Beat the egg whites and add some sugar at a time. Add this cream to the dough and then add also the flour. Pour the dough into a previously buttered and floured cake tin, level the surface with a spatula and cook in a pre-heated oven to 170°C for 35/40 minutes. Take out of oven and reverse the cake on a grate for sweet. When it becomes cool cut in two diskes. Fill one disk with apricot jam, then overlap with the other. Spread the jam also over all surface od the cake, both the sides.
