Upside-down Apricot Einkorn Cake with Thyme and Almonds


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Made with seasonal apricots, freshly milled einkorn flour, almonds and kefir, this refined sugar free, moist upside down cake is easy to whip up for a tea time treat with family and friends. To serve, simply drizzle the cake with some maple syrup, but it also goes perfectly with a simple vanilla pudding or whipped cream.

  • 800 g Homemade apricot halves in honey syrup, drained
  • 40 g Almonds, chopped
  • 250 g Einkorn berries, ground into flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 175 g Butter, softened
  • 100 g Coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp Fresh lemon thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs, at room-temperature
  • 200 ml Kefir
  • Maple syrup to serve
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9-10 inch springform pan and line the base with baking paper. Well drain the apricot halves. Arrange, cut-side down, over base of prepared pan. Sprinkle the chopped almonds between apricot halves.
  2. Whisk together the ground einkorn flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat butter, coconut sugar, lemon thyme leaves and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine.
  3. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture in three batches alternately with the kefir in two batches, beginning and ending with flour. Pour the batter over apricots and spread with a spatula to cover apricots and smooth top. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 10 minutes. Carefully turn cake out onto a serving plate. Garnish with extra lemon thyme leaves and drizzle with maple syrup.

  83. Hi Angie, what I love about this cake is of course the fruit! Love fruit cakes but it does not have refined ingredients which makes it not to sweet and a healthy alternative to enjoying dessert.
    Hope your summer is going well.

  90. @Choclette BloggerI bought a miller a few years ago and I have milled my own wholegrain flour since then.

  91. Kefir, yogurt and buttermilk make cakes super moist! This looks so delicious I would love to have a piece right now!

  92. Love the generous chucks of apricots in this upside down cake! With apricots and thyme, your kitchen must be subtly scented with perfumy aroma while baking.
