Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

  2. Prepare the cake: Combine cake mix and gelatin mix in a large bowl. Add eggs, apricot nectar, oil, and lemon extract. Mix to combine, then beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

  4. While the cake is baking, make the glaze: Combine confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; stir until smooth.

  5. Remove the cake from the oven. With the cake still in the pan, pour glaze over top of hot cake, tipping the pan to allow excess glaze to run down the sides of the pan. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
