Store or Alter the Chilled Yogurt and Apricot Cake
The chilled apricot cake can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days; this cake is not too sweet. The dessert is delicious even without the topping, and if desired, the apricots can be chopped and added both in the cream and as decoration. Alternatively, you could replace the topping with apricot jam, perhaps enriched with dark chocolate shavings.
Fun Fact
Topping is an English term mainly used in pastry. It is a semi-liquid sauce with various flavors, which can be sweet or savory. It is used as a decoration to garnish a dish, complete a dessert, or diversify ice cream bowls; adding more flavor to each creation, but above all, an aesthetic touch.
