serves/makes:

ready in:
1-2 hrs

ingredients

1/2 cup real butter, melted
1 box (18.25 ounce size) butter cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup apricot nectar instead of water

Glaze
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup apricot nectar

directions

Mix the butter, cake mix and other ingredients, except water, and nectar as directed on the box. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 40-45 minutes. Leave cake in pan.

Glaze while still warm and in the pan. It mixes better if nectar is warmed slightly in the microwave a few seconds. Let stand in pan several hours or overnight.

cook's notes

This cake can be very odd. Sometimes it rises to the top of the pan, and this will use almost all the glaze. Sometimes it falls, so be a little more sparing of the glaze or it may be too wet.
