Ingredients: 

• 200 g softened butter
• 180 g light brown cane sugar
• 200 g marzipan with 50% fruit
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 Greek yoghurts
• 260 g flour
• 1cc baking soda
• ½ cc almond extract

Method

1. Step 1: Butter the tin and set aside in a cool place. Preheat the oven to 160°.
2. Step 2: In the bowl of the food processor, cream the butter and sugar and gradually add the marzipan, breaking it down into small pieces by hand.
3. Step 3: When the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, add the egg yolks, yoghurts and almond extract in that order. Sift the flour with the bicarbonate and gently stir in with a spatula. 
4. Step 4: Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for about 50/60 minutes. If necessary, cover the cake with a round piece of parchment paper halfway through to prevent it going too brown.
5. Step 5: Check that it is cooked thoroughly with a skewer. Leave it to cool then remove from the tin and place on a wire rack.
6. Step 6: When the cake is cooled, sprinkle with icing sugar.

Enjoy !
