Fruit cake with apricots and plums in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Eggs and butter should be at room temperature, so take them out of the refrigerator in advance. It is better to get the butter in 2-3 hours so that it completely thaws not only from the outside, but also inside. I've been getting butter since the evening. Use flour of the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Combine eggs with sugar and beat with a mixer until fluffy foam. If desired, in addition to the usual sugar, you can add another 1/2 tsp. vanilla sugar.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add soft butter at room temperature and whisk again. It is not worth beating for a long time to achieve uniformity - you will not achieve it anyway, and you can beat the eggs very much and the dough will not rise as needed.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and sift into the dough directly. Mix everything with a mixer at low speed.

5. Step 5:

   

   You should get a soft fragrant homogeneous dough.

6. Step 6:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the filling. You can use any fruit to taste: apples, pears, peaches, nectarines. I took an assortment of apricots and plums. In addition to apricots, I also took plums for sourness. Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly.

7. Step 7:

   

   Mix sugar with cinnamon.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cut the apricots in half and remove the seeds. You can leave the fruit in the form of halves or cut them into quarters.

10. Step 9:

    

    Also remove the seeds from the plums and cut the pulp into slices.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the dough in a baking dish lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil. The diameter of the mold can be used from 20 to 26 cm. The smaller the diameter of the mold, the higher your pie will be. I have a diameter of 20 cm.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the plums and apricots on the dough. You can just evenly pour the fruit mixture on top or make a certain pattern.

13. Step 12:

    

    Sprinkle the fruit with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top. Put the pie in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 40-45 minutes. The exact time depends on the characteristics of your oven. If the fruit starts to darken and the dough is not ready yet, cover the mold with foil.

14. Step 13:

    

    Remove the finished pie from the oven, cool slightly and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
