This apricot cake, sweetened with maple syrup and applesauce, and nutritiously delicious with einkorn flour and almond meal, comes together fairly quickly and can easily be tweaked to include whatever seasonal fruits are available. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature with a dollop of thickened cream or simply dusted with icing sugar.
Apricot Einkorn Cake with Almond and Maple Syrup
adapted from taste
|
- Lightly grease a baking pan (22cmx20cmx4cm) with butter and line the base and the sides of the pan with baking paper. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Whisk together the ground einkorn, almond meal, baking powder, and cinnamon. In another saucepan, mix together almond milk, maple syrup and applesauce.
- Beat the butter until light and pale. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until combined. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix. Now mix in liquid mixture, then the rest of flour mixture until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the apricot halves, cut side up, over the batter.
- Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Who needs icing when you have a beautiful topping like this one? Gorgeous.
Apricot is one of my favorite fruits, I will not be greedy, only 2 slices please.
Looks delicious! I am so envious you can use all these apricots for baking. Apricots very expensive here.. I always feel a bit 'sayang' to bake these expensive fruits. Try baking with blue-cheese and let us know if you like it..:)
Oh my this looks gorgeous Angie. I wish we could get nice apricots here. They are all floury and taste of nothing

I have always loved apricots. This looks fabulous and would be perfect for my breakfast, lunch and dinner! Thanks Angie!
Maple syrup is such a good companion for apricots. Should use it more.

I ordered einkorn flour online after your blog introduced me to it. Have to say I love it. This cake sounds and looks so delicious. We have a big apricot tree in the neighborhood and during summers it's heaven. I'll definitely try this.
Dear Angie, I love apricots. There was an apricot tree in my yard when I was growing up. This is a beautiful cake.

This is just my sort of cake, thick pieces of sweet and juicy fruit pared with the clean crumb and bit of crunch in the crust!
Lovely cake! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the apricots blossoms didn't freeze and we have a big year of apricots. This cake is a must!

The apricots are so pretty :) Haven't had apricots for quite a while (and their season isn't coming for quite a while i think) so i won't get to make a nice apricot cake like you for another couple of month!
I haven't had apricots in years! I need to change that! Such a beautiful cake with the apricots peeking out on top, Angie!
I made your lovely inviting cake & it was just the max: fabulous even!
