- Ground Cinnamon - 1¼ teaspoons

- Grated Ginger Root - ½ teaspoon
- Ground clove - 0.1 teaspoons
- Salted Butter - 6.2 oz
- Brown Sugar - 1 cup
- Vanilla extract - 1¼ teaspoons

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 347°F. Generously grease the bottom and sides of a square baking pan (20x20 cm) with butter.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon (¾ teaspoon), ginger, and cloves.
Step 3
Beat the unsalted butter (125 g), brown sugar, and vanilla extract with a mixer on high speed. After about 3 minutes, when the mixture lightens, continue beating and gradually add the eggs and apricot puree.
Step 4
Pour the flour mixture into the egg-butter mixture and mix with the mixer on low speed. Bring the batter to a uniform consistency, add the chopped walnuts, and mix thoroughly again with the mixer.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Let the finished cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Step 6
While the cake is resting, prepare the glaze. First, beat the cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract with a mixer on high speed. Then add the powdered sugar, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and beat with the mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes fluffy.
Step 7
Carefully detach the slightly cooled cake from the sides of the pan with a knife, cover with a plate, flip it over, and gently shake it out. Then cover the cake with a second plate and, squeezing it from both sides, flip it again.
Step 8
Once the cake is completely cool, evenly spread the cream glaze over its surface.
