Every year for his birthday, my dad asks my mom for her famous Apricot Cake. It's his favorite, and it's one of my all time favorites too!!! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...we've just got good taste bud genes. :-)

So, to cure you from those Monday blues...I thought I'd share the recipe with you--to make the first day of the work week not such a doozy! Trust me, this cake is amazing!!!!!!

Apricot Cake Recipe:
