Apricot Coconut Crumble Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in milk and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well after each addition.
• Pour half the batter into 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Dot with preserves; cover with remaining batter.
• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Heat broiler. Combine coconut, brown sugar, 1/3 cup butter and cinnamon; sprinkle over warm cake. Broil, 4 inches from heat, 2 to 3 min. or until golden brown. Cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round cake pan, 2-inches deep and line the bottom with a disk of parchment or wax paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and soft. Add the egg and continue beating until light. Add the yolks one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the batter. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Arrange the apricots skin side down on the batter in concentric rows, overlapping slightly, leaving a margin of about 1-inch around the edge. Don't be concerned if the apricots mounds slightly in the center of the cake, the top will even out as the cake bakes.
• For the crumbs, mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the butter and stir it in evenly. Rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand. Scatter the crumbs over the apricot and the batter at the edges as evenly as possible. Bake the cake 1 hour until a knife point inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes and invert a plate on it. Invert onto the plate and lift off the pan. Peel off the paper and invert a rack on the cake. Invert onto the rack and cool.
• Variations: Substitute 8 pitted and quartered plums or 3 cups fresh cut pineapple.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
• Combine the whole almonds and 1/4 cup pine nuts in a food processor. Pulse the machine until the nuts are finely ground. Transfer the nuts to a medium bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer beat the eggs and the sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow. Add the butter, and milk. Stir in the almond extract and apricots. Gently stir in the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake with sliced almonds and remaining 1/4 cup pine nuts. Bake until the cake is cooked and a toothpick comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes. Let the cake cool on a wire rack. Use a knife to loosen the edges. Turn the cake out, slice, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour 13x9-inch pan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the topping: Whisk together flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pulse coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and brown sugar, and pulse to combine. Add flour mixture, and pulse until clumps form.
• Make the crust: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim crust to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears. Fold edges under, and press to seal. Crimp as desired. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Make the filling: Stir together apricots, sugars, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour filling into piecrust. Sprinkle with topping, squeezing some of the mixture into medium to large clumps and leaving a 1-inch border.
• Bake pie on middle rack, with a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack to catch juices, until vigorously bubbling in center and bottom crust is golden, about 1 1/2 hours. (Loosely tent topping with foil after 30 minutes to prevent burning.) Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool for at least 2 hours (preferably longer) before serving.
