Ingredients
For the cake
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix 1 package
- 3/4 cup apricot nectar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 3 oz apricot-flavored gelatin package
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
For the glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons apricot nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, apricot nectar, vegetable oil, eggs, apricot-flavored gelatin, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes for a bundt pan or 35-40 minutes for a 9x13-inch pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, apricot nectar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in and create a sweet, glossy finish.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
