Mak's 'East India' Battenberg
Hosts: "A classic marzipan is a carefully needed mix of eggs, sugar and ground almonds, a traditional recipe that Mak decided to ignore."
Mak: " I think I'm the only baker doing pistachio. There's something I've never liked about almond marzipan. "
Mak's pistachio marzipan wrapped orange and spiced stem ginger sponges.
Judging
Prue Leith: "It is very neat, isn't it? Good orange flavour. "
Paul Hollywood: "I just question the ginger with the orange and then on the outside, the pistachio, it's too complicated."
Prue Leith: "The almond marzipan would have been better than the pistachio. That looks very striking."
Paul Hollywood: "But the decoration is very nice. La marmalade brings a real bitterness to the marzipan. It blends the orange and the chocolate together so it's never going to be too sweet. "
Prue Leith: "It really is a pleasure to eat it. That means a lot. "
