I harvested the apricots from our garden. I thought about making tarts, but I left out the crust and increased the amount of almond cream powder to make a cake. It was moist and delicious.If you don't have fresh apricots of course you can used canned apricots. Be sure to thoroughly drain them.Just mix everything together. For apricots and peaches if you insert the knife along the depression and cut it's easy to remove the seed. Recipe by Pitarou

It's late September. The kids are back at school. The kits are settling in. The kitchen is half finished and a bit of a tip.What to do in the midst of a building site? Make a cake, of course.With six big bruise-coloured plums and three plump figs lurking in the fruit bowl, the decision made itself. No stranger to plums and what complements their flavour (I once lived in a house with an abundant plum tree), almonds were a given. Would figs work too?Yes. Yes, they would.It was an easy win. I modified an Italian plum cake recipe by David Tanis by adding figs and using golden caster sugar and a dash of almond extract.The end result was the perfect combination of dense crumb and molten, jammy fruit.This is a cake best served warm, as close to just-out-of-the-oven as you can get without the risk of third degree burns, with a cup of coffee on a rainy autumn day.

I decided to poach my pears the "Poire belle Hélène way" in a spiced syrupy water for more depth of flavors. Beautiful isn't it? I noticed that the pears in most of the pear cake loaf recipes weren't cored. I wonder how they eat the pear cakes. I of cos cleaned the bottom and cored the pears with a melon baller. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small sharp knife. Be sure not to damage the pears. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try.

Beautiful cake. Not too sweet.

When I was an intern in New York I was invited to my German professor's home. This cake was served at that time. I loved this cake so much, which suited my tastes perfectly, that he gave me the recipe. I have cherished this recipe for a long time, and having made this cake so many times, I have now adjusted the ingredients and ratios to my own liking.Adding sliced almond instead of ground almond to the cake batter is the key to this recipe. This cake has a lot of it so the sponge itself is not that fluffy, but the crunchy texture and the soft pear are an unexpected match. Recipe by Usagi no Cima. (For a 16 cm round cake tin.)

Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi & Helen Goh, this has structure, flavor, and visual impact. The beaten egg whites add lift to the texture, resulting in a lighter cake.Seen here without the rose cream and pomegranate topping.

This is the easiest almond cake with just 4 main ingredients. This cake has a soft, moist crumb and is lightly sweet with a pop of lemon flavor. Recipe adopted from natashaskitchen.com

I really wanted to have something sweet with my Türkish tea today. So, I baked this. used apples carrots and orange .. Then I Added some coconut flakes.very easy and delicious

Easy to make and very tasty. I used wholemeal flour which gives a slightly nutty taste to the cake.

Can be served multiple ways. Personal favorite is served in the fashion of a shortcake topped with whipped cream and macerated strawberries like in the picture shown.
