Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan and sprinkle with flour. Beat the butter, marzipan, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and a pinch of salt until creamy.

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer. Stir in the cream, then the melted chocolate. Spread over the cake. Mix the milk and dark chocolate sprinkles and sprinkle over the cake. Chill for 30 mins.
Just before serving, fill the hole with chocolate eggs.
