Chocolate. Apricot. Cake.
It’s so good it melts in your mouth.
Good news is, this chocolate apricot cake is also really easy to prepare!
You only need few ingredients and less than a couple free hours, tops!
This cake tastes similar to the traditional pound cake you’re probably familiar with. The difference is, this one is more chocolaty and… well.. yummier!
I used apricots to prepare it, but you can replace them with peaches or orange slices or any other juicy fruit you have available.

Recipe Notes
Use a toothpick to make sure your cake is ready.
The upper part could look 'ready / brown', but make sure the cake is baked even before taking it out.
It really does take about 45 minutes, so don't worry, it won't burn.
