Apricot Bundt Cake image

A super moist, sweet and delicious apricot cake. When I originally made this, I accidentally put the glaze ingredients into the batter - and it turned out so good, I am modifying the recipe to reflect how I made it instead of how I was SUPPOSED to make it. :) Original recipe found on about.com.
