Instructions
Cake
pre-heat oven to 350°FGrease 9x9 pan or similar
Using my stand mixer I added the sugar and eggs, beat until thick and lemon in color. Then add the Apricot jam and mix through.
Melt the butter, just till melted, do not boil. Add the melted butter and vinegar to the egg mixture.
in a small bowl mix the flour with the baking soda and salt. Pour this into the wet ingredients along with the milk.
Pour into your prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until it has browned and risen.
sauce
While the cake is in the oven, in a small sauce pan add all ingredients and slowly bring to a boil. Once the cake is out of the oven, pour half the sauce, let it soak in and then pour the remaining sauce.
Leave to stand awhile before serving. Tastes great warm and room temperature. If you would like serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
