Svetlana, thanks for such a delicious cake !!!! I would eat dried apricot puree straight and without a cake

Jeanne, please. So, as I saw dried apricots, I got started on the cake.

According to the recipe, the biscuit is baked whole. And I divided the dough into three parts and baked three cakes.

Delicious cake composition, thanks for the recipe!
Sveta, what shape diameter did you take, and what size eggs were you?
And please tell us more about the dough: did you divide the dough into three parts and while the first part was baking, the rest of the dough just stood waiting? It's the same, until the turn came to the third part 1h 40min passed, right? and the biscuit rose well anyway? Or did you put all 3 forms in the oven at once?

According to the recipe, the form is 20. But I did it at 24.
Common eggs.
She baked the cakes separately. And in time one small one bakes faster than a big one. I think about 20 minutes. The dough was on the table.
Well, my cakes were not very high, because the shape was bigger. But from impregnation and cream, they became higher.
