I wonder if I could make a battenburg cake!
They were really easy to make. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2013/04/edna-maes-sour-cream-pancakes/
I'm guessing you could, but whether you will if you can buy a good one is another matter. You could always get someone else to make one for you.
Winchester, I have made my own and it's great fun (and tastes better than bought too) but usually it's shop bought. The first one I made was at school in home economics and it was a massive one, about 24" long but usual depth / width, and fresh made marzipan to coat it. The marzipan is never as nice on the bought ones and I do love nice marzipan.
I just Googled battenburg cake....had no clue what it was. It looks gorgeous! And I bet it's delicious, too. Do you make your own cake or do you buy it at a bakery?
I have a round layer cake set with inserts, so that when it's layered and frosted and you cut into it, it looks like a checkerboard. Something along the lines of your battenburg cake, but not with the marzipan.
LaraLove, your noodles look really pretty.
The last thing I ate last night.....was, yeah, more peppermint icebox crunch cookies. We dunked them into hot chocolate, which gave the chocolate a minty flavor, too.
Drinking my morning coffee right now.
Did you do it exactly as Ree wrote the recipe? With all that lovely butter? Your sour cream is very thick isn't it? Ours isn't so thick. Do you think. It would come out the same?
No I just put a little butter and syrup on it. I'm trying not to eat too much junk and I definitely wouldn't want my 15 month old to have all that butter and syrup. Yeah the sour cream is thick, I think the batter might be really thin if you made it with thinner sour cream. You might have to use more flour or something to thicken it.
