Marzipan is a paste made from ground almonds and sugar. It is commonly colored and molded into fanciful shapes, but it is also used as a sweet. nutty ingredient, adding moisture and richness to a number of classic pastries.It is sold in 7-ounce tubes, and is available in most supermarket baking aisles. Almond paste, a similar product, can be used interchangeably here, with similar results. It is made for baking, not modeling, and is therefore a bit coarser.

Thank you, do post your comments !!!
Could you bake this cake normally in the oven by multiplying the batch? I really liked the mug recipe and wanted to recreate it larger. BTW no more than 1:30 for me on the timing. Too long and the cake becomes rubber. Made perfectly its moist and delicious.
