Hi Dorel; Okay, this is a great recipe, so nice and fruity, just love it. The only problem I had was wondering what to do with the left over Apricot Brandy. Well, I ended up drinking it, then realized I should have saved it to marinate the cake later. Thanks for sharing a great recipe. This is much like the cake that I make. "Uncle Bill"
