Marzipan is easy to use and tastes great on its own. But, can also be used in combination with a few other simple ingredients. This marzipan cake is the perfect example. Don’t miss out on this ingenious cake recipe made in a bundt pan.
Preheat the oven at 325F / 165C / Gas Mark 3. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Pro tip - You can line 2 x 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper or grease a 9 x 4 x 4-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, crumble the marzipan and add 2 tbsp of water. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute until smooth.
4 oz Marzipan
Dry ingredients - In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, spices, and orange zest.
Finally, add the flour mixture with the milk in three batches alternating between each other. Combine until smooth, but do not overmix.
½ cup Whole milk
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Pro tip - I sprinkled the bottom of my bundt pan with a few almond flakes before pouring in the batter. This way, the bottom of the cake has some almonds on top.
Bake on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, place a plate over the pan and invert the cake onto a platter and dust with powdered sugar.
