Introduction

This ultra-moist cake is perfect served with coffee, or as an impressive end to a casual dinner party. Courtesy of www.bordbia.ie

Ingredients

  • 225g butter
  • 225g white sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 75g ground almonds
  • 100g plain flour
  • 100g dried apricots, finely chopped
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • CARAMELISED ORANGES:</H5>
  • 4 tbsp white sugar
  • 125ml water
  • 4 large oranges, peeled and finely sliced

Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4/350°F.
  • 2. Line a round 23cm cake tin with baking parchment.
  • 3. Beat the butter and sugar together, until light and fluffy, add the lemon juice and ground almonds. Fold in the flour, apricots and eggs.
  • 4. Transfer the mixture to the lined cake tin, smooth the top and bake for approx. 35 mins., until the cake springs back when you touch it with a fingertip.
  • 5. To make the caramelised oranges, place the oranges in a flat dish. Heat the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan. Allow the sugar to turn to a caramel colour, being careful not to stir as this will crystalise the sugar. Add the water and bring to the boil for a minute or two. Pour it over the oranges.
  • 6. To serve, cut the cake into wedges, drizzled with the caramelised orange pieces and a spoon of caramel sauce.
