I found that I didn't like the almond extract. It used too much butter. It bubbled over while baking. The cake batter was okay. I'll go back to my original recipe using a box of yellow cake mix. Pat

I thought it was delicious, but then I love apricots. Inverting it onto the serving plate was a little messy, but if you are prepared for it, it's not too bad. I will definitely make it again.
