Lemon Halfmoons

• Cake
• 2/3 cup soft butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 vanilla pod
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 lemon, zested
• 3 ounces marzipan
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• Frosting
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Yellow food coloring

1. Start by mixing sugar, butter, marzipan, lemon zest and maple syrup at low speed with a mixer until you have a smooth mass.
2. The add the lemon juice and the eggs one at a time - giving each egg time to froth a bit.
3. Finally add the flour mixed with baking powder.
4. Scrap into round pan and bake for 20-30 minutes at 200 C.
5. While it bakes make a frosting of 150 grams confectioners sugar and lemon juice - I used the juice of about three quarter of a lemon - adding a bit of yellow food color for an authentic look.
6. Let cake cool and then frost it and drizzle a bit of lemon zest on top - cut in half.
