3. Put the mixture in a greased springform about 26 cm (diameter)

Bake in moderate oven at 175C for about 35 minutes (lowest slot).

YOU NEED

1 dl apple /blueberry /grapejuice / milk (use what you have or likes better)


Filling

150 g vanillacream 2 dl fresh or freezed blueberries 2 dl fresh or freezed strawberry

HOW TO

Cake filling

Cut the cake in three even sizes and dabble them all with 3-4 tbsp juice. Smear vanilla cream on a cake and put blueberries all over. Put the next cake over. Cut the strawberries in 2-4 pieces and whip them lightly inside the half of the cream. Smear the strawberry-cream on the cake. Put the last cake on the top and smear rest of the cream all around the cake.


Marzipanlid

Cut a circle in bakingpaper about 12cm in diameter and put it on the top of the cake. This will prevent cream on the marzipan.

The marzipan should be big enough to cover the cake and cakesides (keep it a bit thick, I thinned it out too much). Have a little flour on your finger when you are working with the marzipan. Put carefully the marzipan on the cake and cut off the rests. Make an even cross in the middle. Make another cross over it like a X. Fold the marzipan one by one (it will look a like a flower). Decorate with fresh berries and cream.
