MARZIPAN II
Steps:
- Place the almonds and 3 tablespoons of the granulated sugar in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until the almonds are very finely ground (about 2 minutes).
- Place the remaining granulated sugar and the water in a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir together over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Brush down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. Place a candy thermometer in the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the mixture without stirring until it registers 236°F on the thermometer.
- Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the ground almonds and the egg whites. Return the pan to the heat and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (3 to 5 minutes).
- Dust a smooth work surface heavily with some of the confectioners' sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and turn the mixture out onto the surface. Dust the top of the marzipan heavily with confectioners' sugar and leave it to cool.
- Knead the marzipan (see page 31) until it is smooth and pliable (about 5 minutes). Add more confectioners' sugar as needed to keep the marzipan from being sticky and too soft.
- Wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, the marzipan will keep for up to 2 months in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. Bring the marzipan to room temperature before using.

Steps:
- Mix the sugars and almonds in a large bowl, then rub in the vanilla seeds until even. Make a well in the middle, then tip in the eggs and citrus juice. Cut the wet ingredients into the dry with a cutlery knife. Dust the surface with icing sugar, then knead the marzipan briefly with your hands to a smooth dough. Don't overdo it as the paste can get greasy. Add a bit more icing sugar if it seems too wet. Shape into a ball, then wrap and keep in a cool place until ready to cover the cake. Can be made up to 2 days in advance.
- Lift the cake onto a cake board or plate, then use a pastry brush to cover evenly with a thin layer of jam. Dust the work surface with more icing sugar, then roll the marzipan into a circle about 40cm across, dusting underneath the marzipan with more icing sugar and turning it a quarter turn after every few pushes of the rolling pin.
- Flip the top of the circle back over your rolling pin so you can see the underside of the marzipan, then lift the pin up and lift the marzipan over the cake. Stop once you can see that the edge of the marzipan nearest you is about level with the bottom of the cake. Flop the front of the marzipan down. Smooth the paste over the cake using the palms of your hands, then trim with a sharp knife. If any cracks appear, simply pinch the paste back together and smooth. Leave to dry for at least 24 hrs, or up to 3 days, before covering with icing.
- How long does homemade marzipan keep? Although homemade marzipan contains raw eggs, the amount of sugar, and lack of moisture, prevents bacteria growing when left at room temperature, so your cake should last for 1-2 months iced. The most important thing is that you don't scrimp on drying time - once you've covered your cake in marzipan it should be left to completely dry out, before you then cover it with icing. If you want to make marzipan before you are ready to cover your cake, then wrap it well in cling film and keep in a fridge for up to a week - as wrapped in a ball it will still contain a little moisture. As it contains raw eggs it shouldn't be given to anyone in an at-risk group, including pregnant women, the elderly, the unwell and the very young. You can make a cooked marzipan, which carries no risks. It is a little softer, and harder to work with, but a good substitute if you are at all worried.
