This recipe features apricot jam, which adds a touch of freshness and a wonderful flavor. I will guide you step by step to achieve a perfect result, and at the end, I will provide you with some serving suggestions and variations. Ingredients: - 280 g flour - 200 g butter (at room temperature) - 50 g powdered sugar (for the dough) - 140 g powdered sugar (for the glaze) - 3 eggs (at room temperature) - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - A pinch of salt - 200 g apricot jam Step 1: Prepare the ingredients Make sure the butter is at room temperature so it can be easily creamed with the sugar. This is an essential trick to achieve a fluffy foam. Also, have all your measured ingredients ready at hand so you don't waste time. Step 2: Creaming the butter In a large bowl, add the 200 g of butter, 50 g of powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Use an electric mixer on medium speed and cream the mixture for 2 minutes until it becomes creamy and airy. This step is crucial as the incorporated air helps the dessert rise during baking. Step 3: Adding the eggs Add the 3 egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. It is important that the eggs are at room temperature as this helps to homogenize the mixture. You will notice how the mixture becomes thicker and more uniform. Step 4: Incorporating the flour Sift the flour to avoid lumps. Gradually add the flour to the butter and egg mixture, gently folding with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is well incorporated. Avoid overmixing as the dessert may become dense. Step 5: Preparing the pan Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking tray (about 20x30 cm) by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter and sprinkling a little flour. This will prevent the dessert from sticking. Step 6: Adding the jam Pour half of the dough mixture into the tray, smoothing it out evenly. Then, add the apricot jam in an even layer. You can use your favorite jam, but apricots offer a distinctive flavor. Cover with the remaining dough, ensuring that the jam is completely hidden. Step 7: Baking Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cake is golden and passes the toothpick test. Let the dessert cool in the tray for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Step 8: The glaze In a small bowl, mix 140 g of powdered sugar with lemon juice until you achieve a smooth glaze. This will add a sweet layer and a pleasant acidity that balances the sweetness of the jam. Pour the glaze over the cooled dessert and let it set. Serving suggestions: Cut the cake into squares and serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. For a touch of elegance, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Possible variations: Replace the apricot jam with plum jam or a mix of berries for an explosion of flavors. Additionally, you can add chopped nuts or ground almonds to the dough for a crunchy texture. This simple apricot jam dessert recipe is perfect for any occasion and will surely be appreciated by everyone who tastes it. Enjoy every bite and impress your guests with this easy-to-make treat!
