APRICOT KERNEL CAKE

INGREDIENTS
Use a 12 x 8 x 1 1/4 inch baking tray. Makes 10-12 slices. Or, a 19cm (7 1/2 inch) springform baking dish.

• 3/4 cup Kefir.
• 100 grams butter.
• 2 eggs, from pasture fed chickens.
• 1/2 cup of sourdough starter.
• 1/2 cup Californian dates, chopped.
• 1/2 cup organic apricots (black), chopped.
• 1/2 cup apricot kernels
• 2 cups spelt flour.
• 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt.
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
• Tablespoons of water if necessary.

INSTRUCTIONS
Process the kefir, butter, eggs, sourdough starter, dates and apricots in a food processor. Grind the apricot kernels to flour in a blender or grain mill, then mix with the spelt flour, salt and cardamom in a bowl. Slowly add the flour mixture to the ingredients in the food processor and process until you get a smooth batter. If the mixture is too dry then you will need to add a little water until you get the desired consistency.

Grease and dust a baking tin with flour. Spoon in the mixture and level out with a spatula. Leave the mixture to rise in a warm place (28-32C) for 12-20 hours or until the mixture has risen about 50%. Bake at 180C for 45 minutes or until a clean knife comes out dry.

Serve with cultured butter or Kefir cream.
