This pretty Apricot and Almond Cake is deliciously nutty, sweet and moist.

Super easy to make, almond flour gives this cake a lovely texture with bites of chewy dried apricots providing a surprising contrast.

The lemon vanilla glaze is a tasty addition that makes this dried apricot cake come together beautifully.

Decorate with sliced toasted almonds and more chopped apricots for a lovely treat. Perfect for afternoon tea.
