Instructions
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and keep aside.
- Whisk sugar and butter together till light and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time and blend nicely with an electrical hand blender till it turns light and fluffy.
- Add the dry mix into the wet mix and fold in to make a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter into two portions in two separate bowl.
- Add vanilla extract and lemon colour into one portion and mix well.
- Similarly add strawberry extract and strawberry pink color into the other divided portion and mix well.
- Line two same size baking trays with parchment paper and pour into the two batters in the consecutive trays as shown in pic below.
- Bake both the cakes in a pre heated oven at 180 degree C for 30-35mins or till the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow it to cool first before taking out from the tray.
- Once the cake is cool completely, slice off the top and the four sides to make an equal sized rectangular of almost 10’x 3′ inches.
- Now you will be having two equal sized rectangular cakes. Take the pink cake and cut it lenghth wise from the center. Similarly slice the yellow cake as well.
- Take a pink slice and a yellow slice and pink slice and attach them together length wise by applying whipping cream in the center. [take whipping cream and add confectioners sugar into it and whisk till soft peaks appear]
- Note : If you don’t want to use whipping cream, you can use chocolate ganache, apricot jam or even butter cream frosting.
- Similarly do the same with the other two slices as well. Now place both pair over each other but make sure the colors should be place opposite to each other.
- Now apply whipping cream all over the assembled cake and keep aside.
- Knead handful dough of marzipan and roll out outwards with a rolling ping. Roll it big so that it covers the entire cake. I got marzipan dough from the store. If you can make fondant at home, then use that. You can check my fondant recipe at
- Cover the cake with marzipan sheet from all sides. Do it really neatly and cut the extras from the corners using a pizza cutter.
- Make light cris cross impressions on the top and decorate it with silver balls.
- You can even pipe the cake with butter cream or whipped cream frosting or can make fondant or marzipan flowers and place it on top.
- Once your cake is done allow it to refrigerate for atleast an hour before serving.
- Slice into equal pieces and serve in a pary, holiday dinner or just have it as your tea time snack.
