How to Make Apricot Bourbon Cake

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all the cake ingredients except the apricot preserves and beat at medium speed for two minutes.
Pour into two greased and floured 8"round pans, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean; let cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
To make the frosting, combine everything in a medium sized bowl and beat with a mixer until spreading consistency.
To assemble, top one layer with the apricot preserves; top with second layer. Spread the top and sides with frosting.
