Quick apricot cake

How to make Quick apricot cake recipe - Preparation time: approx. 15 minutes (plus baking time)

Makes 6 slices

Ingredients:
350 g apricot halves (tinned)
100 g cold butter
1 egg
50 g sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar
125 g flour
25 g cornflour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground almonds
butter for the baking tin

Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Grease a springform (18 cm diameter) with butter. Drain the apricots and cut into slices.

Cut the butter into pieces. Put the egg with the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar into a bowl. Mix the flour with the cornflour and baking powder and sieve into the butter mixture. Knead to form a crumble dough.

Put about two-thirds of the dough into the springform, press down and form a small rim. Scatter over the ground almonds. Distribute the apricot slices over the cake and then sprinkle the rest of the dough as crumble over the top. Bake on the middle shelf for approx. 30 minutes.

Variation:
If you have enough time and it is the right season, you can use fresh apricots instead of tinned fruit.
