How to Prepare the Fluffy Cake with Apricots
Wash the apricots, clean them, and cut them into small pieces. Beat the whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for about 8 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the melted butter and milk to the beaten eggs. Mix. Continue the preparation by adding the sifted flour and baking powder. Mix. Finally, add 2/3 of the apricots and gently mix with a spatula.
Oil or line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper. My pan measures 8.3 x 11 inches. Pour the batter inside and level it with the spatula. Distribute the remaining apricot pieces on the surface.
Now add with the help of a teaspoon many dollops of apricot jam on the surface. Bake the Soft Apricot and Jam Cake in a preheated static oven for 35-40 minutes.
Let it cool before removing it from the pan onto a tray or serving plate and decorate it as you wish with powdered sugar. Then cut it into many squares or as preferred.

The Cake stays soft in a container for 2-3 days
If you prefer, you can replace the butter with 50 ml of vegetable oil and the milk with a pot of plain or apricot yogurt, or simply with plant milk
