  • 3 TABLESPOONS Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 TEASPOON grated fresh ginger
  • 375 g Apricot Jam

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the fat and let it cool down again a little. Separate eggs. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanillin sugar and lemon zest in a hot water bath to a thick white cream. Remove from the water bath and sieve the flour onto the egg mixture.

  2. 2

    Add lukewarm fat slowly and mix everything carefully. Beat the egg white until stiff. Stir 1/3 carefully into the egg cream. Then fold in the rest loosely. Put the sponge mixture on a greased baking tray (35x40 cm) and smooth it down.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 175°/ gas: level 2) for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray. Place apricots in portions briefly in boiling water, rinse with cold water and remove the skin with a knife.

  4. 4

    Halve the apricots and remove the stone. Drain the pineapple well on a sieve. Wash the grapes thoroughly and dab dry. Pluck the berries from the stalks and cut them in half once (remove seeds as desired).

  5. 5

    Soak gelatine in cold water. Whip the cream until stiff (tip: best not to whip everything at once, but in 2-3 portions). Add sugar and vanillin sugar. Stir in ginger at the end.

  6. 6

    Dissolve the gelatine and add to the ginger cream while stirring. Spread the cream loosely on the sponge cake. Heat apricot jam while stirring and pass through a sieve. Mix the fruit and spread on the cream.

  7. 7

    Spread the lukewarm jam over it with a spoon or brush. Chill the cake for about 1 hour. Makes about 20 pieces.
