Apricot Nectar Cake I

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"This cake is foolproof. I did not have any lemon juice for the glaze, so I used some of the leftover nectar and some lemonade powder. It tasted great." —MOMINMICH2

We used Nordic Ware's 10-cup Honeycomb Pull-Apart Pan. To properly grease intricate pans, use shortening and a pastry brush to ensure full coverage, then dust with flour. Alternately, use a nonstick cooking spray that's specially formulated for baking.

"BEST GAZPACHO OF LIFE. The recipe is perfect as is - but I added cider vinegar instead of balsamic because that's all I had and I added some fresh dill because I had it on hand. Hats off to the chef for making my day with this recipe." —Carolyn

Try this sweet butter on biscuits, croissants, or dinner rolls. If you'd like, double and store leftovers in an airtight container; chill up to two weeks or freeze up to two months. To serve, let stand at room temperature until softened.
