Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pound butter, softened

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 3 ounces marzipan

  • 6 eggs

  • ⅓ cup half-and-half

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • ⅓ cup orange juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan.

  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.

  3. Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Add marzipan. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat half-and-half into butter mixture.

  4. Stir 1 cup of flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in milk. Add another 1 cup flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir milk into mixture. Add remaining flour mixture and stir in orange juice. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and give batter a final mix. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 90 minutes.

  6. Cool cake in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Notes:

I used this for mini cupcakes. I reduced the baking time to 15 minutes.

You can substitute brown sugar for the white sugar.
