Ingredients
7 to 8 ounces marzipan, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Jam, for serving
Directions
Special equipment:
an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges on the long sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the marzipan with the powdered sugar to coat. Add the chocolate chips and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter cubes and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Add this to the bowl with the marzipan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk or cream, and extracts and add to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with remaining teaspoon of sugar and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Using the parchment wings, remove to the rack to cool completely. Cut with a serrated knife and serve with jam.
