Step 5: Fold the whites into the egg yolk mixture, combine gently
Step 6: Turn the cake batter onto the prepared pan, spreading it evenly right out to the edges
Step 7: Bake in 350f for 15-20 minutes or until the cake springs back when you touch it
Step 8: Immediately loosen the edges and turn the cake onto a clean tea towel, remove the paper very carefully and cool the cake
Step 9: Whip the cream until stiff, adding 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Step 10: When the cake is cool cut out irreguler shapes about the size and shape of fried eggs
Step 11: Arrange the cake pieces on a large platter, spread apricot preserve on each cake piece, cover with whipped cream and top each piece with a half apricot. They should now look like a platter of fried eggs
