Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in the microwave in 30‑second bursts until smooth. Leave to cool for a few minutes. Line a 20cm square (or other cake tin that fits in the air fryer) with baking parchment.

Heat the air fryer to 180°C. Tear the hot cross bun into small chunks then tip into the air fryer basket and cook for 3‑4 mins until crunchy and golden. Tip into a bowl and lower the air fryer temperature to 160°C.

Whisk together the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl using electric beaters until thick and creamy. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder, then pour in the melted chocolate mixture. Using a spatula gently fold until evenly mixed, then stir in the hot cross buns, chopped chocolate and marzipan, if using.
