APRICOT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
Apricot halves, baked in a faux caramel of melted butter, brown sugar and spices, burst with punchy flavor in every bite of this cake. The sticky topping complements the almost-tart, fleshy stone fruit, and offers a textural contrast to the buttery cake. A hint of almond further accentuates the apricot flavor. This rustic beauty is perfect by itself, but you can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream, if you want to be fancy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the topping: Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or an 8-inch square baking pan. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread the brown sugary mix in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
- Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Arrange the apricots, flesh-side down, evenly over the bottom of the pan.
- Prepare the cake batter: Add the flour to a medium bowl. Sift in the almond flour, then use your fingertips to break up any clumps that don't fit through the sieve. Add the baking powder and salt to the bowl and whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with the paddle attached, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium until combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the milk, mixing to combine. Continue alternating the additions of flour and milk and mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl, just until all is combined. (Make sure not to overmix during this step.)
- Spread the batter in an even layer over the apricot halves. Bake until the cake is set and doesn't jiggle when shaken, is golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Remove pan from the oven, and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. With the cake still in the pan, turn the pan over onto a serving platter. Wait 1 minute, then remove the pan. This cake is excellent warm, but it's also delicious at room temperature.
APRICOT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
My Aunt Anne, who is a great cook, gave me a taste of this golden upside-down cake and I couldn't believe how delicious it was. Apricots give it an elegant twist from traditional pineapple versions. -Ruth Ann Stelfox, Raymond, Alberta

APRICOT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This cake is one of our family favorites. Served warm or cold, with ice cream, whipped cream or just plain. My Grandma first made this cake when she had an abundant supply of apricots on her hands and decided to use apricots in place of the pineapple in pineapple upside-down cake...it was an instant hit and now that you've heard about it, you'll have to give it a try...maybe it'll become one of your favorites too.

Steps:
- Butter the inside of a 5-quart round slow cooker, then line it completely with a large sheet of foil and butter the foil. Turn the cooker on low. Sprinkle the cut-up butter and the brown sugar over the foil in the cooker. Add the pears, arranging them in a circle, cut-side down.
- Mix the flour, pecans, cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. In the large bowl of a mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on low speed until just blended. Increase the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- With the mixer on low speed, beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in two batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed just until the batter is smooth. Spread over the pears in the slow cooker. Drape paper towels over the top of the slow cooker (not touching the cake) to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cake.

Steps:
- First, make your cake mixture. This is terribly easy. Put the flour, almonds, xanthan gum and baking powder in a bowl together and give a quick mix with a spoon.
- Beat the caster sugar and butter for a few minutes, in a separate bowl, using electric beaters, or a Kitchenaid. Add an egg, then half the flour and beat gently, followed by another egg and the rest of the flour mixture, the essence and the milk and beat again. Set the mixture aside while you get on with the apricots.
- In a large frying pan, about 25cm in diameter, fry the soft brown sugar and butter till the sugar has dissolved slightly.
- Place the apricots upside down in concentric circles in the bubbling sugar. Their curves should be facing upwards. Let this mixture caramelise for about ten minutes: don't let it turn to toffee too much: you want the cake to slip out of the pan later.
- After 10-15 minutes, spread your cake mixture carefully and evenly over the top of the apricots. I am often in a bit of a rush when I do this, and I still haven't learned my lesson: I inadvertently move the apricots when I am spreading the mixture, which in turn causes the final result to look a little lopsided. The only way to avoid this is by being very slow and careful with the spreading. Try to be patient.
- Once you have covered the apricots evenly, place the pan into the oven, and bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes, and golden brown on top. Remove from the oven, and let rest for at least 15 minutes in the pan somewhere warm and draught free.
- After 15 minutes' resting time, take a spatula, and gently run it around the edges of the pan, making sure you are also loosening the underside of the cake. Keep shaking the pan as you go, to encourage the loosening process. Place a large plate over the top of the pan- the plate should be bigger than the pan itself- and very carefully, but quickly, flip it over. The cake should slip out onto the plate, with all the little golden apricots facing upwards.
- Serve immediately, with cream or ice cream. This keeps very well, covered, for a few days, and the flavours are all the better for it.
