Ingredients for Apricot Bundt Cake

  • Yellow Cake Mix
  • Apricot Gelatin
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2-4 tablespoons apricot nectar (for glaze)
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

How to Make Apricot Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3 oz) package apricot jello, 3 large eggs, ¾ cup apricot nectar, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons apricot nectar until smooth and pourable. Add more nectar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to seep into the cake.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
