Waitrose Cherry And Marzipan Cake Recipe
Ingredients
To make this delicious Waitrose Cherry and Marzipan Cake you will need the following ingredients: 200g softened butter, 200g caster sugar, 4 eggs, 150g self-raising flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 200g ground almonds, 200g marzipan, 200g glacé cherries, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons icing sugar.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5. Grease and line a 20cm/8in round cake tin with greaseproof paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour and baking powder. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ground almonds, marzipan, glacé cherries and lemon juice. Remove the cake from the oven and spread the almond mixture over the top. Return to the oven and bake for a further 25 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To finish, mix together the icing sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of water until you have a thick, spreadable consistency. Spread over the cooled cake and serve.
