Marzipan Sheet Cake
Pane-bistecca
My family loves marzipan and one family member very much! That’s why I baked him a marzipan cake for his birthday.
It is made in three layers one for the dough, one is chocolate, and one is the marzipan filling. The cake gets very airy and was eaten faster than I could take pictures!!
