I'm not a fan of marzipan, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cake still turned out great!

This cake is very rich and dense, so a little goes a long way. I would recommend serving it in small slices.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.
