  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 4 Eggs size M
  • 1 tbsp Rum
  • 1 tsp Baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Finely grate the chocolate. Grease a drip pan in the oven and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C (convection: 175 ° C).
  • Wash the apricots, remove the stone and drain on a colander.
  • Mix the butter with sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Stir in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour with baking powder, ground almonds and grated chocolate, stir into the batter with rum. Spread the dough evenly in the prepared drip pan. Distribute the aprcot halves with the curvature upwards, close together on the dough and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

  • Take out and let cool down. Dust lightly with powdered sugar just before serving.
