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 When I originally made this, I accidentally put the glaze ingredients into the batter - and it turned out so good, I am modifying the recipe to reflect how I made it instead of how I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.

  • 2. Mix butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add sour cream, apricot nectar, lemon extract, almond extract and 3/4 of the jar of preserves. Gradually add in baking soda and flour. Beat all ingredients together for about 30 seconds. Turn mixer on medium to high speed and beat for about 1 additional minute. Pour into pan.

If needed, dissolve about 3 teaspoons of cornstarch in additional nectar in a small bowl and add by teaspoons to the glaze mixture to thicken slightly. Let glaze cool for about 10 minutes and then spoon over cake.
