pineapple marzipan cake

pineapple maryipan cake is one of my real favorite cakes for the autumn. the combination of pineapple and marzipan works very well.

Ingredients for a cake mold with a diameter of 26 cm:

• 200 grams of marzipan
• 5 eggs
• 175 grams of butter
• 175 grams of sugar
• 1 pack of vanilla sugar (8 gram)
• 1 pack of baking powder (15 gram)
• 300 grams of flour
• 300 grams of canned pineapple
• butter for greasing the mold
• breadcrumbs for dusting the mold
• chocolate icing
• pistachio nuts

Method:

• Preheat the oven at 180°C.
• Cut the pineapple into fine pieces and let them drain.
• Cut the marzipan finely
• Melt the butter
• Beat the marzipan, the butter, the eggs and the sugar until the foam with the mixer
• Add the flour and the baking powder to the mixture
• Add the pineapple pieces to the dough.
• Grease the mold and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
• Pour the dough into the mold
• Bake in the convection oven at 180 ° -200 ° for 30-35 minutes. Or in the combi-oven with hot air at 170 ° and the microwave at the lowest setting.
  
• Remove the cake from the mold and let it cool down.
• Melt the chocolate glaze “au bain marie”.
• Cover the cake with the glaze.
• Grate the pistachios and spread them over the glaze.

I posted this pineapple marzipan cake recipe for the first time on my Dutch blog “Gerechtenweb” already back in 2007. So it is a true classic.
