The best recipe for marzipan cake! This trick with the filling is simply ingenious!
An airy, aromatic and incredibly delicate pastry that delights from the very first bite. The yeast dough becomes soft and elastic, rises beautifully and remains loose and lightly layered after baking.
Inside is a delicate filling of whipped egg whites with sugar, almonds and fresh lemon zest, which gives the pastry an elegant nutty-citrus note. A layer of sweet jam provides juiciness and a pleasant fruity acidity that perfectly complements the rich marzipan filling.
The golden-brown crust with crispy almond flakes and a touch of powdered sugar makes this pastry not only particularly tasty, but also visually very appealing.
This filled roll is perfect with morning coffee as well as for a cozy tea break in the evening. It tastes delicious both warm and completely cooled, and its delicate texture and full-bodied flavor will win over all lovers of homemade sweets.
