Yield Makes 12 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
2 apricots, halved, pitted, cut into 1/4" wedges
2 tablespoons raw sugar
Special Equipment
A standard 12-cup muffin pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Coat muffin cups with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in another medium bowl, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Divide batter among muffin cups (cups will be only 1/3 full) and smooth tops. Top with apricot slices and sprinkle with raw sugar.
  • Bake until cakes are golden and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let pan cool 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to rack and let cool completely.
  • DO AHEAD: Cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but these cakes were still really good. The streusel topping was my favorite part.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cakes didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cakes are okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.
