Last week I bought 1 kg of apricots. I love them, but I can not eat 1 kg within one day. Usually you don’t have to, because the apricots don’t spoil within a few days. But that's exactly what happened to my apricots. When I wanted to eat a new apricot the next day, I realized that some were spoiled. And I still had so many. So what could I do? I did not want to make jam. And also no liqueur, because I have 2 others in the making. So I decided to bake a cake. I read some recipes in my cookbooks and then decided to make an apricot sprinkle cake.

with baking paper and spread 2/3 of the crumbles on the tray. Press firmly. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, stir the butter and the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one after the other and stir until the mixture is creamy. Add the quark, vanilla essence and vanilla pudding and stir in. Spread the cream over the cake base.
Turn the temperature down to 180°C.
