25-Min Marzipan Almond Cake
A ridiculously easy two-ingredient almond cake that bakes in under 20 minutes. Marzipan does the heavy lifting—it's basically almond flour and sugar already mixed, so you just need eggs to bind it into a tender, nutty cake.

Grate marzipan into the bowl using a box grater, then fold gently until just combined.
Step 4
Pour batter into the prepared pan and press whole almonds evenly across the top.

Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
