Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 55 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Place the margarine, finely chopped marzipan, and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat everything with a hand mixer fitted with a whisk until fluffy. Add each egg, one at a time, and beat each one for about 30 seconds. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add to the margarine, egg, and marzipan mixture and beat again until well combined. Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Only now add the frozen strawberries to the remaining batter in the bowl, also add to the tin, and smooth down. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 55 minutes, depending on your oven. (Preheat to 180°C top/bottom heat, 160°C fan/convection oven, or gas mark 3; neither preheated.) Dust the cold cake with icing sugar before serving.
