Also known as "David's Cake" – named after my 5-year-old nephew who said, "This is the best cake I've ever eaten in my whole life!"

Cake Ingredients:
1 stick of butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
grated rind of one lemon
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 heaping cup unbleached flour

Cake Topping: 10 halved and pitted apricots (or prune plums)
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar with lemon rind. Add eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Beat. Add salt, baking powder, and flour. Beat together and spread into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan (greased). Place apricots skin side down on top of cake batter. In same mixing bowl (don’t bother to wash) beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and egg. Continue to beat. Pour on top of cake spreading over the apricots. Bake in 350 degrees (F) oven until top is completely set and begins to brown.
