Cooking steps

1. For the test: mix grated marzipan with one egg. Combine room temperature butter (120 g) with sugar (100 g). Combine the marzipan and butter-sugar mixture, stir, and add 2 more eggs.

2. Combine all dry ingredients (150 g of wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, half a vanilla stick) for the dough. Sift through a sieve and gently fold into the dough with a spatula.

4. Place the dough in a greased and floured pan. Top with black currants and sprinkle with a little sugar. Then crumble the topping and bake the pie in the oven (160 degrees) for 45-50 minutes — 'until a toothpick comes out clean'.
