-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (3/4 stick), room temp
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
2 apricots -- halved, pitted, cut into 1/4" wedges
2 tablespoons raw sugar
OMG these are *good*. The flavor is wonderful. The oven was set
for 20 min and they were done early so if you make them be sure to
keep checking on them. Will be making them in the future again.
Preheat oven to 350F. Coat muffin cups with nonstick spray. Whisk
flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in another medium
bowl, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until light and
fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat
until combined.
With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients in 3 additions
alternately with milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry
ingredients. Divide batter among muffin cups (cups will be only 1/3
full) and smooth tops. Top with apricot slices and sprinkle with raw sugar.
Bake until cakes are golden and a tester inserted into the centers
comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let pan
cool 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to rack and let cool completely.
DO AHEAD: Cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
