Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

3 cups sugar

6 eggs

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup apricot nectar

3/4 teaspoon orange extract

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

3/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Apricot nectar, powdered sugar, and toasted almonds if glazing the cake*

Directions

In mixer bowl, with an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition

Whisk flour and salt in a medium bowl

Add flour alternately with the sour cream

Mix well

Add the apricot nectar, mixing well

Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon soda in 1 tablespoon hot water, add to batter

Mix well

Add the extracts, mixing well

Pour batter into a greased and lightly floured tube pan

Bake in a 300 degree oven for ABOUT 1 hour and 20 minutes

Since ovens vary in temperature, test for doneness. There will be no indentation when cake is pressed lightly with finger, OR insert a toothpick, and when it comes out clean, it is done. Also cake will slightly pull away from pan

Remove from oven, cool for about 10 minutes

Turn onto cake plate

*May glaze with a mixture of apricot nectar, powdered sugar and toasted almonds.....just mix enough nectar and powdered sugar to make a fairly thin glaze, add toasted almonds, and *spoon-drizzle* on crown of cake, letting it drip down the sides

CAKE IS ALSO DELICIOUS WITH NO GLAZE

Sure could have used this when we lived in San Jose...we had a very prolific apricot tree in our back yard then. Hope to have another one in our retirement soon...so thanks for this!
