Marzipan Cake with Raspberry Sauce

A tasty delight with rich flavors that leaves everyone wanting more

This is another well-used recipe from my cake folder that comes from cooks.com.  Several of my friends asked for the recipe and I have used it many times. The cake takes 5 to 10 minutes to make and 50 minutes to bake. Getting Kirschwasser (you can always substitute with Triple Sec) and marzipan is the most difficult thing to find. I get my marzipan at Cost Plus World Market, but Safeway and other grocery stores carry it too.
This cake is rich, sweet and moist. The raspberry sauce adds a flavorful contrast to the sweetness. The cake keeps for several days and can be baked ahead of time. The raspberry sauce keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days and is great over ice cream. In my recipe I use almond paste or extra fine baking marzipan .
