Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3/4 cup (6 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (4 1/2 ounces) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) dark brown sugar, loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (6 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces marzipan, chopped in small pieces (almond paste works too)
  • 1 cup chopped toasted cashews
  • 1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) dark chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 9" x 9" baking pan and line with parchment paper. Note: You can either make these in a 9" square pan, or you can use an 8" square pan if you want them to be VERY thick. (Sometimes I put 3/4 of the batter in a thinner layer in an 8" square pan and bake the extra in a standard 9" x 5" loaf pan. Or I make a super thin batch in a 9" x 13" pan! Experiment and just see what you like!)
  • Place the butter and half of the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Microwave until the butter melts, then stir together until the chocolate melts fully. (You can also do this in a saucepan on the stovetop.)
  • Let cool slightly, then add both sugars and whisk until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until both are fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the batter just comes together.
  • Fold in the marzipan, cashews, remaining white chocolate, and dark chocolate.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden and set but still slightly soft in the middle to the touch. (If you're using a larger pan, start checking after 25 minutes.)
  • Let cool fully before slicing.
