Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pound butter, softened
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3 ounces marzipan
- 6 eggs
- ⅓ cup half-and-half
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Add marzipan. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat half-and-half into butter mixture.
- Stir 1 cup of flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in milk. Add another 1 cup flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir milk into mixture. Add remaining flour mixture and stir in orange juice. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and give batter a final mix. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 90 minutes.
- Cool cake in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- I used this for mini cupcakes. I reduced the baking time to 15 minutes.
- You can substitute brown sugar for the white sugar.

This cake was greasy!! To much butter..
Way, way too much butter. The orange flavor didn’t come through. This is a heavy, greasy cake.
