• 1 cups Apricot baby food (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

In another large bowl, combine the brown sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the sugar-oil mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the apricot baby food and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve as is or dust with powdered sugar for a simple garnish. Enjoy!
