How to make
Oven - 360°F (180°C); A round cake tin with a ring, greased and covered with baking paper.
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat them with a mixer, until a white mixture is obtained. Add the sour cream, olive oil, vanilla and salt. Beat just until the ingredients are well combined. Add the flour and baking powder through a sieve.
Beat lightly with a mixer, until the products are mixed.
Cut half of the apricots into large cubes and the others into halves.
Half of the mixture is poured into the cake tin, the apricot cubes are randomly distributed on top, poured with the remaining mixture, leveled out and the apricot halves are placed on top, but with their sunken side up - in a circle. If they are not enough, some more apricots are added. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar.
Bake at 360°F (180°C) for about 40-45 minutes without a fan. When the fruit cake is ready and baked, take it out and leave it to cool for about 20 minutes and remove it from the cake tin. Cool it completely.
Topping:
Place the remaining apricots in a blender along with the sugar and blend them into a puree.
The baked cake is sprinkled with a little powdered sugar, it is cut into cake pieces and poured with the topping of blended apricots.
The easy cake with apricots is ready.
Note: An unpretentious cake, that can be sprinkled with nuts on top, such as sliced almonds or hazelnuts. It is not necessary to make an apricot sauce, the cake is juicy and moist enough.
The original recipe is with strawberries, but due to the lack of them at the moment, I made it with apricots. It can also be prepared with peaches or other fresh fruit.
