½ cup | Butter or margarine |
2 cups | Sugar |
8 larges | Eggs |
1½ cup | Flour |
9 cups | Halved apricots; pitted |
1 teaspoon | Ground cinnamon |
2 tablespoons | Lemon juice |
¼ cup | Cornstarch |
1¼ cup | Sour cream |
1 teaspoon | Vanilla |
With a mixer, beat butter and ½ cup sugar until fluffy. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour.
Spread batter evenly in a 9 by 13 inch pan.
Mix apricots with ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange fruit, cut side up, in batter.
In a bowl, mix remaining sugar with cornstarch, add sour cream, remaining eggs, and vanilla; beat until blended. Pour over apricots.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until cake surrounding apricots in the center is firm when gently pressed, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes; serve warm or cool. NOTES : I have used my frozen apricots and it works well.
