Apricot Brandy Bundt Cake
This was given to me called an apricot brandy cake but perhaps it would be better named the essence cake with rum, orange, almond, lemon and vanilla essence included. Taste great though so who cares what it is called?

This is one of the best pound cakes I have ever had, very moist and flavourful. Next time will add chopped dried apricots, we love apricots! I used apricot nectar instead of brandy because they were gifts for families with young children. I made 5 mini loaves, baked at 325 for 55 minutes. 4 for my sons teachers, 1 for us! Yummy! - 18 Jun 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I have the same recipe and this is delicious! Full of flavor. The only difference(which is optional) all 1/2 C. chopped apricots that are lightly floured. - 27 Aug 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
WOW, great flavor and texture. This was luscious, Melissa.We loved the combination of flavors provided by the various extracts. Your grandpa sure knew his way around the kitchen to come up with this great cake! I served it with apricot sauce and a dollop of whipped cream at our dinner party. Everyone loved it. - 30 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
