Apricot Sheet Cake – Recipe

apricot-cake2Apricot Cake is a must on our dessert platter, especially when our sons are visiting us for the holidays.

They enjoy most of my baked goods, but this one is their favorite, maybe because they can’t find it anywhere else.

A friend of mine, who is not a big fan of apricots, gave this cake a five-star rating…:-).
