake batter, taking care not to knock out too much of the air!

Bake your cakes in two Swiss Roll pans until risen and springing back to the touch.

Cut the cakes into strips and layer in an alternating pattern. This will resemble a classic Battenberg cake. Set aside while you make the filling.
