Fresh Apricot Cake

This season, I’m all about this Apricot Cake topped with piles of fresh apricot halves. A crumbly, soft cake base made with butter, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, the usual eggs, flour, baking powder and salt and a touch of cinnamon for something special.

I love the idea of topping a cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch that makes your cake look more professional.

To make Fresh Apricot Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Fresh Apricot Cake

1	Preheat oven and prepare baking tray	1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and generously grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
2	Puree apricots	2
In a food processor, blend 1 pound of pitted apricots with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth and combined.
3	Chop apricots	1
Chop the remaining 1 pound of fresh apricots into quarters and set aside.
4	Combine butter and sugar	4
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat ½ cup of butter with ¾ cup of sugar for about 4-5 minutes until creamy, light and fluffy.
5	Add eggs	4
Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, and continue beating to combine.
6	Add vanilla	1
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
7	Add dry ingredients	3
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon of salt then pour into the wet ingredients bowl and beat until everything is just combined.
8	Add apricot puree	2
Add the prepared apricot puree and mix again to combine into the batter.
9	Add topping	3
Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan and smooth over the top. Place the apricot quarters evenly over the cake.
10	Bake	55
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is fully baked.
11	Serve
Allow to cool before dusting with powdered sugar for serving.
