Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (175°C).
- Grease a bundt cake pan or 8" springform pan by spraying with oil (or butter). (If using a springform pan, line with parchment paper. Make sure to spray the paper, too.)
- Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder or Paneangeli, then add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended.
- Stir in the yogurt.
- In a food processor, process the apricot halves until almost pureed.
- Add the processed apricot the cake mixture (along with the vanilla if you used plain baking powder) and stir until evenly combined.
- Put the batter into the prepared bundt or cake pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the orange cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pan.
- Sift powdered sugar on top just before serving, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- Measurements in baking are scientific, they must be precise which is why I always advise using a scale for best results.
- Try to steer away from improvising or substituting ingredients the first time you make a recipe. Make changes the next time when you know what the original is like.
