Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the simplest products. Immediately turn on the oven to preheat at 180 degrees.

Step 2

Step 2
Break the eggs into a deep bowl. A pinch of salt and lightly whisk.

Step 3

Step 3
Now add sugar and beat everything well with a mixer or whisk.

Step 4

Step 4
It is necessary for the mass to increase 3-4 times.

Step 5

Step 5
Flour must be mixed with baking powder and sifted.

Step 6

Step 6
Gradually add flour to our sugar-egg mixture and gently mix in with a spatula. Bottom-up movements. Mix in all the flour this way.

Step 7

Step 7
We take the form in which we will bake the cake. It could be silicone, ceramic, glass, Tiflon... Whatever you like. I have a round ceramic mold with a diameter of 26 centimeters. It needs to be lightly greased with butter and sprinkled with flour — we make the so-called “French shirt”. If you have a silicone mold, you do not need to lubricate it with anything.

Step 8

Step 8
Carefully pour the dough into the mold. Remove the pits from washed and dry apricots and cut them into small segments. We lay the slices on top in a spiral — it will be beautiful. Place the pie in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. But it’s best to keep an eye on the pie, everyone’s oven bakes differently. You can try the preparedness “on a dry splinter”. That is, a splinter or a toothpick should come out dry from the finished pie.

Step 9

Step 9
Here is the finished pie! The aroma is simply amazing! Let it cool a little and transfer to a nice large platter!

Step 10

Step 10
This pie can be prepared with apricots, peaches, plums... Whatever you like.

Step 11

Step 11
Bon appetit!
