Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
6 None eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar
7 oz marzipan, grated
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra to dust pan
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup ground almonds
3.5 oz dark baking chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp rum
2 tbsp almond liqueur (such as amaretto)
1 tbsp flaked almonds
10.5 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
8 oz white chocolate, broken into pieces

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 10 1/2 cup Bundt pan and sprinkle with flour. Beat the butter until creamy. Stir in the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar. Add the marzipan and vanilla extract and mix.
2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then gradually add 1/4 cup sugar. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flours, baking powder and ground almonds. Add this mixture to the marzipan mixture, stirring just until combined.
3

Melt the baking chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Spoon one-third of the cake batter into a bowl and, using a wooden spoon, stir in the melted chocolate, cocoa, rum and almond liqueur.
4

Spoon half the plain batter into the pan, then spoon in the chocolate batter, then the remaining plain batter. Swirl with a fork to form a marbled effect. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds. Bake for 45-50 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool for 30 mins, then turn out of the pan on to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
5

Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Spread over the cake. Allow to set.
6

Melt the white chocolate in the same way. Spoon white chocolate over the cake, allowing the chocolate to drizzle down the sides. Allow to set.
