Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp smooth apricot jam
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup hot water

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour and baking soda.
3. In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until creamy.
4. Add the jam, vinegar, and milk to the egg mixture.
5. Melt the butter in the hot water and add to the egg mixture.
6. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
