Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Base
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Add the Skyr
Incorporate skyr into the mixture gradually. Stir energetically until you achieve a smooth dough consistency without lumps.
Incorporate Eggs
Crack two eggs into the mixture. Mix thoroughly until the eggs are completely integrated into the dough.
Prepare the Apricots
Rinse the apricots under running water, remove the pits, and cut them in half. Set aside for later use.
Combine Ingredients
Gently fold the prepared apricots into the dough mixture. Be careful to maintain the shape of the fruit while mixing.
Transfer to Baking Dish
Grease a baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper. Pour the dough evenly into the dish, spreading it out to ensure a uniform layer.
Bake the Cake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Skyr Alternatives
If skyr is unavailable, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for a similar texture and taste.
Fruit Variations
Feel free to experiment with other fruits such as peaches or plums if apricots are not in season.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Serving Suggestions
This cake pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
