ORANGE APRICOT NECTAR CAKE

Orange Apricot Nectar Cake image

This is GREAT. I love to take this to any pot luck event and always gets lots of attention. I never bring any home. Should be made early enough so it can sit a day or two. And yes vanilla butter and nut flavoring is one type of flavoring not two separate ones.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large or 6 medium ripe apricots, pitted and cut in eighths, or other fruit like plums, peaches, nectarines or berries, or a mixture
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Creme fraiche, whipped cream or vanilla frozen yogurt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease a 9-inch round baking pan with a removable bottom. Dust the pan with a little of the flour. Sift the remaining flour with the baking powder and salt and set aside.
Cream the remaining butter with the brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour mixture and the vanilla.
Spread the batter in the baking pan. Arrange the apricot slices on the top. Put in the oven and bake about 25 minutes, until the top of the cake looks fairly firm and is just beginning to brown.
Sprinkle with the granulated sugar, return to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cake is nicely browned. Remove from the oven, allow to cool 10 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan. Serve the cake while it is still warm, with creme fraiche, whipped cream or vanilla frozen yogurt on the side.

APRICOT BREAD

Apricot Bread image

This is my most asked-for recipe. I've used it for many years, which is obvious from my recipe card that's yellowed and full of stains. The fruity appearance and taste of this easy-to-make bread blend beautifully with our warm Florida sunshine. It's always a hit whenever I serve it.
