Ingredients

8 servings

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 orange, zested, plus extra for decoration
  • 1 lemon, zested, plus extra for decoration
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups plain flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dried apricot, plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170°C/325°F, and grease a loaf tin.
  • Cream together butter, sugar and zest until pale and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, whisking well between each one.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Gradually tip the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking on a low speed until just combined.
  • Gently stir in the yogurt and vanilla, then fold in the apricots.
  • Pour into the loaf tin, and bake for 50-60 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove and allow to cool. Meanwhile make the icing by combining the powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to make a pourable icing, about 2-3 tbsp total.
  • When the cake has cooled, pour over icing, then sprinkle with remaining chopped apricots and zest.
  • Slice and serve.
