Ingredients for 8 pieces
 For wetlands:

  • 60g flour
  • 200g ground almonds (I used raw, minced with blender)
  • 140 g granulated sugar
  • 120g soft butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1tsp baking powder

  • 50g melted butter
  • 450g apricots
  • 50g almonds or whole peeled almonds
  • 2s.l. sugar for sprinkling
Preparation time - 25 minutes

Baking time - 40-50 minutes


Method of preparation:
  1. To prepare marshes, beat two eggs in a bowl with the sugar foam.
  2. Add the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and butter and mix gently. Cake layer is ready, the mixture should look a little liquid.
  3. Preheat oven to 180 C with a fan. Grease a shallow shape with a diameter of 26 cm and detachable bottom. You can use 23 cm and form, but cake you will need a little more cooking and therefore will be higher.
  4. Halve the apricots and remove the pits. If the fruit are larger, cut them into quarters.
  5. Top Arrange apricot halves with the cut side up.
  6. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the apricots become soft, shiny and caramelized, and the dough rise and become brown around the edges.
  8. 10 minutes before removing the cake sprinkle almonds to constipation. Before removing the cake from the form, leave it nice to cool.
Idea: Optionally Serve cake with vanilla ice cream.
