Apricot Upside-Down Cake image

This cake is one of our family favorites. Served warm or cold, with ice cream, whipped cream or just plain. My Grandma first made this cake when she had an abundant supply of apricots on her hands and decided to use apricots in place of the pineapple in pineapple upside-down cake...it was an instant hit and now that you've heard about it, you'll have to give it a try...maybe it'll become one of your favorites too.

This is the best apricot upside-down cake I've ever had! The cake is moist and fluffy, and the apricots are perfectly caramelized.

I had some trouble getting the cake to come out of the pan in one piece. I think I might have needed to grease the pan more.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the glaze next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the glaze. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
