Vanilla and Apricot

Vanilla is something that is inserted in nearly every sweet recipe these days. I love vanilla so much that I almost the entire collection of Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body Works. It smells so good I could eat it! So, I had been wanting to try something different. Seems like you don't find too much apricot in recipes these days.

    This is what I came up with....                                                                 

Vanilla Cake with Apricot and Cream Filling

Apricot and cream? hmm...

What you will need: 

1 box French Vanilla Cake Mix

1 1/2 - 2 Jars of Apricot Jam

1 Tub of Whip Cream

This recipe is really easy!

Directions:

1. Make the cake according to the directions on the box

(i used two 8" round pans)

2. Let cake cool completely

3. Cut the top of the cake so it is an even flat surface

4. Place one cake on plate (or wherever you would like to keep it)

5. Layer cream and jam, doesn't matter the order

6. (repeat steps 4 and 5)

7. (repeat step 4)

8. Top with either cream or jam or add something different!

(p.s. I cut the 8" rounds in half so the cake wouldn't be so thick, it was really easy to layer this way)

I hope you enjoy!
