How to Make Marzipan Cup Cake's With Lemonglaze

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the marzipan until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups or cake pan about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes for cupcakes, or 30-35 minutes for a cake, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the lemon glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Add a teaspoon of water at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the top.
