  1. Over medium heat in a saucepan, heat ½ cup orange juice and apricots until warm. Remove and let it stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius. Grease a 22 cm springform cake pan and line base and sides with baking paper.
  3. In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla essence until thick using an electric mixer.
  4. Sift flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and bicarbonate of soda over the above mixture. Add apricot mixture and pear. Stir well until combined. Spoon mixture onto the pan. Smooth the top.
  5. Bake cake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before releasing the sides to cool completely.
  6. Dust cake with icing sugar and serve.

Tip: Cook the pears gently so that they don’t break up and adjust the cooking time according to their ripeness.

This aromatic spring dessert recipe gives tea time a lift with its fruity flavor and lighter sponge. Very easy to bake, it makes for a visually appealing centerpiece when entertaining.

    What a beautiful cake! I love how TALL it is and I’ve been crushing on all things apricot lately, so this is right up my alley! Can’t wait to give it a try for a nice sweet dessert treat (though honestly, I know I’ll eat it for breakfast too ;)) Pinned!

    This looks wonderful! I love how thick it is. For whatever reason, I’m drawn to a thick cake 😛 Probably because there’s more of it, haha. Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Link Party!
