A cake recipe with apricots in?

[admylin]

I want to use some apricots and thought a nice cake with apricots in would go down well when we have guests tomorrow. Any tried and tested recipes?

Please ladies, any ideas? I have to go shopping!

nigel slater does a fab apricot and almond cake.. will see if I can find it..

I do just a normal 2egg, sponmge cake with chopped apricots in...top sprinkled with crunchy sugar....sometimes combine it with chopped glace cherries too. It's not glam, but very nice

I've got fresh apricots by the way (forgot to add)

filthymindedvixen, sounds great as I know I can do that kind of cake and works every time!

just noticed they are dried in nigel book...

this sounds nice....

Apricot, Ratafia and Fromage Frais Ice Cream

I do it for the children, as they don't realise they are being fed dried apricots by stealth mmmwah ha hah haaa!

ooh, did you mean fresh apricots???

Just halve them and bung them in the oven with a splash of booze and some spices and then serve them with clotted cream

Wow, what a great idea!

Better go shopping. Might still try the basic cake just with chopped fresh apricots or do you think it would go soggy?
