Apricot Almond Cake

The apricot and almond cake is a juicy and tasty fruit cake that allows you to experience a unique experience with every taste. An intense taste of fresh sun-ripened apricots, a harmonious combination with roasted almonds on a slightly crunchy brown sugar caramelized surface. Inside, the cake is tender and moist like no other – a real treat that will enchant any palate.

The apricot almond cake is baked according to a simple and classic recipe. This involves processing the sugar and egg, then adding the liquid ingredients to finish off with the dry ingredients. To ensure this incredible tenderness, yoghurt (preferably apricot flavored) is also added, which more closely resembles the taste of a fruity dessert. The fresh apricots added to batter make the cake fresh, fruity and delicious. The almond taste is supported by using almond flour and almond slices. The almonds, with which the cake is sprinkled, roast during baking and give the cake an even more special and unique taste.

This recipe for this cake is butterless to retain flavor and authenticity but without weighing it down. However, if you prefer a cake that smells and tastes nice like butter, you can replace the olive oil with about 125g of butter (please process at room temperature).
