Apricot Brandy And Peach Schnapps Pound Cake Recipe


Apricot Brandy And Peach Schnapps Pound Cake Recipe
I found this recipe online a few years ago and I have been making it for Christmas and Easter ever since. Nobody passes up a piece of the rich moist pound cake. It takes a little extra time and effort but it is well worth it.
