Apricot Squares
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The recipe is actually quite simple, everything is easy and straightforward. I recommend using a square or rectangular pan for baking. You can use a round pan for the cake as well, but then it won't be squares anymore—though the taste won't suffer at all. This tender and juicy apricot cake with a pleasantly crunchy crumb topping is sure to win you over. Serve it with tea or coffee.
