Marzipan Cake with Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ¾ tsp baking powder
– ½ tsp salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 tsp almond extract
– ½ cup almond paste
– ½ cup milk
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
For Raspberry Sauce:
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
5. Crumble the almond paste into the mixture and beat until well combined.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
7. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. While the cake is baking, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
11. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Serve the Marzipan Cake with a drizzle of the homemade Raspberry Sauce on top. Enjoy this delightful dessert with a cup of tea or coffee for a truly luxurious experience.
