Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
Pinch of fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more, for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, pistachios, brown sugar, cardamom and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.

Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the apricot preserves on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.

APRICOT COFFEE CAKE

Provided by Rick Rodgers

Categories     Cake     Fruit     Breakfast     Dessert     Bake     Apricot     Winter     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 15 3/4-ounce can apricots, well drained
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Lightly butter an 11x8-inch glass baking dish.
  • 2. Beat the butter in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (don't be concerned if the mixture looks slightly curdled). Beat in the vanilla. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and stir into the batter, then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
  • 3. Spread evenly in the pan. Arrange the apricots over the batter, cutting them into halves or quarters if necessary to give the cake a uniform appearance. (There are often apricots of different sizes in the same can.) Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.
  • 4. To serve, sift confectioners' sugar over the cake and cut into squares.
  • Make Ahead.
  • The cake can be made up to 1 day ahead, covered with plastic wrap, and served at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful coffee cake, ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before beginning. This allows them to emulsify properly, resulting in a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Use high-quality, ripe apricots for the filling. Fresh apricots provide the best flavor and texture. If using frozen apricots, thaw them completely before using.
  • Slice the apricots thinly and evenly so they bake evenly within the coffee cake. This also helps them distribute their flavor throughout the cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • For a crispy and golden brown topping, use a combination of coconut, brown sugar, and pecans. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness and texture, while the brown sugar provides a rich caramel flavor.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before serving. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

This apricot coffee cake with coconut topping is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet apricots, a moist and fluffy coffee cake, and a crispy coconut topping. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. Enjoy!
