Marzipan Cake
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. I highly recommend making this cake—I’m sure it will become a frequent guest at your table. The cake stays soft for a long time even without wrapping. You can make marzipan yourself; if you want a pattern in the cake, use colored marzipan instead of plain marzipan. Baking is done. Serve at the table.

Prepare all the ingredients you need to make a cake with marzipan. I have a marzipan bar in chocolate, but that’s even better. Take the butter out in advance so it softens.
