Apricot Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the dried apricots and boiling water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes. Strain the water and using a blender or food processor, puree the apricots until smooth. Add baking soda into the mixture and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed.
- Stir in the apricot mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it and dusting with powdered sugar.
- Serve the apricot cake at room temperature or slightly chilled. You can enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
