Slowly add half of flour mixture, then half of buttermilk and repeat. Pour batter into prepared pan. Gently tap on towel covered counter to remove bubbles.

I was so excited to try this recipe when I opened this email today. I went right to the kitchen and made it. I had a bit of difficulty getting the marzipan to thoroughly blend in, even though I kneaded it as per recipe instruction. I followed the directions, but subbing in 1/2 tsp almond extract to the vanilla. It looked delicious going in the oven. Instructions call for baking 45-55 min or until tester comes out clean. I ended up having to bake it for 90 minutes, and then the bottom was burned. It was quite liquidy at 45 min. Checked at 60 minutes, not much better. I thought maybe my oven was off, but I had baked croissants right before the cake without trouble. The only other thing I can think of was that I used a round 9” springform because I didn’t have a 9” square one that it called for. Would that have been the cause of the overbaking? The cake was pretty heavy and dense. Tasted good if you ate around the burnt part.
