Jamie enthused about the concoction: "Gorgeous root vegetables keep this cake deliciously soft and add a subtly sweet, earthy flavour, while apricots and pumpkin seeds give it a lovely texture.
Chop the apricots into fine pieces, then toss them into the bowl along with the seeds, and give everything a good stir until it's well mixed.
He recommends an apricot and root vegetable cake with honey yoghurt icing which can be found on his website.
Though it's not the quickest cake to make, it does serve eight to 10 people so it's ideal for an occasion.
Zest an orange into another and pop two-thirds of this zest into the veg mix, setting aside the rest for the icing later.
