American Apple and Apricot Cake

This cake did end up at our Macmillan coffee morning yesterday! I am not sure that many people had any - there were lots of cakes to choose from, but it was popular with us, and one that I would bake again. Mary says that it is best eaten warm, but we have managed to eat it cold without too much problem!
I do tend to get the comments from our kids - not more flaked almonds, but apart from that it was a hit! Personally I love flaked almonds.
I now only have one recipe left to do from the first chapter of the book - Old-fashioned seed cake, which Mary says "you either love or loathe". I think I know what the verdict will be in our house! I may keep putting that one off for a little while longer!
