1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can apricot halves, well-drained
Cake
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
2 large Land O Lakes® Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
STEP 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and nutmeg in bowl. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle into prepared pan. Place apricot halves, rounded-side down, on top of brown sugar mixture; set aside.
STEP 3
Combine 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Continue beating, adding eggs 1 at a time, until well mixed. Add vanilla and lemon zest; continue beating until well mixed.
STEP 4
Beat at low speed, gradually adding flour, baking powder and salt alternately with milk and scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Gently spread batter on top of apricots.
STEP 5
Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Loosen sides of cake from pan by running knife around inside of pan. Invert cake onto serving platter; let stand 5 minutes. Remove pan. Cool completely.
It is very important to drain apricots well. Pat dry with a paper towel.
