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.

Steps:
- I used my bread machine on the dough cycle but you may make your dough the traditional way if you prefer.
- Put water, eggs and oil in bottom of bread machine pan.
- Mix together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and 4 teaspoons of the grated lemon rind, and add on top of your wet ingredients.
- On top of the flour mixture, add powdered milk, sugar, salt and yeast.
- Set bread machine to dough cycle.
- Meanwhile, using kitchen shears or a knife, cut up apricots to about the same size as your raisins, then measure them and mix together with the raisins.
- When dough cycle is complete, take out your dough and divide it into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
- Using your fingers or a dough roller, spread the larger piece of dough over the bottom of a well-greased 7"x11" or 9" square baking dish.
- Sprinkle approximately half of the brown sugar over the dough, then top with raisin-apricot mixture.
- Divide the other piece of dough into 24 small balls, then flatten each ball between your hands.
- Place the dough disks on top, distributing them evenly around the dish.
- Sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar, then the remaining 4 teaspoons grated lemon rind (I was able to get the whole 8 teaspoons rind from one lemon).
- Let rise in a very warm place for 30 to 45 minutes then bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
- Cut, eat and enjoy!

Steps:
- Generously spray a 1-quart casserole or souffle dish with nonstick coating; set aside.
- In a large bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the yeast, and the cardamom or nutmeg.
- In a saucepan heat and stir water, sugar, butter, and the salt just until warm (120 degree to 130 degree) and butter almost melts; add to flour mixture along with egg product; beat with electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly, then beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in apricots and remaining flour (batter will be stiff); spoon the batter into prepared casserole, cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double (50 to 60 minutes).
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes (if necessary, cover the cake loosely with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over browning).
- Remove the coffee cake from casserole dish, cool slightly on a wire rack, If desired, serve warm cake with apricot spread.
Tips:
- Use fresh apricots. Fresh apricots have a more intense flavor and are less likely to be mushy. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a bundt pan. A bundt pan will give the cake a beautiful shape and allow the heat to circulate evenly.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
