  • 1 piece Orange, fresh

  • 1 piece Lemon, fresh, without shell

  • 150 g Butter, unsalted

  • 60 g Oat bran, raw

  • 80 g Flour, rice

  • 30 g Nuts, almonds

  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

Steps

  1. Place the dried fruit and candied peel in a bowl. Leave raisins or cranberries whole, and cut dried plums, figs, or apricots into pieces. Squeeze lemon and orange juice over the fruit, mix, and let it sit for one hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a 20 cm diameter springform cake pan with butter. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

  3. Mix the butter and sugar well with an electric mixer. Gradually add the eggs one by one into the slightly fluffy mixture.

  4. Grind the oats into flour and mix it with rice flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients with the egg-butter mixture and finally fold in the soaked dried fruit. Pour into the pan and bake for 30 minutes.

  5. Once the cake has cooled slightly, remove it from the pan and take off the parchment paper. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

  6. Meanwhile, heat apricot jam in a small pot and brush it over the cake. Decorate as desired and cut into slices. Serve with additional dried fruit if desired.
