Mom's Scrumptious Apricot Nectar Treat

Ingredients 0/7

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan so the cake doesn’t stick. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil, stirring until everything is well blended. Then, pour in the apricot nectar and mix it all together until smooth.

Step 2

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and pop it in the oven. Keep an eye on it after about 20 minutes—you're looking for the edges to turn a nice light brown and the top to feel springy when you press it gently. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. This usually takes around 30 minutes.

Step 3

Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely before moving on to the frosting. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar with lemon juice, adding the juice slowly—about a tablespoon at a time—until the frosting is smooth and easy to spread. It should be a little runny but not too thin.

Step 4

Finally, spread the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle some fresh lemon zest on top for a bright, zesty finish. Enjoy!
