Battenberg cake, also known as checker board cake (with either cake or square added at the end), is a light sponge cake with different sections held together with jam. The cake is covered in marzipan and has a distinctive two-by-two check pattern alternately coloured pink and yellow when cut in cross section. Because of theirresemblance to a cake, the large chequered patterns on emergency vehicles in the United Kingdom are officially known as Battenburg markings. Battenberg cake has also been called church window cake, checkerboard cake, and domino cake. The first cake was baked in 1884 to commemorate the marriage ofPrince Louis of Battenberg to Princess Victoria, Queen Victorias granddaughter and Prince Philips grandmother. Early Battenbergs had up to 25 squares, and according to food historian Ivan Day, the simplified four-panelled cake appeared when large industrial bakers such as Lyons got into the Battenberg game.
