Directions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Genereously grease a 12-cup bundt pan. Scatter ¼ cup almonds over inside of pan.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese, and 1 ¾ cups sugar with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 2 mins.
Add cocoa and beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add to chocolate mixture. Beat with mixer on low until blended.
- In a small bowl, mix together remaining ¼ cup almonds, remaining ½ cup sugar, apricots, and Spoon half of cake batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle ⅔ of apricot mixture over center of batter (mixture will burn if it touches the sides or middle tube of pan). Spoon on remaining batter and sprinkle remaining apricot mixture on top.
- Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan 15 to 20 minutes then invert onto a rack to let cool completely before serving.
