I made a marzipan that feels softer than a macaroons. The dough is thick with chocolate and mixed with meringues so the texture is soft. Sponge marzipan has its own charm, but the light chocolate cake is also soft and delicious to eat. If you put it in the fridge, you can enjoy a more intense flavor.
