Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F.
- Slice the apricots in half and remove the pit.
- Place the brown sugar and butter in a cast iron skillet. Melt on low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Arrange the sliced apricots face down over the sugar syrup. Allow to cook on low for another 2-3 minutes then remove and set aside.
- For the cake mixture, whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, fresh thyme and lemon zest.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until smooth. Pour into the skillet over the apricots.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Serve with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
Notes
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, use a 22 cm (8.5 inches) round cake tin lined with parchment paper. Melt the sugar and butter for the syrup in a pan, pour it in the cake tin and arrange the apricots over the top.
- Place in a preheated oven, 180 °C/356 °F, for 5 mins. Remove and continue with the recipe as directed above.
