Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 2/3 cup soft butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 lemon, zested
  • 3 ounces marzipan
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • Frosting
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Start by mixing sugar, butter, marzipan, lemon zest and maple syrup at low speed with a mixer until you have a smooth mass.
  2. The add the lemon juice and the eggs one at a time - giving each egg time to froth a bit.
  3. Finally add the flour mixed with baking powder.
  4. Scrap into round pan and bake for 20-30 minutes at 200 C.
  5. While it bakes make a frosting of 150 grams confectioners sugar and lemon juice - I used the juice of about three quarter of a lemon - adding a bit of yellow food color for an authentic look.
  6. Let cake cool and then frost it and drizzle a bit of lemon zest on top - cut in half.
