I made this cake yesterday for a holiday party and everyone loved it!!! I altered the recipe slightly by adding fresh lemon zest and finely chopped mixed nuts to the batter. I baked the cake in a decorative "snowflake" pan. Making the glaze I put the juice of a whole lemon (instead of 2 Tbs) and mixed in the powdered sugar until I had the consistency I wanted -- on the thinner side. I brushed the top and sides of the cake with this mixture. When the cake cooled I dusted the top with "snow" (powdered sugar). It was VERY EASY and a refreshing change from the spice and chocolate recipes we all love at this time of the year! Happy Holidays!

Excellent! As far as I know, we don't have a tube cake pan, so I just used a regular cake pan and it worked fine. My wife is the cake fan in the family and she loved it, but I also enjoyed it too. The glaze is exceptional and really makes this cake. As one other reviewer suggested, I made extra glaze, in total 1/2 more than the recipe calls for and I'm glad I did. The cake was moist and delicious, though it was a little too dark brown on the top. It was actually done in 45 minutes, which may relate to the kind of pan I used. Cooking it this way or maybe because of my oven efficiency, the bake time minimum of 50 minutes was a little too long. This recipe takes the cake!

I loved this cake. It was easy to make and so moist that I almost wish I had left the glaze off... almost. I could see adding some other fruit flavors or using a white cake and say pear nectar. Why not? A keeper!

I did not have a tube pan or bundt pan so I used a 9X13 pan and baked the cake for 40 minutes. It was quite moist and a big hit at a ladies club.

This cake is fool-proof. I did not have any lemon juice so I used some of the left over nectar & some lemonade powder and it still tasted great.

I was looking for a recipe to use some dried apricots that I had. I boiled them and then pureed them with the boiling liquid and that is what I used in place of the "nectar". I also added 1/4 cup of water to the mix. Easy recipe. Took to work. Everyone like the cake.

I made 2 of these this weekend and received rave reviews! Both came together very easily and was great to use up the apricot nectar! I did one in a bundt pan (baking time was right on) with diced dried apricot bits (rehydrated: poured very hot water over them, let them sit for 5 minutes, drained) folded into the batter. The other was following the recipe but in a 9x13" (baking time ~40 minutes). Both were great, but the general consensus was the cake with apricot bits was better... Oh, and they were plenty sweet and moist without the glaze, so I just sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar over top.
