bake, bake a cake ….

Today some very dear regular guests brought me frozen apricots from their garden and so after the usual Saturday work I quickly made an apricot cake for Sunday.

I’m happy to share the recipe online, I

received it from an intern who was at our farm a few years ago and she loved making pastries:

25 dag butter, 25 dag sugar, 5 whole eggs, 30 dag flour, rum, vanilla sugar, baking powder, apricots.

• Beat butter until fluffy, add sugar and eggs alternately
• Fold in flour
• Spread on a greased and floured baking sheet
• Top with apricot halves.
• Bake at 175 degrees
• At the end you can add flaked almonds on top and bake for the last few minutes.
• This recipe works for all kinds of fruit, cherries, blueberries, etc.

AND …. this week a very special event series begins in Gastein – FOOD:MOAKT – I also want to tell you about it in my farm stories, because it simply makes you happy when the tourism association offers collaborations between food producers and gastronomy. Tradition meets urban, time-honoured meets new, Gastein meets its guests!

The Gastein FOOD:MOAKT invites you on 4 Thursdays in February to experience and enjoy the best Gastein foods. Dishes are prepared from basic products of local producers according to traditional recipes, interpreted in a modern way, and served with the right drink.

Good luck with the apricot cake, have fun at the Food Moakt and above all a lovely Sunday! Katharina from Zittrauerhof
