Apricot sponge cake without oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the simplest products. Immediately turn on the oven to preheat at 180 degrees.

2. STEP 2

   

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

3. STEP 3

   

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

4. STEP 4

   

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

5. STEP 5

   

   Flour must be mixed with baking powder and sifted.

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.

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.

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 place the slices on top in a spiral - it will be beautiful. Place the pie in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes. But it’s better 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.

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!

10. STEP 10

    

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