This cake is a great way to start the day. It's sweet, but not too sweet, and the apricots add a nice touch of flavor.

I'm allergic to apricots, so I used peaches instead. The cake still turned out great!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. It was still good, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed this cake. The apricot flavor was really strong and it balanced out the coffee flavor.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a bunch of apricots that were about to go bad, so I made this cake and it turned out great.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
