Apricot Cake In a Glass

As you might have seen in my insta stories we have different fruit trees, one of which is an apricot tree. Do you remember the last batch it gaves us? 3 whole pans of apricots!

So after we gave some away I used some of the rest to create a Cake in a Glass recipe with an Apricot Cake and apricot Custard

Turns out there is nothing more amazing than apricot desserts in the middle of the Summer

Let's create together the recipe!

For the Apricot Custard:

300gr apricots without the pit

3gr lemon juice

450ml milk

100gr sugar

Vanilla

60gr corn flour

50gr butter

Blend the apricots

Heat them in a pan with lemon juice

Strain and then transfer the juice in the pan with the sugar and 300ml milk until really hot.

In a bowl whisk 100ml milk, 60gr corn flour, and vanilla paste.

Slowly add the hot milk mixture while whisking. Transfer back in the pan and heat on medium high while whisking until the pudding thickens.

Remove from heat, add the cold butter and whisk until it is fully incorporated.

Let it cool down in the fridge while you prepare the cake.

For the Cake:

Mix:

6 egg yolks

100gr warm apricot pudding

3gr Vanilla paste

1/4 tsp salt

On a stand mixer with the balloon attachment whisk on high until foamy.

Add a splash of lemon juice and keep mixing. Add 100gr sugar in doses and mix until there are hard peaks like a meringue.

Fold the meringue in the egg yolk mixture in 3 doses.

Then sift and fold in 100gr flour and 3gr baking powder.

Transfer to a parchment-lined pan and bake at 190C for 30 mins or until golden brown.

Meanwhile prepare the Syrup;

Boil 75gr sugar, 100gr water and half lemon (no whisking).

Remove from heat and let it cool.

Back to the cake:

After it browns, turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door open for 30 minutes.

Then transfer on a cooling rack and let it cool down.

Cut the cake in rounds that suit your glasses.

Add the first cake round to one glass and syrup it, then add pudding, another syruped cake round , more pudding and top with apricot pieces. Syrup the apricot pieces and the top of the pudding carefully.

Do the same with the rest and let them cool in the fridge.

Enjoy!
