Pineapple Apricot Cake image

Prep time says 1hr 20mins but an hour of the time is soaking the fruit. Easy recipe and a big hit for breakfast brunches in place of coffee cake. First tried the recipe for a back to school breakfast - big hit... made it for our monthly office breakfast and had several requests for the recipe... worth trying.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too runny.
