Ingredients

  • 14 oz marzipan
  • 8 eggs
  • icing sugar and strawberries for decoration optional
US - EU

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the marzipan into small pieces and place them in the food processor. Add the eggs two at a time and mix until you have a smooth paste with no lumps in it. Butter a springform (26 cm/10-inch diameter) and pour the batter into it.
  • Bake at 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Turn down the heat to 110 degrees Celsius/ 230 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 65-70 more minutes until lightly golden.
  • Start checking after 50 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius/ 230 degrees Fahrenheit by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the cake. It should come out clean, with no bits clinging to it. If there are still bits sticking to it, continue baking and check every 5 minutes.
  • Rest: Turn off the heat and leave the cake another 10 minutes in the oven. Then, take it out, let it rest in the form for about 15 minutes, remove it from the form, and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with icing sugar if you wish. Serve as suggested above.
