Jamie from Life is a feast invited us for BBD #26 hosted by our wonderful Zorra to bake for a birthday party, especially for her own – unfortunately only – virtual birthday party. I don’t want to bake just a normal bread for her birthday party, so I choose a reciepe for something between cake and bread.
My contribution is a ‘Marzipan-Rosenkuchen’ with Amaretto. I couldn’t find out what’s the name in english. This is one of my favorit cakes and now I hope Jamie likes marzipan so that she will be happy with her birthday ‘bread’. |
I live in germany’s marzipan capital Lübeck and so marzipan is a must for a birthday cake.
The dough is a yeast dough enriched with butter and eggs and filled with marzipan, almond flakes and amaretto.
We enjoyed the cake very much with our afternoon coffee on sunday afternoon. It was so fluffy and sweet just a indulgence for marzipan maniacs like Mr. C. and me.

Wow this is extraordinary and yes!!! I love it! This would so make all of us here happy. The texture is perfect and I do love the flavors. This is so perfect for a birthday party. No I’m sad that this party is only virtual too, I’d love a slice of this!
Thanks so much for baking this beautiful bread/cake for BBD!
Der Kuchen sieht zum Reinbeissen aus! Ich habe zwar gerade vorhin ein Stück Kuchen gegessen, aber zu einem Stück von deinem würde ich jetzt nicht nein sagen!
@Jamie
I’m very happy that you love my cake.
@Zorra
Ich schicke Dir gerne ein Stückchen davon bzw. vom nächsten Kuchen, denn der erste ist leider schon weg.
