Marzipans are a delicious delicacy.

They can be eaten separately in the form of sweets or sweet figurines. But also marzipans are also a very malleable material for decorating pastries and other sweets. Let's demonstrate its use in cakes and as an interlayer with one sumptuous dessert as an example. Marzipan cake recipe paired with biscuit baking tips.

Cake with a layer of kiwi. Add to the cake marzipans

This is a very delicate soufflé-like dessert. Bake a biscuit first. It is desirable to flavor it with a spoonful of liquor and add two pinches of your favorite spices - anise, vanilla or cinnamon. A food thermometer is very useful. For a biscuit, you will need marzipans - this will be an almond cake. To prepare them, mix with a mixer a cup each of powdered sugar and finely ground almond flour with the zest of one lemon and raw egg white. Separately prepare a water bath.

Heat five whole eggs on it. Pour the warm egg mixture into the cookedmarzipan. Beat for about a quarter of an hour at high speed. Melt half a pack of butter and, after cooling, pour into the dough. Add two tablespoons of sifted flour and a pinch of baking powder. Lastly, you need to put the spices and pour in the liquor. After baking, cool the biscuit well, freeze. This will make it easier to cut in half.

Next steps: making kiwi jelly and marzipan layer

If the biscuit is already ready and cooled, then take care of the jelly. After dissolving it in hot water, pour into the mold on the chilled half of the cake. Prepare the marzipan recipe above with the same amount of ingredients.

After the jelly hardens, spread the marzipan on it. Place the second biscuit disc on top. And again marzipan over jelly. You can also put peeled pistachios on top or pour glaze.

Marzipan buns

Let's make them with yeast dough. The preparation of the marzipan filling is described in detail in the cake recipe. So for now, let's focus on the yeast dough. Take a glass of warm milk and, adding sugar and s alt, put a dough on dry yeast (one bag). After the liquid foams, add it to the bowl with the sifted flour (two and a half cups). Put vanilla, egg, a little sugar and butter there (their amount depends on the desired sweetness of the dough). Let the mass rise in a warm place, and in the meantime form small balls from the finished marzipan. There should be no more than fifteen. Dividerisen dough to make the same number of pieces. Roll marzipan into it, carefully pinch. Let the buns rise again on the greased baking sheet. They are baked no longer than 20 minutes. When cool, they can be covered with icing or fudge. For example, mix melted chocolate with cream or sunflower oil, grind well and apply on buns. Before baking, decorate with streusel (a mixture of equal amounts of flour, butter and sugar, pounded to the state of lumps).
