Instructions
Instructions for Easy Skyr Cake
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt.
- Crack the egg into the mixture and add the skyr. Stir everything well until you have a smooth and thick batter.
- Grease a baking pan and pour three-quarters of the batter into it, spreading it evenly. Spread a generous layer of apricot jam on top.
- Crumble the remaining batter over the jam and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes. If the top starts browning too much, cover it lightly with foil. Once done, let it cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a stronger almond flavor, add a few drops of almond extract.
- If you don’t have skyr, Greek yogurt works just as well.
- Swap apricot jam with your favorite flavor – strawberry, raspberry, or even fig!
- Want extra indulgence? Drizzle a little honey on top before serving.
