This cake is seriously so good! I've been looking for an excuse to use fresh apricots and this was the perfect recipe. It was quick and easy! The only things that I changed was the cook time and I used brown sugar instead of honey. I needed an extra 25 minutes for my cake to be ready. I also browned the butter for the cake and it made my house smell so good. I think next time, I'm going to try rhubarb!

Made with rhubarb, orange blossom honey, and ricotta. It was perfect!

Used some mandarinquats I had on hand last time I made this, really enjoyed a citrus-y combo for this cake

The cottage cheese is an interesting addition to the cake, not too sweet. Lovely quick summer cake!

Nice cake, not too sweet - we enjoyed it with sweetened whipped cream for dessert and plain for breakfast. Super moist, as Alison says, like a cross between cake and cheesecake. The edges do get quite dark; I imagine baking for a longer time at lower temperature would help avoid that.

I made with rhubarb and it was delicious!! Not too sweet ;-) perfect for with tea. Of the two cake recipes I've made, I realize Alison likes a more *finished* crispy crust - which my husband does not. I'm going to have to play around with that.
