Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsalted butter, for cake rings
All-purpose flour, for cake rings
1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
24 apricot halves in syrup (two 8 1/2-ounce cans)
4 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons olive oil
12 whole unblanched almonds
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment. Butter and flour twelve 3-by-1 1/2-inch cake rings; set on parchment. Place cornmeal in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar, salt, and orange zest. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring.
  • Slowly pour the hot milk mixture over the cornmeal, incorporating with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place 30 minutes. Add the orange juice.
  • Place the apricot halves on paper towels, and let drain. One at a time, add the egg yolks to the cornmeal mixture, stirring after each addition. Stir in the olive oil.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and shiny. Fold into cornmeal mixture.
  • Center one apricot half, cut-side up, in each cake ring. Pour 1/2 cup batter into each ring. Bake 5 minutes, and remove from oven. Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Place another apricot half, cut-side up, in each ring, and place an almond in the center of each apricot. Return to oven, and bake until tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Remove rings, and cool completely. Drizzle cakes with honey; serve.
