Roughly grate the marzipan. Knead 200 g butter, 200 g flour, 50 g sugar and marzipan into crumbles using the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Put the crumbles in a cool place. Put the apricots in a sieve and let them drip off. Cut 180 g butter into pieces. Cream 150 g sugar, vanilla sugar and fat with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one by one.
Mix 280 g flour and baking powder and stir in alternately with the milk. Put the dough into a greased and flour-spreaded springform pan (26 cm Ø), smooth it down and lay it with the apricot halves. Spread crumbles on the apricots and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 45-50 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, remove from the tin after about 15 minutes and let it cool down on a cake rack. Roast almonds in the oven for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle the cake with almonds and icing sugar before serving and decorate with mint
