Apricot jam recipes

This is my idea of a perfect cake: simple, beautiful, fragrant and beguiling. I’ve been making this sort of cake, in one form or another, since my clementine cake in How To Eat, and I can’t help but feel, with a certain calm excitement, that it has reached its apogee here.

For this recipe you will need a 20cm/8in round springform cake tin and a food processor.
