• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup raspberry jam

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a round cake pan.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy.

   Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gently fold it into the egg mixture until just combined.

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

   Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into three layers. Spread raspberry jam between each layer, then frost the outside with whipping cream.

   Roll out the green marzipan to a thickness of about 5mm (1/4 inch) and cover the cake completely, smoothing it out.
