Personal Notes:
This cake is great with a topping of 3/4 stick butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, juice of one lemon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Warm in small saucepan until thickened, stirring often. Add sliced almonds and dried sliced apricots to the mixture then top cake with this glaze. This has always been my favorite cake. It was a family favorite for birthdays instead of the gooey icing cakes from the store. Many in the family requested this one for their birthday instead.
