Apricot Cake


Ingredients:

1 package of margarine
9 eggs
3 cups of sugar
1 package of baking powder
300 g of flour
200 g of dried apricots
1 cup of poppy seeds
1 cup of nuts

Dough:
Cream 1 package of margarine with 1 cup (250 ml) of sugar.
Add 8 egg yolks one at a time, along with 300 g of flour (I used a bit more) and 0.5 package of baking powder (I had a 12 g package).
Divide the dough into 3 parts.

Meringue:
Beat 8 egg whites with 450 g of sugar (I used 2 full 250 g cups). Soak 200 g of dried apricots in boiling water and let sit for 1 hour.
Then divide the apricots into 2 parts and spread them over the dough.
Pour the meringue on top.
Bake for 1 hour at 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Soak 1 cup of ground poppy seeds, add 1 egg and 0.5 package of baking powder.
Spread this mixture over the dough and pour the meringue on top.
Bake for 50 minutes. Grind 1 cup of nuts and soak in 1 cup of hot milk.
Cover and let cool.
Spread this mixture over the dough and pour the meringue on top.
Bake for 1 hour. (I didn’t soak the nuts; I just spread them on the dough.)

Frosting:
1 can of sweetened condensed milk + 200 g of butter.
