MOM'S APRICOT NECTAR CAKE

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.

3/4 cup canned apricot nectar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
