Steps:
- To ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature, set them out at least 2 hours before making the batter.
- Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 325°F
- Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-cup fleur-de-lis cake pan or standard Bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and milk until blended; set aside.
- Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder over the butter.
- Add the eggs, vanilla and sour cream mixture. Fit the bowl on the mixer and, using the paddle attachment, beat on low speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a large spatula, gently fold the ginger and apricots into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, spreading the batter so the sides are higher than the center.
- Bake until the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack and cool upright in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Tap the sides of the pan and invert the cake out onto the rack. Set the rack over a sheet of waxed paper.
- To make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the rum, water and sugar until blended.
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush the surface of the warm cake with the glaze.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Brush a 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with melted butter, coat with flour, and tap out the excess. Sprinkle nuts in bottom of pan and set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined; set aside. Whisk together milk, ginger, and vanilla in a second small bowl until evenly combined.
- Combine butter and sugar in a the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until mixture resembles wet sand and is light, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated and mixture is smooth. Scrape down mixer and sides of bowl. Reduce mixer to low, add 1/3 flour mixture and whisk until just moistened through. Whisk in 1/2 milk mixture and whisk until just moistened. Repeat until all ingredients are added, ending with flour. Transfer batter to prepared Bundt pan and smooth out so batter is even.
- Bake until cake is set, golden brown, and a cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack, let cool 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack, remove from pan, and let cool completely.
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. Strain and set aside to cool slightly.
- When cake is at room temperature, use a skewer to poke holes all over the top. Drizzle the syrup into the holes in the cake, small spoonful by spoonful, making sure it goes into the cake and doesn't flow down. Let sit at least 4 hours so the syrup can soak into the cake.
APRICOT NECTAR POUND CAKE
This a rich, moist cake that is easy to make. It is a recipe that you can easily adjust, to take on the flavors you want to experiment with. I like it without the brandy but some want more of an apricot flavor. Give it a try!
