Was looking for a way to use my apricots that are about to go off and this looks lovely. Reminds me of the classic orange and almond cake that is similarly easy to make.

Not knowing your usual recipe I'm running a risk here, but another option is to stick with the old fave but subbing plain veg oil, or even a nut oil, in lieu of butter - I find many cake recipes can bear this substitution very well. alison.Alison Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492848177186327971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869153921267483416.post-23340619425214980172013-01-09T13:17:20.899+11:002013-01-09T13:17:20.899+11:00Hi Alison,

Any suggestions for modifying this one for plums?<br />Cheers, and happy new year, Rachel K<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
