This is the one cake that DH mentions is his favorite from childhood. It is very dense and flavorful. Very good hot from the oven, but I froze the latest. We'll see how it turns out after thawing, but it sure is a good cake fresh. Make sure you grease and flour your bundt pan well. My last one fell apart when I tried to pop it out of the pan. Good thing the glaze covers all!

Turned out fab, moist and flavorful, more compliments than box cakes normally get at one of our weekly summer picnics. It rose beautifully, making a nice tall cake (i love when a cake makes use of the entire pattern on my bundt pan). I replace 1/4 of vegetable oil with softened butter, and used an actual lemon for the glaze.

A very nice cake, indeed. Lovely and moist. We subbed peach nectar for the apricot (had it on hand). Will make again.

My grandmother used to make this cake when I was a little girl. I had forgoten all about it until I saw it posted here. Now I've made 3 in the past week! I even tried using strawberry cake mix and strawberry nectar. I thought that one turned out a little heavy or oily but DH said it was the best one yet. Thanks for bringing back a memory!

This delicious cake is very moist and has a great citrus flavor. Although it did not taste oily, I may try to reduce the amount of oil a bit next time. Also, don't expect an apricot flavor, but it is flavorful! Very good, this is a keeper!
