Instructions
Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over a low heat then leave to cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together using an electric whisk for a good 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and doubled in volume.
Fold the chocolate into the eggs.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon and grate in some nutmeg.
Fold it all in together as carefully as possible.
Gently stir in the marzipan.
Spoon into a 23 cm (9") sq silicone cake mould or lined tin and bake for 30 minutes at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4).
Leave to cool overnight.
Remove from the mould, cut into 16 squares and press a mini chocolate egg onto the top of each one.
