Grease a 10" microwave-safe fluted tube dish. Sprinkle almonds over sides.
Combine coconut, 1/3 cup brown sugar and 3 tbsp butter. Press into bottom
of dish. Set aside. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat 1/2 cup
butter. Add 3/4 cup brown sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, preserves

beaten mixture, beating well after each addition. Fold in apricots.

test for doneness, scratch the slightly wet surface with a wooden

minutes. Invert and cool on a platter.
