Although this cake is called Marzipan, it doesn’t have any connection with real Marzipan :)
This cake is very special because it contains lots of walnuts, but you can also make it with hazelnuts or almonds.
Ingredients for Marzipan Cake:
Biscuit:
- 4 eggs
- 4 cups of sugar
- 5 cups of flour
- 1 cup of oil
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 cups of ground walnuts (almonds or hazelnuts can also be used)
- half a bag of baking powder (9 grams, or one teaspoon)
Biscuit preparation:
Use smaller cups for the measure, as for Turkish coffee. Stir in the ingredients in the order listed and bake the bicuit at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes.
Topping:
- 12 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of water
- 200 grams of butter
- 2 rows of big cooking chocolate (cca 100 grams)
- 5 cups of ground walnuts
Topping preparation:

- Then add the butter and chopped chocolate
