Cake with dried apricots
Description
It goes wonderfully with tea and coffee. An apricot layer cake is quite easy to make. It needs a whole night to absorb the flavors properly. By the way! You can wrap the cake not only in parchment (baking paper), but also in a plastic bag. Cake decorations can be as varied as you like. Here little mushrooms were baked from dough (there’s a special mold for that). Before serving, for looks and flavor, you can cover the cake with a fresh layer of cream. Good luck. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
