Mix to a smooth dough with the whisks of the hand mixer. Fold in chopped nuts. Half grease the fat pan of the oven (32 x 39 cm) and divide it in half with a folded strip of aluminium foil. Spread the dough evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cake rack. In the meantime heat up 3 tablespoons of sugar and red wine. Add the mulled wine seasoning and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Prick holes in the cake plate with a wooden skewer. Soak the cake with the mulled wine. Knead marzipan and 50 g icing sugar. Roll out to the size of the cake plate and place on top. Cut the plate into about 16 pieces (5 x 8 cm).
