Ingredients

• 6 pieces Canned pineapple rings
• 200 grams Marzipan paste
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain the canned pineapple rings and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the marzipan paste and butter. Beat until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar to the marzipan-butter mixture and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the batter in a circular pattern. Slightly press them into the batter so they stay in place while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the springform ring and transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, lightly dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your Pineapple Marzipan Cake!
