Servings: 12
Ingredients

- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons apricot nectar for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease bundt pan with shortening.
- Mix together cake mix, 1 cup apricot nectar, 3/4 cup oil, eggs, and sugar in mixer at medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Pour mixture into greased bundt pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes.
- Let cake cool and then place on plate to release cake from pan.
- Mix together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of apricot nectar.

Notes
- You can usually find apricot nectar juice in the juice aisle of the grocery store or sometimes in the health food section. I have seen it packaged in a can or glass bottle.
- Don't overmix the batter. I like using an electric mixer to insure all the ingredients are combined. Just be sure not to overmix.
- Grease the pan. This is important to make sure the bundt cake will release from the pan. I like greasing the pan with shortening.
- Make sure the cake is done baking. Test to make sure the cake has finished baking by lightly pressing to see if it springs back. You may also insert a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
- Cool the cake. Make sure the cake is cooled before adding the icing.
