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.

Categories     Dessert

Time 52m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package lemon gelatin
3/4 cup canned apricot nectar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
4 large eggs
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons canned apricot nectar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325. Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, dust with flour. Shake out excess flour.
  • Place cake mix, gelatin, apricot nectar, oil, lemon zest, and eggs in mixing bowl. Blend with mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 to 3 minutes more, scraping down sides of bowl again, if needed. The batter should look thick and smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place pan in oven.
  • Bake cake until it is light brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 40-42 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare glaze. Combine confectioners sugar, lemon juice, and apricot nectar in small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a platter. While the cake is still warm, poke holes in the top with a toothpick or wooden skewer. Spoon glaze onto cake so that it seeps down into the holes. Let the cake cool before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy apricots: The quality of your apricots will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Look for apricots that are plump and have a deep orange color.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature: This will help them incorporate smoothly into the batter and create a light and fluffy cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a loaf pan: This will help to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
  • Test the cake for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it: This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

Apricot nectar pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apricots and tangy glaze makes this cake a real crowd-pleaser. With its moist texture and flavorful glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
