Danish Marcipan Cake - Mazarinkage

One of the cakes I've baked for tonight's party (a parents only party in DS10 class - yeehaw!) is this Danish Marcipan Cake, Mazarinkage. Guess what? Super simple! Feeds a lot of people. Tiny slices. Super heavy on the calories ;) Need I say yum?

You'll need:

250g or 10oz marcipan250g or 10oz butter250g or 10oz sugar3 eggs125g or 5oz plain flourAnd you'll probably want one of these...

Cut the marcipan and butter into big chunks and throw in your mixer. Pour over the sugar and the three eggs. Whizz until it's well mixed. Add the flour and whizz again.

Pour and scrape every last drop of the mixture into a cake tin. 24cm or 9 inches in diameter. I use a springform one and line it with baking paper.

Take a piece of dental floss and wind around the pastry at the point where you would normally hack and squash it cut it into slices with a knife.

Pull the edges tightly over each other and slice through...

Voilà, ready for baking - and no messy edges or sharp knives involved!

Dental floss. Strange but true. Also works well on kanelsnegle (cinammon 'snails' or rolls). And it's certainly more fun than using it between your teeth... ;D

Have a terrific Tuesday! :)
