- 6.3 ounces (180g) white chocolate, finely chopped, divided
- 6 ounces (170g) unsalted butter
- 10.6 ounces (300g) light brown sugar

- 3.5 ounces (100g) marzipan, cut into small chunks

Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease and line an 18cm (7-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- Place half of the white chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until golden. Pour over the white chocolate and let sit for one minute before stirring until smooth.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Stir the light brown sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
- Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients:
- Gently fold half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the remaining flour.
- Stir in marzipan chunks, remaining white chocolate, and sprinkles.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and slightly soft in the center.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serving:
- Once cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is finely chopped for even melting.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture soft and chewy.
- Cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Substitute marzipan with almond paste if marzipan is unavailable, adjusting sugar accordingly.
