Apple & Apricot Cake!


A fruity weekend! After watching the Great British Bake Off on telly, it always makes me want to bake while it makes the Husband want to eat!

Mary Berry is turning out to be one of my favourite bakers and I have also recently bought one of her books, '100 Cakes and Bakes.' This lovely fruity cake recipe is from that book.

The cake is baked out of 250g self raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 225g caster sugar, 2 eggsm 150g melted butter all mixed and beaten together before 225g chopped apple and 100g apricots are stirred in. The batter is poured into an 20cm tin and then 25g of flaked almonds are scattered on top. The cake is then baked for an hour and a half at 140 degrees.

This is a lovely fruity moist cake and the parents-in-laws seemed to like it enough when they kindly became my tasters!
