Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, Oil a 20.5 cm square tin and line with non-stick baking paper.
- Sprinkle the sugar and the flaked almonds over the paper, then arrange the apricot halves cut side down on top.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat the eggs into the butter mixture, adding a spoonful of flour after each addition of egg.
- When all the eggs have been added stir in the remaining flour and ground almonds and mix thoroughly.
- Add the almond essence and the dried apricots and stir well.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, taking care not to dislodge the apricot halves. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until golden and firm to touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 15-20 minutes. Turn out carefully, discard the lining paper and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the honey over the top of the cake, sprinkle on the toasted almonds and serve.
