Marzipan cake with raspberries and white chocolate

The combination of tangy raspberries and almond-rich sweet marzipan makes this cake a Summer favorite of mine.

Finally fold in raspberries with a gentle hand. Pour the cake batter into a buttered springform pan (20 cm) with the bottom lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 45-50 minutes.
