Butter Cake with Apricot Filling Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Combine the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the butter into it.
• If you use cold butter, cut it up first and use a pastry cytter or two knives to cut the butter in fine pieces.
• With cool hands, knead the butter and flour together and gather it up into a firm dough ball. (You can also use a food processor)
• Finely chop the apricots and mix them with the almonds and ginger syrup.
• Grease a 24sm/10 inch round cake dish with butter.
• Press half the dough into the dish.
• Spread the apricot over the top. Leave a bit of room for the rest of the dough and to keep the filling from sticking to the dish.
• Roll out the other half of the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the same size as the dish.place over the filling and press the edges together.
• Use the blunt side of a knife, score a crisscross pattern on the top and brush it with the milk.
• bake the butter cake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until it's cooked and golden brown.
• allow it to cool and slice the cake into wedges before serving.
