- Once fully cooled, use a sharp knife to slice the cake in half long ways.
- Microwave the apricot jam for 30 seconds until runny. Dust a large chopping board or worktop with icing sugar and use a rolling pin to roll out the marzipan so it it big enough to cover all 4 sides of the cake. Use a teaspoon to coat in a layer of jam.
- Carefully lift the cake slices into the centre of marzipan. Use the remaining jam as a glue to hold the segments together.
- Fold the marzipan over the cake. Flip the cake over so the join is at the bottom. Use a sharp knife to cut either end to make them neat. Serve and enjoy!
