- Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with baking powder and cinnamon.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter then remove from the heat and cool until lukewarm.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until creamy and pale. Add the vanilla and beat in the butter. Add to the flour and stir carefully with a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into the prepared paper cases, taking care only to fill 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up ensuring a good rise.
- Cut the apricots in half, remove the stone and slice thinly across. Arrange the slices in the cake mixture in the shape of a flower.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully on a wire rack before serving.
