중요 사항
You can replace the liquor with orange or grape juice for a non-alcoholic version.
Lining the baking pan with multiple layers of paper helps prevent the outside of the cake from burning during the long bake time.
The cake's flavor deepens and improves with time. Storing it for at least a few days or weeks before serving is recommended.
For a traditional finish, you can place a layer of marzipan between the jam glaze and the white fondant icing.
The finished cake can be stored for several months in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
