Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 22 cm (9’’) cake pan.
Step 2
In a food processor, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and butter. Add in the sugar, and mix again.
Step 3
Add in the egg and milk, then mix again until just combined, avoid overmixing. Pour the batter into the pan - it will be thick.
Step 4
Add the apricots on top, arranging them in a pretty circular pattern.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, sugar and egg, beating them with a fork, and pour this mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
Step 6
Put in the oven to bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden and the apricots are tender.
Step 7
Leave it in the turned off oven for another ten to fifteen minutes. Dust with confectioner’s sugar just before serving, warm, at room temperature or cold.
