Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes
Beat the marzipan with half the sugar, vanilla seeds, salt, and egg yolks until fluffy. Beat the egg whites and then drizzle in the remaining sugar. Fold into the marzipan mixture. Mix the flour with the cornstarch, sift, and fold in. Carefully stir in the baking chocolate and pour the batter into a 26cm cake tin. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (350°F) with fan/convection oven. Remove the cake from the tin and allow to cool. Once cold, melt the chocolate coating in a bain-marie. Add the sherry and stir until the chocolate glaze forms a completely smooth layer. Spread the glaze over the cake.
