Soft summer cake with peaches, apricots and kefir
This soft cake with peaches and apricots is perfectly summery as it is delicate and full of seasonal fruit pieces. The batter is without butter. I use vegetable oil which is enriched with kefir which makes the cake light and delicious. The diced fruit does not fall to the bottom of the pan, but fills the whole cake perfectly. Furthermore, the cake is covered with granulated sugar which melts during baking and creates a thin, sweet and slightly crunchy layer. This layer of sugar allows you not to have to cover the cake with powdered sugar, which in addition to the fact that it disappears with the humidity of the fruit, is also not very aesthetic if you have to give your cake to relatives, friends or bring it for outdoor parties.
