Great cake to take to a meetingMarch 05, 2008By ka37
"I was concerned when I first took the cake out of the oven because the topping had melted into the cake some. I need to work on when to put the topping on. Otherwise the cake is a winner . I used apricot jam such a treat. Also it seemed like a large amount of baking powder but I can see it's needed to help the cake rise around the jam. I would make it again. Very buttery."
