A cake for a loved one
My favorite surprised me in the most beautiful way, she bought a puuuuuno of sweet apricots… And I, I decided to give it back in an equally beautiful way: with this light, summery and refreshing, in short: too good cake! P.S. Now you are just wondering who is the Favorite ?! My favorite is the second name of my very good friend, mother :) :) :)
Preparation steps
- BISCUIT
- Mix egg yolks, sugar, oil and grated rind of half a lemon.
- Gradually add milk and flour sifted with baking powder.
- Finally, lightly stir in the egg whites.
- Bake at 160 - 170 degrees for 30 min.
- CREAM
- Cook apricots with sugar in a liter of water for about 10 minutes (be careful not to fall apart too much).
- Strain, but save the water and peel the apricots.
- Return 1/3 of the apricots to the filtered water and strain everything (it is best to use a stick mixer). Arrange the rest of the apricots on the biscuit.
- Bring the water to a boil again and stir in the pudding (we have previously stirred the powder into a couple of tablespoons of cold water and gradually poured in and mixed quickly to avoid the formation of lumps).
- Pour the hot cream over the biscuits.
- Put the cooled cake in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Serving
And finally… I was thinking about what to pour over the cake. As option no. 1: classic would be whipped sweet cream; no. 2: thicken a part of the biscuit dough with flour, grate it and put it in the oven for a short time, then sprinkle it over the cake with these “crumbs”; no. 3: make a sheet / crust of whipped egg whites and sugar (as for puslice, dry in the oven) and place it over the cake; no. 4: cottage cheese mixed with a little sweet cream and sugar to taste and well worked out with a mixer into a smooth mixture… But then I decided, I won’t put anything! The biscuit is exquisite, and the apricot cream is too refreshing and I don't want to "underestimate" their taste with anything;)
