Pineapple & Marzipan Cake (Ananas-Marzipankuchen) image

I got this recipe of my auntie, who always brings this round when she feels people need or deserve a little treat. It's really simple and quite quick to do, but it makes a really yummy and moist cake. If you can't get vanilla sugar, you can use 1 tsp vanilla essence instead, or you can make your own by putting about an inch of a vanilla pod in a screw top jar with 1/2 cup of sugar and leave it for a couple of days (the rest will keep).

This cake was a bit dry. I think I should have added more pineapple juice.

I'm not sure I like the combination of pineapple and marzipan. It's a bit too sweet for me.
