Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups almond flour (155 grams) for a nutty base
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65 grams) to build the cake’s structure
– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to enhance flavors
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional) for a subtle spice
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder to help the cake rise
– 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams) to sweeten the mix
– 2 large eggs at room temperature to bind everything together
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (8 tablespoons, 113 grams) for richness
– 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional) for extra nutty notes
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract for a warm flavor
– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt at room temperature (140 grams) for moisture
– 3 tablespoons sliced almonds for the topping
– 2 apricots cut into 1/4-inch slices for fresh fruit topping
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the cake pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2-In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cardamom if you’re using it. This step ensures the dry ingredients mix evenly.
3-In another bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, softened unsalted butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until creamy and smooth.
4-Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing and keep the batter light.
5-Gently fold in the sliced apricots to add fresh fruit bursts throughout the cake.
6-Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top for a crunchy finish.
7-Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let it cool before slicing.
8-For a final touch, dust with powdered sugar to enhance the apricot almond cake’s appearance and taste.
