Ingredients for Apricot Almond Bundt Cake

  • Unsalted Butter
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Sour Cream
  • Sliced Almonds
  • 1 cup all-fruit apricot preserves

How to Make Apricot Almond Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the apricot preserves and almond extract.
  7. Fold in the chopped almonds.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
