7 UP Apricot Upside-Down Cake
You are not going to believe how wonderful a couple bottles of 7UP and a bag of dried apricots can taste!

Sock It To Me Cake

Prune Cake with Caramel Coffee Glaze
My Aunt Irene made this cake every year during the fall and for holiday gatherings. It was years before I knew it was called prune cake. Good call on my mother’s part because there is no way a bite would have crossed my lips otherwise. Prune cake?!?! YUK! Who wants prunes? This cake is so…
