Mazarin with apple

In autumn, the Danish countryside is full of crisp apples, and that calls for delicious, spicy cakes. You're probably considering baking a crisp apple. apple crumble or maybe a classic apple pie. But we highly recommend this recipe for apple mazarin. It's simple and quite special at the same time.

What is mazarin?

Mazarin can refer to both a moist cake with almonds/marzipan or a mazarin mass, which is typically filled into a shortcrust pastry.

This recipe for apple mazarin uses a cake batter made from marzipan, butter, sugar, eggs and flour. It results in an incredibly spongy and tasty cake that is in no way dry or boring.

Apple mazarin with cinnamon

In the recipe, cinnamon is not added to the cake batter itself but is sprinkled over the surface of the cake along with cane sugar. This gives the cake a spicy, caramelized and truly irresistible surface.

You can also add more spices to either the cake batter or sprinkle them on top. For example, try cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and/or allspice for a spicier flavor.
