  I had intended to make one as per recipe using apricots and ground almonds and another one using cherries, sultanas and coconut. All went well until I split the mixture. I added the apricots and ground almonds to half but instead of adding the cherries, sultanas and coconut to the other half I added to the apricot mixture! Then mixed all together and poured into the 2 tins. Delicious, even if discovered by default!!

  Reduce the temperature by 20 degrees for a fan oven.

  This cake is delicious and when apricots are plentiful I make a few and put them in the freezer. I also used half coconut and half almonds. Any body who has had a slice of it come back for more.

  Lovely cake but disappointed that the flavour from the coconut didn't come through. Next time I would just use ground almonds.

  Just made this cake, using half almonds and half coconut. Only had 1 orange to zest, and the mix seemed a little stiff so added a splash of milk. It's absolutely delicious and I will definitely be making it again.
