Apricot Nectar Pound Cake image

This a rich, moist cake that is easy to make. It is a recipe that you can easily adjust, to take on the flavors you want to experiment with. I like it without the brandy but some want more of an apricot flavor. Give it a try!

This pound cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the apricot flavor was barely there. I won't be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of fruit cakes, but this one changed my mind. The apricot nectar gave it a moist and tender crumb, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch. Will definitely be making this again!
