Strawberry and Banana Milkshake Battenberg

  A battenberg cake was one of the cakes that featured on my Bake Off Challenge set a couple of years ago now that I never quite completed. So, here is my signature battenberg cake. The colours look very similar to the traditional bake, however the surprise comes when you take a bite. The yellow sponge is flavoured with banana milkshake powder and the pink sponge with strawberry milkshake powder. I have to say, as battenbergs go, this is a winning flavour combination.  Recipe - Makes 1  For the sponges: 125g margarine, softened  125g caster sugar  2 eggs 125g self-raising flour  15g strawberry milkshake powder 15g banana milkshake powder  2 tbsp milk Pink and yellow food colouring  For the filling and coating:  3 tbsp strawberry jam, sieved 350g marzipan Grease and line with baking paper two 1lb loaf tins. Set aside until needed. Preheat the oven to 170C.  Cream the margarine in a bowl to soft then add the sugar. Beat to smooth. Add the eggs a little at a time, whisking to incorporate
