MOM'S APRICOT NECTAR CAKE



Mom's Apricot Nectar Cake image

My mom made this for Easter one year, and I actually liked it! I was a tough critic as a kid, but I've always loved this cake. Now I can make it myself as a dessert-loving adult, but I love it more when my mom makes it! I've never been much of a fan of desserts containing fruit, but this one just gets me! It's just fruit juice, essentially, so it's made to please your toughest fruit dessert critic.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
4 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup apricot nectar
2 cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup lemon juice, or as needed
1 teaspoon lemon zest, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the cake is lightly browned at the edges and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean or with moist crumbs. Check for doneness after 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy apricots to ensure the best flavor for your nectar cake.
  • If fresh apricots are unavailable, you can substitute an equal amount of apricot nectar or canned apricots, drained and pureed.
  • To save time, use a store-bought cake mix. Just be sure to follow the package directions for preparing the batter.
  • If you're using a homemade cake batter, be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a tender, moist cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have cream cheese on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of mascarpone cheese.
  • Decorate the cake with fresh apricot slices, apricot preserves, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Apricot nectar cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for any occasion. Whether you're using fresh apricots, apricot nectar, or canned apricots, this cake is sure to please everyone at your table. With its moist texture, sweet apricot flavor, and creamy frosting, apricot nectar cake is a classic dessert that will never go out of style.
