HAZELNUT FRANGIPANE TART WITH APRICOTS
Steps:
- Press dough into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch round tart pan with removable bottom, about 1/4 inch thick. Patch, if necessary. Trim excess dough flush with rim. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line shell with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Rotate shell, and remove parchment and weights. Bake until bottom is crisp and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F.
- Pulse 1/3 cup hazelnuts in a food processor until finely ground. Stir together ground hazelnuts, flour, and salt. With an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until pale and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in egg. Add hazelnut mixture, and beat until just combined. Frangipane can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
- Spoon frangipane into tart shell, and smooth with an offset spatula. Let stand 10 minutes. Bake until set, about 15 minutes. If edges brown too quickly, cover with a foil ring (see page 324). Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
- Peel apricots (see page 343); cut in half, and remove pits. Just before serving, beat cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form; whisk in crème fraîche. Spread over frangipane. Arrange 7 apricot halves, cut side down, around edge. Cut remaining apricot half into thirds and arrange in center.
- Heat jam in a saucepan over medium-low until loose. Stir in lemon juice, and let cool for 5 or 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve; discard solids. Brush strained jam over apricots, and spoon remaining glaze over cream. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons hazelnuts around apricots. Serve immediately.

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1 cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter and dust it with flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients – whole wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder – until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients – buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and brown sugar – until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Fold in the chopped apricots and hazelnuts into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cooled, slice it into wedges and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- Use fresh apricots if available. If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before chopping them.
- You can substitute hazelnuts with your preferred nuts such as almonds or walnuts.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it rest for 5 minutes before adding it to the recipe.
