What could be tastier than a delicate airy sponge cake with honey aroma and fresh apricot pieces! This sponge honey cake can be made for an afternoon snack or served as a dessert after lunch or dinner.
It is necessary
- - 500 g fresh apricots;
- - 230 g flour;
- - 150 g butter;
- - 100 g of natural honey;
- - 5 eggs;
- - 2 teaspoons of lemon juice;
- - 1 teaspoon lemon zest;
- - 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse fresh apricots, cut them in half and remove the pits.
Step 2
Whisk softened butter with honey and powdered sugar. Separate the yolks from the whites (you need to take the eggs at room temperature!), Add the yolks to the butter, beat for a couple more minutes.
Step 3
Mix the flour with the baking powder, add to the honey-butter mass, mix again.
Step 4
Beat the egg whites and lemon juice separately until a thick foam forms, add to the dough and knead.
Step 5
Pre-cover the form with baking paper, and coat the sides with oil. Place the dough in it. Arrange the apricot halves on top, cut down. It is better to take a mold with a diameter of 26 cm for this amount of dough.
Step 6
Bake the pie 35 minutes at 190 degrees. Focus on your oven - the apricot sponge honey cake can be prepared sooner or later. After that, cool it, remove it from the mold, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
