Yogurt and Apricot Cake
To prepare a delicious apricot cake, we start by organizing the necessary ingredients and utensils. Make sure you have fresh eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, oil, yogurt, flour, baking soda, and of course, juicy and aromatic apricots on hand. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius so that it is ready to bake the cake as soon as the mixture is ready.
The first step in making this cake is to separate the eggs. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the sugar and vanilla sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes firm and shiny, and the sugar is completely dissolved. This is the perfect base for a fluffy cake. Then, add the egg yolks one by one, mixing constantly to ensure even integration.
Once the yolks are well incorporated, you can start adding the oil. It is important to add the oil one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a fine and airy texture. Follow with the yogurt and vanilla essence, mixing gently but constantly to avoid losing the air in the mixture.
After all the wet ingredients are well integrated, it is time to add the flour. Sifting the flour together with the baking soda will help prevent lumps from forming. Gently mix until you achieve a homogeneous mixture, but be careful not to overmix to avoid affecting the cake's texture.
Prepare the baking pan, using a 24 cm round one, lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the sides with oil to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan, leveling the surface with a spatula. Arrange the apricot quarters over the entire surface of the mixture, making sure to gently embed them into the batter.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and let the cake bake for about 40 minutes. Check if it is done by doing the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly baked. Once it is ready, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an attractive appearance and a sweet touch.
This apricot cake is not only tasty but also fragrant, making it perfect to enjoy with loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
