Name: Spoon cake with apricots: a quick dessert without weighing and with a crunchy crumble
Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 8 heaping tablespoons of plain (medium) flour; 10 tablespoons of milk; 4 tablespoons of sugar; 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil; 1 egg; ½ packet of baking powder; apricots sliced into crescents (can be replaced with other seasonal fruit); 70 g medium-ground flour; 50 g granulated or cane sugar; 50 g cold butter, diced; butter and coarse flour (or baking paper)

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven and prepare the pan Set the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat). Grease and dust a 28 cm round pan, or line it with baking paper.
Mix the batter In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, add sugar, milk, melted butter (or oil) and the egg. Whisk until smooth and slightly runny. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface.
Add the fruit Arrange the apricot slices densely over the batter. If using very juicy fruit, you can pat them dry slightly.
Crumble Quickly rub the flour, sugar and cold butter with your fingertips into crumbs. Sprinkle it evenly over the cake.
Baking Bake for about 30 minutes at 180 °C, until the surface is golden. Test with a skewer — after pulling it out it should be dry (watch out, it may touch the fruit).
Serving Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then cut into pieces. Serve plain, with yogurt, or with sour cream.

Total preparation time: 45–55 minutes

Number of servings: 10–12 pieces

Tips and variations

The versatile base also works with blueberries, plums, currants or apples with cinnamon.
Want a more pronounced flavor? Add a teaspoon of vanilla sugar or a little lemon zest to the batter.
If you use very juicy fruit, you can lightly dust the surface of the batter with a teaspoon of starch – the cake will stay firmer.
