- With an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar and black treacle until paler and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating each one at a time.
- Add the flour and mix with spatula. I don't use electric mixer for the flour.
- Now add the mixed fruits, almond powder. It might look a bit messy at this point but that's how it would be.
- Pour into the pan. Top it with almonds. This will help for good appearance Incase we don't have time to decorate later!
- Cover the pan with parchment paper to overturn the top layer. Keep the pan in oven for 3 hours at 140 *C
- Switch off oven. Allow cake to cool down.
- Keep in airtight container.
- On the day of decorating, knead the marzipan and roll it over. I did according to Waitrose video on YouTube.
- You need 2 TSP apricot jam a bit heated to apply on cake so that marzipan sticks to it.
- 12 hours after marzipan dried, I applied the fondant icing similar to how marzipan was kneaded, rolled and stuck on cake. Cut out the edges.
- Then stick the edible stars
- Keep in airtight cake container until ready to display.
