ingredients needed

  • 4 eggs, 120g sugar, 120g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder (for sponge cake)
  • 300ml milk, 1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 egg yolks, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch (for custard)
  • 150ml raspberry jam, 400ml heavy cream (whipped), 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for sweetening cream)
  • 400g green marzipan, powdered sugar (for dusting and rolling), pink marzipan rose (for decoration)

directions

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gently fold in flour and baking powder. Pour into a round cake pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool completely, then slice into 3 even layers.
  • For custard, heat milk with vanilla. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly pour in the hot milk while whisking. Return to pan and cook on low until thickened. Chill completely.
  • Place the bottom sponge layer on a cake plate. Spread with raspberry jam, then custard. Add second sponge layer and spread with whipped cream. Place final sponge layer on top.
  • Shape whipped cream into a dome over the cake. Roll out green marzipan into a thin sheet and gently cover the cake. Trim edges and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  • Decorate with a pink marzipan rose on top. Chill for 1–2 hours before serving.
