Airfryer Mocha Apricot Cake with Roasted Almonds

Cakes and Pies

Were you expecting for a Christmas recipe like Gingerbread cookies or  how to decorate the Christmas tree or how to spice up your table for Christmas?Well you were wrong!

I inherited Mocha Apricot Cake with Roasted Almonds recipe from my husband’s great-aunt. It’s a soft sponge cake stuffed with delicious apricot jam, covered with mocha cream and toasted almonds.

Aunt Adelina made this cake every year for my husband’s birthday, making it his favorite dessert. It would seem that she got this recipe from some relatives that emigrated to the United States, so it may well be an all-American recipe.

After I got married I wanted to continue this sweet tradition.

This year I wanted to try to make sponge cake but in the airfryer, if you can remember that I made Airfryer Chocolate Ricotta Puff Pastry Bundles with it and it came great.

 However, in order not to ruin my husband’s birthday, I had arranged a back-up in case the air fryer failed, I prepared the ingredients again and put them in the oven.

But even now the airfryer did not disappoint me, the only thing that was a bit worrying was that  the sponge cake was a bit deflated, but it still maintained, thankfully, its softness.
