An excellent light and flavoursome almond cake. I had some trouble grating the marzipan as it is quite soft. I considered cooling it but instead I threw it into the food processor with the sugar and that did a good job. I was surprised at the amount of flour but it was fine. -
I was searching for an easy quick Danish heritage recipe - this one fit the bill. It was easy to make after reading the reviews about using coarse grater for the Marzipan. Shared it with friends who thought it a wonderful cake. My family loved it. will make another!

Very easy to make. I had no trouble grating the marzipan - just used a very coarse grater. The almond taste is not too strong in this cake

I love food. I always think that's one of the few things in life we should all spend more time with, have more care in the food we eat and how and how much.
I moved to New York right after college. I work long hours, but that's the case at all financial consulting firms in the city. I cannot list all the perks involved with living in the city. There are so many amazing restaurants here. Some insanely expensive, some so cheap you can't believe. I have been having lots and lots of fun trying them out. Moreover, New York seems to have endless supply of world class, and world varied, ingredients, which makes cooking infinitely more fun.
