Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the egg and sugar. Whisk quickly for a few minutes.
  2. Add the zest and juice of one organic lemon.
  3. Whisk again and pour in the sunflower oil and milk.
  4. Gradually stir in the sifted flour and baking powder, mixing well with a whisk until smooth.
  5. Wash and dry the apricots. Cut them in half and remove the pit.
  6. Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Pour the mixture into the baking pan and level it with a spatula.
  7. Place the apricots on top of the cake, curved side up. Bake in a static oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes. The cake should not be very golden and the final texture of the cake should be moist and soft. In fact, when tested with a toothpick, the cake should not come out completely dry, but some crumbs should stick out.
  8. Allow the apricot cake to cool, then dust with icing sugar. Cut the cake into squares so that there is an apricot on each portion.
