The Best Keto Marzipan Cake

This Keto marzipan cake recipe is the perfect way to repurpose any Keto marzipan leftover from the holidays. You only need one more ingredient aside from the marzipan to make this cake. Keto marzipan cake is soft, moist, and flavorful.

What does this cake taste like?

This cake will acquire the flavors of the marzipan you are using. For instance, if you use plain marzipan, your cake will probably taste like almonds. If the marzipan has rose water or orange blossom water, then this is what your cake will taste like. However, this shouldn't stop you from adding your preferred flavors. You can add lemon or orange zest, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice to the cake batter. Just make sure that the flavors you're adding don't clash with the marzipan flavor.

How to make this Keto marzipan cake?

Since this Keto marzipan only requires 2 ingredients, following the instructions correctly is essential for a successful outcome. First, you need to break the marzipan into small pieces. It's better if the marzipan is at room temperature. If not, you can microwave it for a few seconds to warm up. Next, you need to crack the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Combine the yolks with the marzipan, and whip the whites to stiff peaks. Then, fold the beaten egg whites with the marzipan mixture until a batter forms. Pour it into a lined springform pan, and bake. The eggs are responsible for the cake leavening, so it's essential that you follow the mentioned steps correctly.

Is this cake gluten-free?

Don't you love it when a great recipe is gluten-free? We do too. This Keto cake recipe is prepared with marzipan, made from almond flour, which is naturally gluten-free.

How long will this Keto marzipan dessert last?

You can also freeze this cake for up to a month. Slice the cake, then wrap each piece individually with cling film or aluminum foil. To thaw, place it in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a couple of hours.

The Best Keto Marzipan

180 g
Raw egg

3 large

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150C/ 300 F and line a 20 cm/8" springform pan with parchment paper. Place your Keto marzipan in a bowl, and break it up into smaller pieces. It is easier if your marzipan is at room temperature, so you can microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up.
Step 2

Crack the eggs, and separate the whites from the yolks. Add the whites to a bowl of a stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form, for around 5-7 minutes. You can also whip the egg whites in a glass bowl using a hand mixer.
Step 3

To the bowl with the marzipan, add 1 egg yolk and mix using a fork. Repeat with the remaining egg yolks. Combining the marzipan and egg yolk will be hard at first, but it will get easier as the mixture loosens up.
Step 4

Add a third of the whipped egg whites to the marzipan mixture. Whisk to combine and further loosen the mixture. Add the remaining egg whites.
Step 5

Gently fold the whites into the marzipan mixture. Don't whisk, or else you will knock off the air from the batter. Stop folding when most of the whites are folded in; it's okay to have a few white spots.
Step 6

Pour the cake batter into the lined pan. Spread it using a spoon or spatula. Transfer the pan to the oven to bake.
Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes at 150 C/300 F then, reduce the heat to 120 C/ 250 F and bake for another 20-25 minutes. The cake should be golden when done, and an inserted toothpick should come out dry.
Step 8

Take the cake out of the pan and place it on a serving platter. Let it cool completely. Once it's no longer hot, you can garnish it with powdered sweetener dusting.
Step 9

Cut the cake into 8 equal slices. You can add sugar-free frosting or icing to the top. Serve immediately.
