This cake is a bit dense, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be even better if it was served warm with a scoop of ice cream.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of dried apricots, but I loved this cake. The apricots added a nice sweetness and tartness that balanced out the richness of the cake.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a bit too dense for my liking. I also found the apricot brandy flavor to be a bit overpowering.

I've tried many pound cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the cake turned out perfectly. It was moist, flavorful, and had a beautiful golden crust. I highly recommend this recipe!

This apricot brandy pound cake was a hit at my family gathering! It had a moist and dense crumb, with a delightful apricot flavor that wasn't overpowering. The brandy added a subtle warmth and complexity. I will definitely be making this again!
