Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 package apricot gelatin (jello)
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup apricot nectar
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 orange
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, apricot gelatin (jello), vegetable oil, apricot nectar, and eggs.
-
Mix Thoroughly:
- Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
-
Bake:
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare the Glaze:
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and orange juice in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Cool and Remove:
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to remove from the pan later.
-
Transfer and Poke Holes:
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Use a toothpick to poke several holes all over the surface of the cake.
-
Glaze the Cake:
- Drizzle the prepared glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and spread evenly across the surface.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the Apricot Nectar Cake and serve it up to delight your taste buds with its fruity goodness. Enjoy the moist texture and vibrant flavors with every bite!
