Gluten-Free Marzipan Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
Marzipan (a blend of almonds and sugar) adds not just flavor but a special, moist texture. Since almonds lack gluten, the cake's crumb is denser and moister, resembling a 'blondie' more than a sponge. The high sugar content in marzipan caramelizes beautifully at the edges.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the cold marzipan using the large holes of a box grater.

Tip: If warm, it will smear. Fridge-cold marzipan shreds nicely.
2 ✓

Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy, then drizzle in butter.

Tip: Standard aeration method.
3 ✓

Mix in almond flour, baking powder, salt, and finally fold in the grated marzipan.

Tip: Try to distribute marzipan so it doesn't clump.
4 ✓

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes.

Tip: Toothpick test! It might stay slightly moist due to almonds, but shouldn't be raw.

Recipe FAQ
