Apricot Pound Cake

April 20, 2016 by ChiChi Dodoo 5 Comments

Tender crumb pound cake filled with tangy apricots. This apricot pound cake is even better paired with Apricot Lavender Ice cream. It just melts in your mouth with each bite.

We are basking in some wonderful spring sunshine. Tomorrow promises to be even warmer.. Yay for English springtime!!!! A couple of days ago I shared with you my rose chocolate spritz cookies sandwiched with delicious fruity floral  Häagen-Dazs Lychee Raspberry Rose.

Today I share with you the Limited Edition Apricot Lavender Ice Cream. The ice cream is wonderful combination of aromatic and  fruity. The delicate lavender flavour compliments the sweet fruity apricots.   When I tried the ice cream I just knew it had to be paired with cake. Nothing beats cake and ice cream. It’s a favourite of mine. Pound cake is one of those cake that is delicious but can also be boring.  To spice it up I folded in some chopped apricots. After many trips to different supermarkets I found out apricots are not in season yet. Tinned apricots it was, they make a good substitute.

This cake is wonderfully rich, moist and filled with little pieces of apricot. And the recipe is rather easy.  Another bonus is this apricot pound cake keeps well for days, so can be made in advance.  A tip for making this cake is to use room temperature ingredients. It is easier to incorporate the ingredients when they are all the same temperature.  As well as produce a uniformly textured tender baked cake.

This is my favourite part. Once the cake is baked, serve warm with a scoop of apricot lavender ice cream. Oh yes! The wonderful taste of the ice cream coupled with the warm delicious pound cake makes each bite delightful. Absolutely divine. Words cannot describe how good this tastes.

It is just perfect for a weekday treat.
