Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 dash almond extract
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
Preparation
On work surface, combine granulated sugar, icing sugar and ground almonds; make well in centre. Add lemon juice, almond extract and egg yolk to make stiff but manageable dough. Turn onto lightly sugared surface; knead until smooth (over-kneading will turn dough oily). Roll out to cover cake.
Additional information : Tip: Spread a little melted and strained apricot jam over cake before topping it with this marzipan.
