APRICOT GLAZED POUND CAKE
I have been making this recipe for over 20 years, and it has become an Easter tradition in my family! Don't just wait for a holiday to bake this cake, however. It's too good! This is a rich, elegant cake and is perfect anytime and really is worth the ingredients if you don't have them handy. I have taken this cake to parties...
