Ingredients
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups corn oil
200 ml milk
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Zest of 1 orange
250 g apricot jam
50 g Brazil nuts
50 g cashews
50 g toasted almonds
1 coffee spoon cinnamon

Preparation method
1. Start by beating the eggs, sugar and corn oil in a beater until the mixture is homogenous and light in color. A little at a time, add the milk and flour, followed by the orange zest and cinnamon. Incorporate the baking powder by stirring delicately throughout all the batter so that it rises evenly.
2. It’s time to add the nuts! Coarsely chop the nuts and stir a little of each, to your liking, into the batter to add a crunchy and nutritious touch. Transfer to a greased cake pan and bake in the oven at 170 ºC (350 ºF) for 30 minutes. Ideally, test with a toothpick to be sure the cake is fully cooked.
3. While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the remaining nuts with the apricot jam in a bowl, creating a perfect contrast of textures.
4. Set aside. Take the cake out of the oven, unmold it and wait for it to cool before spreading the nut and jam mixture over it.

You will then have a work of art worthy of a professional pastry chef! A combination of flavor and texture with a sophisticated presentation for a special occasion or an everyday treat. Enjoy every slice of this treat!
