First prepare all the ingredients at your fingertips, sift the flour (together with the yeast if you can not do without it) a couple of times and grate the marzipan block, stirring it with a little bit of powdered sugar to prevent it from coming together again!
Now mix in a bowl the sugar, the eggs and the lemon juice.
A temperature of 40 ° C would be necessary, which can be obtained by mixing carefully in a bain-marie, as for one sponge cake;
alternatively you can keep the bowl immersed in a container with very hot water: tried and it works!
In about ten minutes the compound will triple and will be extremely stable.
Add the milk and then the oil gently (the original recipe prescribes that of seeds but, excuse me, I can not do without a good olive oil; I use it also for some pastefrolle!).
Gradually add marzipan and finish, as if you were preparing a sponge cake, flour.
Pour the mixture into a buttered donut mold and sprinkled with fine flour and breadcrumbs, sprinkle with flaked almonds...
... and pass it in the oven (static) preheated to 180 ° C for about 40 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Sprinkle with icing sugar and let it cool.
Buon appetito!
