I’m a sucker for apricots. Also for sesame but that’s a different story. Anyway, I really like apricots since I was a kid, and I loved an apricot cake my mom used to make. So… I just made one. Came out great. Here’s the recipe.

- 150g very soft butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp apricot jam
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking power
- 8-10 apricots, washed and halved.
Heat oven to 325f with convection (340f without)
Mix all liquids well. Add sugar, flour and baking powder and mix well.
Pour into a 10″x10″ greased (with butter) baking pan.
Gently place apricot halves tight on top without pushing them in.
Optional – sprinkle on top some brown sugar.
