    When you pour the batter into the 11 x 9 inch pan it seems like the layer of batter is way too thin. Don't worry, the cake rises up beautifully around the apricot halves. The cake is just sweet enough and the crumb is so tender and delicious.

    This came out surprisingly good and was easy to prepare. I only used 120g of sugar and more like 15 small apricots. I first thought that it was way too little dough for the pan.

    very tasty, simple cake when you have fruit to use up. I use only 100 g sugar and it is still plenty sweet for me.

    Lovely, easy cake with fresh apricots. I made in a 9x9 inch pan; used 8 apricots and baked for 40 minutes.

    Loved this! Sweet, simple, delicious. My apricots were only so so, and they baked up beautifully in this cake. I'll add a few more apricots next time.

    Very similar to the standard Austrian apricot cake, just a different method and made with yogurt and oil instead of butter. Perfect for when you have just missed the very short window for eating the fresh fruit fresh on their own. Quick and very easy to make!

    This cake is simple and good. When I sent a picture to my Romanian friend he told me to use twice as many apricots next time and I think that was probably sound advice.

    I had to make this after seeing the photo! Delicious cake, slightly unusual method, but definitely use at least 6 or 8 apricots. The cake puffs beautifully around them.
