Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix (about 1 2/3 cups)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup slivered almonds, finely ground
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
3 cups assorted fresh berries (such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries)
3/4 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons apple juice
3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Generously spray bottom and side of 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour.
  • In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
  • Bake and cool as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds.
  • Place berries in medium bowl. In 1-quart saucepan, heat preserves and apple juice to boiling, stirring frequently. Pour over berries; toss berries until coated with preserves mixture. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Gently cut off any dome from top of cake, using serrated knife, to make top level. On serving plate, place cake, sliced side down. Arrange berries on cake; drizzle with syrup remaining in bowl. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Store leftover cake covered in refrigerator.
