Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor. If fresh apricots are unavailable, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- To easily remove the pits from the apricots, cut them in half and twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will pop right out.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the carrots by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend into the batter smoothly.
- To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If there is batter still clinging to the toothpick, bake the cake for a few minutes longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
