In the South (and probably most places) there are many reasons to take food. When someone passes away you take food to the family of the deceased, when someone has a baby you take a meal to the family, if someone has had surgery you take a meal, or for Decoration Day you take something to share in a potluck meal. In our family my husband’s cousin Opal always brought a cake. Now this wasn’t just any cake. It was the most moist, fresh, and delicious cake you have ever eaten. Before Opal passed away she shared with me her recipe. I am so thankful to have this in my collection of family recipes!
I had not made this cake in years! This past Thanksgiving I pulled out the recipe and made if for our dessert instead of a pie. My dad, who was visiting us for Thanksgiving, made the comment he usually prefers pie over cake but this was the best cake he had ever had and I caught him going back for seconds.
We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. And find a reason to take a dessert to a gathering and make this cake. It’s really easy.https://www.kitchenkreative.com/opals-apricot-nectar-cake/
