Instructions:
-
Preparation: 🥣 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a 7 x 11 brownie pan with your favorite pie pastry, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
-
Layering: 🥧 Spread a thin layer of seedless raspberry jam over the unbaked pastry, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
-
Batter Preparation: 🥚🧁 In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 eggs until fluffy and well combined. Then, add 2/3 cup of rice flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
-
Divide and Color: 🎨 Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. In one bowl, add green food coloring to achieve the desired hue, mixing until fully incorporated. In another bowl, add red food coloring, creating a pleasing pink shade. Leave the third portion of batter uncolored, maintaining its pristine white appearance.
-
Marbling: 🌀 Using a tablespoon, dot each colored batter atop the layer of raspberry jam-covered pastry, creating a marbling effect by alternating colors and distributing them evenly.
-
Baking: 🕒 Place the prepared pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling: ❄️ Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the marzipan squares to cool thoroughly in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Frosting: 🎂 While the squares are cooling, prepare the frosting by blending the remaining 1/4 cup of butter, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of almond flavoring, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Finishing Touch: 🍰 Once the squares have cooled completely, spread the creamy frosting evenly over the top of the cake, adding a delectable finishing touch.
-
Serving: 🍽️ Carefully cut the marzipan squares into small, bite-sized pieces, and serve them to your eager guests, delighting in the sweet nostalgia of this classic recipe.
Enjoy your trip down memory lane with these delightful Marzipan Squares 1968! 😊🎉
