Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

Preheat oven at 180°C.
Mix dark brown sugar and butter (or oil-butter mixture) until creamy.
Add eggs and mix until very fluffy.
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.
Incorporate marzipan, cinnamon, pinch of salt and vanilla extract into egg-butter-sugar mixture.
Add ground almonds.
Mix baking powder with flour and add to dough. Mix thoroughly.
Butter a cake pan or cupcake tin and transfer dough to it.
Bake at 180°C for about 45 minutes (cake) or 20 minutes (cupcakes).
Let cupcakes cool for 10 minutes.
Mix lemon juice and icing sugar until a thick paste forms. Glaze cooled cupcakes as you like.
