Mom's Apricot Nectar Cake
Description
A moist and easy lemon cake includes apricot nectar for a delightfully fruity flavor boost.
Ingredients
•
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package lemon cake mix
•
4 eggs
•
1/2 cup vegetable oil
•
1 cup apricot nectar
•
2 cups confectioners' sugar
•
1/2 cup lemon juice, or as needed
•
1 teaspoon lemon zest, or to taste
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
3
Mix lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir apricot nectar into the batter and mix well.
4
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
5
Bake in preheated oven until the cake is lightly browned at the edges and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean or with moist crumbs. Check for doneness after 20 minutes.
6
Cool cake completely.
7
Mix confectioners' sugar with lemon juice, mixing juice in about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is fluid and easy to spread. Frosting should run slightly but not be a thin runny glaze.
8
Spread frosting on cooled cake and sprinkle with lemon zest to serve.
