Gluten-Free Marzipan Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
Marzipan (a mixture of almonds and sugar) adds not only flavour but also a unique, juicy consistency to the sponge. Since almonds contain no gluten, the cake structure is denser, moister, more reminiscent of a 'blondie' than a sponge. Due to the high sugar content of the marzipan, the edges caramelise wonderfully during baking.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Eggs
⚠️ Nuts (Almonds)
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the cold marzipan on a large hole grater.

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

Whisk the eggs with the sugar until foamy, then trickle in the butter.

Tip: Standard procedure for aeration.
3 ✓

Mix in the ground almonds, baking powder, salt, and finally fold in the grated marzipan.

Tip: Try to distribute the marzipan so it doesn't stick together in a lump.
4 ✓

Bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.

Tip: Skewer test! Due to the almonds, the skewer might be slightly moist, but there should be no raw batter on it.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the top burn?
The oils and sugars in marzipan and almonds brown quickly at high temperatures. If you see it darkening, cover with aluminium foil.
