Delicate cake with lovely chunks of Apricot. A light mellow glaze really compliments it.

diced
4 eggs separated
1 ml (1/4 tsp) Cream of tartar
250 ml (1 cup) Butter
250 ml (1 cup)sugar
375 ml (1 1/2 cup) flour
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

Glaze
125 ml (1/2 cup) Icing sugar
20 ml (4 tsp) peach schnapps or southern comfort

Method
Hydrate the apricots with a bit of water for 5 minutes then drain. Put to side

Put egg whites in a mixing bowl and add the Cream of tartar and make really fluffy

In another bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Gently add a little at a time the flour. Now fold in the egg whites gently. Finally add your apricots and vanilla. Use a 9\" cake tin and cook in the oven for about 55 minutes of 325C
