Hints & Tips
- Use good quality jam – A thick, fruity apricot jam will give the best flavour and texture.
- Check for doneness early – Ovens vary, so keep an eye on the slice from the 25-minute mark to avoid over-browning.
- Make it extra indulgent – Drizzle with melted white chocolate once cooled for a pretty finish.
