To make this cake, you'll need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup milk

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup marzipan, grated

For the topping:

- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until everything is well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Once the cake has cooled, use a serrated knife to slice it in half horizontally. Spread the raspberry jam over the bottom half of the cake, then sprinkle the grated marzipan on top. Place the top half of the cake back on and press down gently.
To make the topping, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top of the cake, then arrange the toasted almonds on top. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.
This Raspberry Almond Marzipan Cake is a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors, with a moist and tender crumb. It's a great dessert to serve at any occasion, and is sure to impress your guests with its beautiful appearance and delicious taste.
