Amber Rum Cake image

I was looking for a rum cake recipe and I found this one in one of my mom's old church cookbooks. It actually turned out great! It's really moist and the the flavors of the apricot nectar and the rum go together well. My favorite rum to use with this is Bacardi gold. Whenever I make this for people, they always ask me for the recipe. So here it is!
