Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 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 to butter mixture 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 the 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 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let pan cool 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to rack and let cool completely. Cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

I've made these cakes several times and they're always a hit. I've even started making them for bake sales and they always sell out.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds in the crumb topping for chopped pecans. They turned out great!

I've tried a lot of different apricot cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cakes are always moist and flavorful, and the apricot filling is to die for.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the crumb topping and it gave the cakes a wonderful warm flavor. I also used a mixture of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, which made the cakes a bit healthier.
