ALMOND APRICOT SQUARES

Mandelrutor med aprikoser

14 oz almond paste

4 eggs

0.2 cup flour

1½ teaspoon baking powder

1 can apricot halves, approx 14 oz

2.6 oz dark baking chocolate

Preheat oven to 347F.

Roughly grate the almond paste and put in a bowl. Add the eggs, one by one, while beating vigorously until the batter is fluffy and airy. Mix flour with baking powder and stir it into the batter. Pour in a greased, floured roasting pan, approx 8 x 10 inches, and bake on a rack in the lower part of the oven for about 25 minutes. 

Drain the apricots. Take out the pan and place the apricot halves over the cake. Put back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the cake is nicely colored and a tester comes out dry. Leave in the pan for a while before unmoulding and is allowed to cool.

Melt the chocolate over a waterbath or in the microwave. Drizzle the chocolate over the cake and cut in squares.

Enjoy!
