Apricot cake recipe

Rezept drucken
This fluffy apricot cake recipe from the tray is one of our favorite recipes in the family, which we regularly request from my mother-in-law, especially in summer.

Kochutensilien

  • INGREDIENTS (For a baking tray measuring 25x35 cm)

Zutaten

  • 6 medium eggs or 5 large eggs
  • 250 g coarse-ground flour - Coarse-ground flour is slightly coarser than all-purpose flour or plain flour. This makes the cake a little fluffier. The term “coarse-grained flour” is mainly used in Austria. In Germany it is sometimes also available as type 1050, dumpling flour or spaetzle flour. If you don't have any coarse-grained flour available, the cake will also work with all-purpose or plain flour.
  • 200 g sugar
  • 250 g butter or margarine/thea
  • 1 pkg. vanilla sugar 1 teaspoon, approx. 7 g
  • ½ pkg. baking powder 8 g
  • Approx. 10 apricots halved

Anleitung

  • Weigh all the ingredients.
  • Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks in 2 separate bowls.
  • Beat the egg yolks with the room-warm butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy - in other words, mix until the color becomes lighter.
  • Mix the flour and baking powder well in a bowl. Then sieve into the mixture and stir in by the spoonful - in other words, do not add everything to the mixture at once, but keep mixing well in between.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff (until the peaks stand up). Fold into the batter (do not overmix, do not mix any more).
  • Pour onto a baking tray lined with baking paper or into a cake tin. Smooth out with a dough scraper or similar.
  • Top with halved apricots and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 55 minutes. In the picture here, the cake was made with frozen apricots.
  • When the cake comes away from the edge, this is also a sign that it is ready!

Notizen

Grandma's tip: freeze apricots already halved - If you halve apricots during the season, you can bake this cake quickly and easily all year round! You don't need to defrost the apricots for topping, you can use them straight away.
