And for even more indulgence, don't hesitate to caramelize the bottom of your mold :-) Find all the steps to make this homemade dessert in our written and video version.

Ingredients

• 12 apricots
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla sugar
• 3/4 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup almond meal
• 1/4 cup butter

Materials

• Cake mold (11 inches diameter)

Preparation

• Preheat your oven on grill mode to 350°F. Sprinkle the bottom of your greased mold with brown sugar. Place it under the grill for 5 minutes until it forms a caramel. Remove from the oven.
• Clean the apricots and cut them in half. Remove the pits and place them cut side up on the caramel in the mold.
  
• Mix the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt, and almond meal, and mix well. Finally, add the melted butter.
  
• Pour the batter over the apricots. Smooth the top well.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
  
• Let cool completely before unmolding. There you have it, your apricot cake is ready!

Observations

Caramelized bottom: it's not essential but adds a gourmet touch to the cake.
No almond meal? Replace it with flour.
