- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the almond extract and half of the chopped almonds.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Evenly spread the apricot preserve over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining chopped almonds.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
