How to Make Apricot Shortcake Spc

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (1-7) until well blended. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour.
  3. Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 20cm x 5cm deep cake pan.
  4. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of rolled oats or sunflower seeds for added texture and flavor.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it stand in the pan for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  7. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. (Optional) For a delightful twist, prepare a simple yogurt glaze: Whisk together 2 tablespoons of plain natural yogurt and 1 cup of sifted icing sugar. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the glaze evenly over the top.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
