Apricot Breakfast Cake

14 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces dried apricots, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tea bag (I tried with both green tea and earl grey--both were excellent)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 4 ounces butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup instant powdered milk
  • 1 lemon, zest of, grated
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup golden raisin

Directions

  1. 1
    Brew one cup of tea and pour in small bowl over chopped apricot pieces; stir in ground coriander; allow to soak and plump for one hour; strain apricots of liquid (there will be what appears to be sediment in the liquid - not to worry, it is the coriander and we want it!), reserving liquid; there should be about 1/2 cup of apricot tea, if it is less, add enough water to make it equal 1/2 cup
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 350F and butter and flour a bundt pan (I used a silicone pan - no need to butter and flour and cake slipped right out after cooling for about 25 minutes)
  3. 3
    Beat butter together with sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 5-6 minutes; add baking powder, extracts, milk powder and zests; alternate additions of flour with apricot tea and eggs; finally, dredge apricot pieces and golden raisins in a little flour and mix them into the batter
  4. 4
    Spoon batter into prepared bundt pan; bake for 50-60 minutes in preheated oven, or until a sharp knife inserted into highest part of cake comes out clean (I covered my cake loosely with a piece of aluminum foil after 30 minutes); remove from oven, cool approximately 20 minutes and turn out onto serving platter; allow to cool completely and dust with icing sugar
  5. 5
    Note: This cake (like most cakes incorporating dried fruit) is even better after a couple of days
