Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch tube pan or Bundt pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, brown sugar, flaked coconut, vegetable oil, apricot nectar, and lemon extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes, until well combined and smooth. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

04

Step
35 mins

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (35 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving dish. (10 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons apricot nectar, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Immediately pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. (2 minutes)

08

Step
15 mins

Let the glaze set before serving. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using toasted coconut flakes.
If apricot nectar is unavailable, peach nectar can be substituted.
The glaze can be customized with a hint of lemon zest for extra zing.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a more even cake texture.
To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also grease and flour the pan with a mixture of flour and powdered sugar.
