Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
3 egg yolks
1 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
8 pitted and quartered apricots
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round cake pan, 2-inches deep and line the bottom with a disk of parchment or wax paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and soft. Add the egg and continue beating until light. Add the yolks one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the batter. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Arrange the apricots skin side down on the batter in concentric rows, overlapping slightly, leaving a margin of about 1-inch around the edge. Don't be concerned if the apricots mounds slightly in the center of the cake, the top will even out as the cake bakes.
  • For the crumbs, mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the butter and stir it in evenly. Rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand. Scatter the crumbs over the apricot and the batter at the edges as evenly as possible. Bake the cake 1 hour until a knife point inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes and invert a plate on it. Invert onto the plate and lift off the pan. Peel off the paper and invert a rack on the cake. Invert onto the rack and cool.
  • Variations: Substitute 8 pitted and quartered plums or 3 cups fresh cut pineapple.

Apricots are a juicy fruit that can give your baked delicacies a unique sweet and tangy taste. Add coconut flavor to the mix and you get a dessert that everyone would love to dig into. The apricot coconut crumble cake is one such dessert that is easy to make and impresses everyone with its taste. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips when making apricot coconut crumble cake recipes.

Choosing the Right Apricots

When selecting apricots for your crumble cake, make sure that they are mature and ripe. Unripe apricots will not have the right flavor and will remain hard even after baking. Ripe apricots should be soft and give in to gentle pressure. Also, look for apricots that are unblemished and free from bruises.

Using the Right Type of Flour

For the crumble cake, it is important to use a flour with a high gluten content. Gluten is a protein in wheat flour that helps bind the ingredients together and add structure to baked goods. Therefore, using bread flour or all-purpose flour is recommended. Avoid using cake flour or pastry flour as they have lower gluten content and the cake may turn out crumbly.

Mixing the Ingredients

When mixing the ingredients for the cake batter, it is important not to overmix. Overmixing the batter can cause gluten formation, leading to a tough and dense cake. Mix until the ingredients are just combined and you have a smooth batter.
The Right Consistency of the Cake Batter
The consistency of the cake batter is crucial to the final outcome of the cake. The batter should be thick and spreadable with a spatula. If the batter is too runny, the cake will turn out flat and dense. If it is too thick, the cake will be dry and crumbly.

Preparing the Apricots

Before adding the apricots to the cake batter, they need to be prepared properly. Wash the apricots and remove the pit. Then, cut them into small pieces, about half an inch in size. Ensure that all the pieces are the same size to ensure even baking.

Using Coconut Flakes

To enhance the coconut flavor in the crumble cake, it is recommended to use coconut flakes in the recipe. Toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the crumble topping for a nuttier flavor.
The Right Way to Mix the Crumble Topping
The crumble topping is one of the highlights of the apricot coconut crumble cake. Mix the ingredients for the crumble topping until you have a coarse, crumbly texture. Do not overmix the topping, as it will result in a paste-like consistency.

Baking the Cake

Preheat the oven to the recommended temperature before baking. Place the cake pan in the center of the oven for even baking. Check the cake after 30 minutes and rotate the pan as needed for even baking. The cake is done when a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling the Cake
After baking, let the cake cool down in the cake pan for at least 10 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan. Once the cake has cooled down, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving the Cake

This cake recipe is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The ice cream melts into the cake, making it even more delicious. You can also add whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra sweet touch.
Storing the Cake
To store the apricot coconut crumble cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. The cake can last for up to five days in the fridge. Before serving, bring the cake to room temperature for at least an hour for the best taste and texture.

Conclusion

The apricot coconut crumble cake recipe is a fantastic dessert for any occasion. It is easy to make and delicious to eat. Following the tips mentioned above will help you make a perfect cake every time. Remember to choose the right apricots, use the correct type of flour, mix the batter well, prepare the apricots properly, and bake the cake to perfection. Enjoy this fantastic dessert and impress your guests with your baking skills.
