CRUNCHY APRICOT CAKE
From my grandma....my grandpa's favorite, which is easy to believe because it's delicious! Apricot pie filling spread on the bottom, followed by white cake, and a coconut pecan topping. *Note: Make sure the cake mix you use is for 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. If you try to make this with a 9x13 inch pan, there will not be enough pie filling to cover the bottom.

APRICOT, ALMOND & PINEAPPLE SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
I created this pineapple sour cream coffee cake recipe for a contest at the Los Angeles County Fair in the 1980s. My kids were very proud of me when my name was called for first place. The cake would be the perfect partner for morning coffee or it'd be a delightful dessert with a scoop of ice cream. -Marina Castle-Kelley, Canyon Country, California

Tips:
- Use fresh apricots. Fresh apricots are more flavorful and have a better texture than dried apricots. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but fresh is best.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
