Stir in the raw sugar.

Pour over the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Toss the tutti frutti with 2 tsp of flour. Fold the tutti frutti and marzipan into the cake batter.
Pour into the prepared pan. If you're not glazing the cake, you can decorate the top with some extra tutti frutti and almond flakes if you like.
Bake for 40-45 minutes at 180C until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack.
Serve as is or sprnkle some icing sugar on top or glaze it with almond glaze.
Almond Glaze
Mix together almond milk, icing sugar, and almond extract in a small bowl. Mix well to get a smooth, thick glaze.
Pour this glaze over the cooled cake and immediately top with toasted almond flakes, tutti frutti, and dried rose petals. Let it set for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
