Nigel Slater's recipes for apricot cake, and summer fruit frozen yoghurt (The Guardian)

Mix in the milk and eggs. Break the eggs into a bowl, add the milk and beat lightly to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside. For those whose interest runs to something tart and refreshing, there is a frozen yoghurt the colour of a traditional summer pudding.
