goldie's apricot nectar cake (sallye)
This was one of my mothero-in-law Goldie's signature cakes. I haven't made this in years, but found the recipe tucked into one of my cookbooks so thought I would give it a whirl and see if it tasted as good as my memory thinks.

How To Make goldie's apricot nectar cake (sallye)
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325º Butter and flour bundt or tube pan and set aside
-
Step 2With electric mixer, beat together cake mix, sugar, oil and 1 cup apricot nectar in large bowl. Continue to mix with electric mixer, adding eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Step 3Pour into prepared bundt or tube pan and spread out evenly. Bake in 325º preheated oven for 1 hour. Test cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the thickest part. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let cool for about 5 minutes in pan, then gently run thin knife or spatula around edges and turn out onto serving plate
-
Step 4While cake is still warm, drizzle glaze over it. To make glaze, Whisk together confectioners sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup apricot nectar until well blended. Optional you can punch small holes in cake to let the glaze penetrate down into the cake, but I never do that.
