Tips:

Use ripe, juicy apricots. This will ensure that your slice is packed with flavor.
Soak the apricots in hot water for 10 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and make them easier to slice.
Use a sharp knife to slice the apricots. This will help to prevent them from tearing.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense slice.
Bake the slice until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the slice cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
