2. Add the egg yolks, butter, sour cream, sugar, vanilla sugar, and zest to the cottage cheese. Grind everything again until smooth in a blender.
Preparing the base for the cake
3. Warm the mass in a water bath or in a saucepan over medium heat, without letting it boil. The mass will become more liquid, which is quite normal. Let it cool slightly and add the finely chopped dried apricots.
