## Steps

1. Beat the marzipan with the caster sugar until smooth.
2. Add the butter, cut into cubes, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour at the end.
4. Spoon the batter into a greased 20 cm springform tin lined with baking paper on the base.
5. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 175°C for about 30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
6. Let the cake cool for a few minutes, then scatter the dark chocolate over the still-warm cake.
7. Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
8. Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Rub the seeds into the sugar.
9. Whisk the vanilla sugar, egg yolks and cornflour together in a saucepan.
10. Pour in the milk, whisking, and heat gently to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens nicely.
11. Let the custard simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring, then pour the vanilla cream into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film.
12. Whip the double cream to soft peaks and fold it into the vanilla cream to make a light, luscious pastry cream.
13. Spread the pastry cream over the cake.
14. Top with the strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, along with a little fresh mint to decorate.
