    In large clear glass bowl, place one-third of the cake cubes. Spread one-third of the lemon mixture over cake cubes. Top with one-third of the apricots. Repeat twice. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours but no longer than 8 hours.

  • You can use 1 can (16 ounces) apricot halves in juice, well drained and sliced, for the fresh apricots.
  • Bake a foolproof Betty Crocker® angel food cake mix to use in this recipe. Cut half of a baked cake into 1-inch cubes for this recipe.
