    List of Ingredients




    Healthy Apricot Cake

    1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
    2/3 cup sugar
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups low-fat milk
    nonstick cooking spray
    3 ripe apricots, peeled, halved and pitted



    Recipe



    1. Preheat the oven to 350�F.

    2. Beat the butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is pale yellow and very fluffy.

    3. Add the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed. Stir in the vanilla.

    4. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.

    5. Add half of the flour mixture and blend, then add the milk. Finally, add the rest of the flour mixture. The batter should be smooth. Do not over mix.

    6. Coat a 9" round cake pan with nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the pan. Arrange the apricot halves on top in a single layer.

    7. Bake until golden brown and set in the center, about 25 to 30 minutes.
