This apricot nectar cake with lemon glaze is a new favorite. Thanks to my friend in Montgomery, Alabama, for requesting this cake and encouraging me to find a really great recipe for it. The glaze is what really brings the cake to life and joy to my mouth! Y’all enjoy!
Apricot Nectar Cakelets with Lemon Glaze
I'm calling these "cakelets" since they are tiny bundt cakes. Just the right size for giving to friends!

- mix cake and sugar together
- add oil and nectar and mix well
- add eggs one at a time mixing well after each
- spray bundt pans with baking spray
- fill pan about 1/2 to 2/3 full (don't overfill or they will run over in your oven)
- place a cookie sheet under your bundt pans just in case they run over when rising
- place in 325 degree oven for about 25 minutes, testing for doneness. Don't overcook or they will be dry.
- While cakes are baking, sift powdered sugar into a bowl and stir in lemon juice with a wire whip to make sure it is smooth and no lumps.
