APRICOT SNACK CAKE
Originally this cake had a layer of gooey apricots between the cake and crumbs but I wasn't paying attention one day and added them to the cake. My daughter decided she liked better with the apricots in the batter. I am partial to the gooey layer. Either way is good with some whipped cream or ice cream. It is also good made with blueberies, peaches, or a combo of fresh fruits in place of the apricots.

Tips:
- For a tender crumb, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Use fresh or frozen apricots for the best flavor. If using frozen apricots, thaw them completely before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crumb topping by hand. Simply use a pastry blender or two forks to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- To make the crumb topping ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For a gooey center, add a layer of apricot preserves to the batter before adding the crumb topping.
- Serve the apricot crumb cake warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
