- Spoon half into the tin.
- Roll out the marzipan to a 7 1/2 inch circle.
- Lay this on top of the cake mixture in the tin, then cover with the rest of the mixture.
- Level with the back of a spoon and scatter the almonds on top.
- Bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours, covering with foil after 1 hour if it shows signs of burning.
