Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 11 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 8 apricots fresh or canned
- 3 cups farmers cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup Potato Starch
Instructions
- Pull the butter out of the fridge and let it soften at room temperature.
- Using a fork, combine the butter with 1/3 cup sugar. Whisk in three eggs.
- Add the flour and baking powder into the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Grab an 11-inch wide baking dish. Place the dough in the center. Using your fingers, work the dough to cover the inside of the baking dish, creating a deep dish crust.
- Cut the apricots in half and place them flesh side down at the bottom of the dish.
- Whisk 3 eggs until smooth. Add farmers cheese and potato starch into the beaten eggs. Whisk or beat with a mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup sugar until you get stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the farmers cheese mixture.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the top of the apricots.
- Bake at 350°F for 60-75 minutes. Test doneness by touching the center. It should be on the firm side. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
