This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

I had some trouble finding apricot preserves, but I eventually found them at a specialty grocery store. The cake was worth the effort, though. It was delicious!

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.
