- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Apricot puree (made from fresh or canned apricots)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- Mix the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat the softened butter with granulated sugar in another large bowl until creamy.

- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
