APRICOT NECTAR POUND CAKE
This a rich, moist cake that is easy to make. It is a recipe that you can easily adjust, to take on the flavors you want to experiment with. I like it without the brandy but some want more of an apricot flavor. Give it a try!

APRICOT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease a 9-inch round baking pan with a removable bottom. Dust the pan with a little of the flour. Sift the remaining flour with the baking powder and salt and set aside.
- Cream the remaining butter with the brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour mixture and the vanilla.
- Spread the batter in the baking pan. Arrange the apricot slices on the top. Put in the oven and bake about 25 minutes, until the top of the cake looks fairly firm and is just beginning to brown.
- Sprinkle with the granulated sugar, return to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cake is nicely browned. Remove from the oven, allow to cool 10 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan. Serve the cake while it is still warm, with creme fraiche, whipped cream or vanilla frozen yogurt on the side.

GLAZED APRICOT POUND CAKE
I created this Pound Cake for a Very Dear Friend who was ill, she was craving an Apricot Cake. Since I had never made an Apricot cake before I was worried it would turn out horrible. However to my surprise it turned out Beautifully. Very moist, light, and soooooo good. It has the perfect amount of Apricot flavoring in it...

Steps:
- 1. Using the tube pan, flip it upside down and cut a piece of wax paper using bottom of pan as your template. Remember, outside of pan is larger than the inside so it is ok if it is a hair smaller than pan bottom. Also, cut out tube hole.
- 2. Lay the wax paper in the bottom of the tube pan and grease inside of pan, wax piece and tube. Then put some flour in and make sure you flour all the way around. I usually tap my measuring cup against the tube to knock flour onto the tube all the way around as I am putting flour in the pan. Hold over counter or a bag or the trash can, holding on tightly to it and knock out excess flour.
- 3. Measure out flour into small mixing bowl and add salt and baking powder and blend well, then set aside for a moment. Open can of Apricot halves and pour some juice in small bowl and set aside. Drain remaining juice from can. Take 4 halves of Apricot and place in a small electric chopper or a blender and puree them. Strain out any tiny seed piece, place in a bowl and set aside.
- 4. Separate eggs, beat yolks together. Save whites (you will whip them into fluffy whites at end and fold them in), set aside.
- 5. In mixing bowl add sugar, crisco and milk and blend well (Do not over mix). Add in flour mixture next, a little at the time allowing it to blend well. Add in 1 tsp of the Apricot juice you saved, and you can dispose of remainder. Add in Apricot Extract and pureed Apricots and mix well. Now add in egg yolks and mix well.
- 6. Once batter is finished, beat egg whites until fluffy and gently fold into batter. Pour batter into pan, turning and pouring batter evenly throughout the pan. Do not drop, beat or shake to even out the batter. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the batter fairly even, doesn't have to be perfect.
- 7. Place cake in cold oven and bake at 275° for 1 1/2 hours, then increase heat to 325° for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Test doneness with a butter knife after the 30 minute mark at 325°. (Mine was done after 20 minutes on 325°) (Each oven and climate is different)
- 8. Once the cake is done place on a pice of card board wrapped in wax paper. Then wrap in a T pattern with 2 pieces of Aluminum foil. This will help it to remain moist until ready to serve.
- 9. If you would like to make a glaze for this Pound Cake here are a couple of ideas. 1. Basic Vanilla Glaze: 1/4 cup melted butter 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted, no lumps) 2 - 4 TBSP milk 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract Mix powdered sugar and butter, add in extract, then add in milk, but only use one TBSP at a time until you get the right consistancy. You may not need all 4 tbsps. Drizzle over cake if desired or set aside for guest choice. OR 2. Lemon Glaze: 1/4 cup melted butter 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted Add lemon juice to taste (You don't want the lemon flavor to be overpowering on your cake) Add a little water if needed to get proper consistency. (No Vanilla or milk) Drizzle over cake or set aside as above.

Steps:
- In a mixer bowl, beat the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix just until blended after each addition. Place 1/3 of the batter in a greased and floured bundt pan. Spread the apricot jam over the top of the batter. Add another 1/3 batter over the jam, then spread the rest of the jam. Finish with the last of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the pan and cool completely. I made a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk to drizzle over the top.

- Mix 2 cups confectioners sugar and 2-4 tablespoons of water, lemon juice, or apricot nectar in a small bowl with a whisk. Note: start with 2 tablespoon of liquid and slow add more if needed. It may take more liquid to get the desired consistency for the glaze. The glaze should flow smoothly; not too thin and not too thick. I like to compare to the consistency of honey.
