For an enhanced apricot flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped dried apricots to the batter. If you don't have apricot brandy on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of apricot nectar or orange juice. To prevent the cake from sticking, ensure the Bundt pan is thoroughly greased and floured, or use a baking spray with flour.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases cleanly. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, vegetable oil, 3/4 cup of apricot nectar, and apricot brandy (if using). Use an electric mixer on low speed to initially combine the ingredients, then increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well-aerated. (8 minutes)
03
StepCarefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched. (45 minutes)
05
StepAllow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This prevents the cake from breaking. (20 minutes)
06
StepWhile the cake is cooling, prepare the icing. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of apricot nectar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a smooth, glossy glaze. (5 minutes)
07
StepLet the icing cool for one minute, then drizzle it evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. (3 minutes)
08
StepLet the icing set for about 10 minutes before serving. (10 minutes)

May 24, 2025I added a bit of almond extract to the icing, and it complemented the apricot flavor beautifully. Will definitely make this again!
