Divine Apricot Cake

The apricot jar is like the lolly jar in our house. Quite often I go to the pantry find it empty! My husband and children love to sneak them when I am not around….

Thankfully they are of nutritional value and a healthy alternative to lollies in our house.

Apricots are high in vitamin C, Copper, vitamin A, fiber and rich in antioxidants. This makes them protective against free radicals, good for maintaining good eye sight, immune enhancing and much more.

Try this grain free Divine Apricot Cake. You can eat it hot as a dessert or cold as a treat food.

Getting into the kitchen and cooking your own food is the best thing you can do for your family’s health and it’s such a privilege too. Happy cooking!!
