Today I'll give you some impressions from my new Apricot Cake creation, prepared during our summer holidays in Umbria (Italy) . We enjoyed it next to our wonderful pool! It's easy to prepare, so try it and enjoy your life!
The dough
100 g powderd! sugar (important for a really crispy dough)
200 g soft butter
300 g floor (Type 405)
1 egg
1 tsp. abricots liqueur
1 pinch salt
100 g almond paste
Put all the ingredients above in a bowl and prepare the dough, roll out into a baking pan and put it for a minimum of 2 hours into the fridge.
The topping
500 g fresh , very ripe and sweet apricots
50 g sugar (the quantity depends on the sweetness of the apricots)
150 ml rose water
1 Vanille bean
1 pinch salt
let all ingredients simmer in a kettle until you've got a pastry texture, roll out the almond paste and put it on the cold dough first and the fruit preparation afterwards.
Place the cake into the preheated oven (170 C) and bake it. (30 - 45 minutes)
