Ingredients
Ingredients
  • For the Cake
  • 1 C. all-purpose flour
  • 2 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 C. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 3 T. whole milk
  • 1 t. vanilla bean paste
  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter melted
  • 5-7 ripe apricots
For the Crumble
  • 1/4 C. plain flour
  • 1 t. ground cinnamon
  • 3 T. granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 t. cold unsalted butter cubed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease an 8-inch cake pan and cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla and melted butter together. After mixing, add the liquid ingredients to the dry flour mixture, stirring carefully until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Spoon this batter into your 8-inch cake pan, spreading the batter to evenly cover the bottom of the pan. You won't have a lot of batter!
  5. Halve apricots and remove the pits Arrange apricot halves (cut-side facing up) on top of the cake batter. Press the apricot halves gently into the batter.
  6. Prepare your crumble topping. Place flour, cinnamon, and granulated sugar into a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture takes on the texture of wet sand. Sprinkle this crumble mixture over the apricots.
  7. Bake apricot cake in a 350 degree F. oven for 35-40 minutes. When your cake is done the crumble topping will be slightly browned and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake will come out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove from the pan and let the cake cool completely on a wire rack. This cake is excellent served slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
