Mango Checkerboard Cake



You could also make this cake into a
Battenberg Cake...a fancy word for a
checkerboard cake...minus a few squares..

Battenberg Cake is a light sponge cake
with the pieces of cake covered in jam or custard.
The cake is covered in marzipan and
when cut in a cross section,
displays a distinctive two-by-two checked pattern.

The interior pastel colors, yellow and pink,
are still traditionally seen in cakes today,
with the four checkered blocks said to represent
the four princes of Battenberg.
