1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup chopped dried apricots
2 cups modern vanilla wafers
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Take a 0.5 cup of the butter and sugar; set aside.
Stir the flour and baking soda into a small bowl. Stir in the eggs and apricots. Stir in the milk, mixing just until moistened.
Place the apricot slices in the bottom of a greased 9 inch square pan. Pour 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture onto the apricot slices. Then spread half of the apricot mixture over the bottom of the square. Sprinkle half of the sliced almonds over the butter mixture, then spread half of the apricot mixture over the almond slices. Spread half of the chocolate cloud over the edges and top with half of the apricot mixture.
Bake in preheated oven for 75 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack and chill overnight.
Similar in appearance to Pitmaster's Special Crumb recipe. This is NOT the same cake. It does have spinach in it, however. Very Good presentation.
