I have actually made it once before, having been given the recipe by my mum, so I knew it was a good one, and would go down well with our holiday hosts.
The sponge mix was straight forward, and so too was the icing. I think part of what makes it such a nice cake is that warmed apricot jam is spread over the sponges before icing. You don't really notice the flavour of the apricot, but it helps to make the cake moist.
Everyone really enjoyed it, and with 10 of us, it didn't last very long! We had it for dessert, served with creme fraiche - in an attempt to reduce the calories!!!
You would not have known that it had been frozen, apart from a slight loss of shine on the icing - I should say that the photo was taken pre freezing.
It was indeed delicious :) 10/10
