Steps to make Quince and Marzipan Cake

1	Dissolve caster sugar in water	5
In a large saucepan, combine boiling water and caster sugar and bring to a boil. Allow to bubble for a couple of minutes until sugar dissolves.
2	Add lemon, herbs and spices	1
Cut the lemon in half and add to the pot with your chosen herbs and spices.
3	Add quince slices	1
Add quince slices to the pot and top with more water so they are just covered.
4	Cook mixture	1h
Cut a circle of baking parchment paper to fit over the quinces in the pot, and pierce a 1-inch hole in the centre. Place over the quinces, touching the water and turn the heat down to a gentle simmer. Gently simmer for an hour or so, until the quinces are tender but still holding their shape.
5	Slice quinces further	2
Remove from the liquid with a slotted spoon and place on chopping board. Slice 3 or 4 segments, lengthwise, into 3 pieces so you end up with longer, slender pieces and chop the rest of the segments into 2cm dice. Set to dry on a piece of kitchen paper towel.
6	Preheat oven and prepare baking dish	5
Preheat the oven to 190 °C (fan oven) and grease a 25cm cake tin or fluted tart tin with butter and line it with baking parchment paper.
7	Combine dry ingredients	2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder and add brown sugar, lemon zest and salt. Mix to combine.
8	Combine wet ingredients	2
In a separate bowl whisk the melted butter, eggs and buttermilk to combine.
9	Combine all ingredients	2
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix, using a spatula, to combine. Do not over mix.
10	Add quince and marzipan	2
Add quince cubes and marzipan into the mixture and fold together to evenly disperse.
11	Prepare cake	2
Pour batter into prepared baking tin and arrange quince slices, in a decorative pattern, over the top of the cake.
12	Bake	40
Bake for 35-40 minutes until completely baked and a wooden skewer or a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Scatter with almond flakes on top of the cake 5 minutes before taking it out of the oven.
13	Garnish	1
Remove from oven and allow to cool before dusting with icing sugar.
14	Serve
Serve with a strong cup of tea and best enjoyed warm.
