Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 ounces marzipan, chopped into small cubes
• 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round springform pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Gently fold in the marzipan cubes and raspberries, making sure to distribute them evenly without squishing the raspberries too much.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine the all-purpose flour and light brown sugar in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms clumps.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
