1 1/2 Cups Castor Sugar
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
2 tbsp Glaced Ginger
110g Cooking Marg
100g Dried Apricots
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 Tbsp Cocoa
75 g chopped nuts ( I used Macadamia)

Soak Apricots in boiling water for 1/2 hour until soft and pulpy.
Sift Flour, cocoa, and cinnamon, rub in butter until mix resembles breadcrumb like consistency.
Add sugar, finely chopped ginger, nuts and apricots. Mix well and add Beaten egg and milk.
Spread into a greased and lined pan (300mm x 200mm).
Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 mins or until skewer comes out clean.
Cool in pan. Remove from pan and ice with chocloate icing and crushed nuts.

This recipe I have had for many years and came across it a few weeks ago.
Had good comments on it when I shared it with the girls in the next complex at work.
So give it a try and let me know what you think of it.
