2/3 cup soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
4 eggs
1 vanilla pod
1/2 lemon juiced
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 lemon, zested
3 ounces marzipan
2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Frosting

Directions

1

Start by mixing sugar, butter, marzipan, lemon zest and maple syrup at low speed with a mixer until you have a smooth mass.
2

The add the lemon juice and the eggs one at a time - giving each egg time to froth a bit.
3

Finally add the flour mixed with baking powder.
4

Scrap into round pan and bake for 20-30 minutes at 200 C.
5

While it bakes make a frosting of 150 grams confectioners sugar and lemon juice - I used the juice of about three quarter of a lemon - adding a bit of yellow food color for an authentic look.

Let cake cool and then frost it and drizzle a bit of lemon zest on top - cut in half.
