This month's recipe for the ABC of the Month is the Apricot-Almond-Berry Buckle. As you might know, we're baking from Flo Braker's wonderful book, Baking for All Occasions. When I saw this recipe, I knew this would be a perfect summer cake. Although Flo uses fresh apricots, raspberries and boysenberries, she specifically tells you to use whatever fruit is in season and available to you. There's no way I would find fresh apricots worth buying here in MN, so I looked for frozen ones to no avail. I ended using canned apricots that were pretty decent. For the "berry" part of this cake, I used blackberries and blueberries.
A slice of fruity goodness
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Monica of Sweet Bites to the ABC of the Month baking group. I know Monica from our weekly baking group, Heavenly Cake Bakers. She's a great cook and baker. And like myself, she too has a slight yeast phobia :o)
