Grease a cake pan (22 cm Ø ) well and place an almond in each groove of the pan. Cut the apricots into small pieces. Stir the fat until creamy. Gradually add sugar, eggs, lemon juice and zest.
Stir in quark Mix flour and baking powder and stir in portions. Fold apricots, chopped almonds and vanilla flavouring into the dough and carefully fill into the tin and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200°C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 1 hour.
Allow the cake to cool briefly in the mould, turn out onto a cake rack and let it cool down. Dust with icing sugar. Whipped cream tastes good with it.
