You can either bake this almondy and rich sweet as cupcakes or an entire cake. Ingredients:
200 g marzipan |
75 g flour |
125 g butter (or half canola-oil) |
50 g ground almonds |
4 eggs |
75 g dark brown sugar (or brown or white) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or a half vanilla bean) |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
4 tablespoons icing sugar |
1/2-1 tablespoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 180°C.
2. Mix dark brown sugar and butter (or oil-butter mixture) until creamy.
3. Add eggs and mix until very fluffy.
4. Cube Marzipan and soften in microwave (about 20-30 sec. at 700 Watt). You don't need to do this, but the handling is way easier.
5. Incorporate marzipan, cinnamon, pinch of salt and vanilla extract into egg-butter-sugar mixture.
6. Add ground almonds.
7. Mix baking powder with flour and add to dough. Mix thoroughly.
8. Butter a cake pan or cupcake tin and transfer dough to it.
9. Bake at 180°C for about 45 minutes (cake) or 20 minutes (cupcakes).
10. Let cupcakes cool for 10 minutes.
11. Mix lemon juice and icing sugar until a thick paste forms. Glaze cooled cupcakes as you like.
