Introduction

Super easy! - from Mrs. Fred Valentich, given to me by Winnie Pandol. They make this in the office from time to time. Yummy! Mrs. Valentich says " This is not my original recipe but it's one of those that gets handed around over the bridge table, across the fence or over a 10 o'clock cup of coffee. But it's so delicious. My family loves it. And it's so easy to make." And we love it too! - Beware, this *is* the type to make you lose control, so only make this when you know it is going to get eaten and have no leftovers!

Ingredients

    2 cans (27-27 oz each) apricots (2 1/2 size)
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup coconut
    1 yellow cake mix, unprepared
    1 stick of butter

Directions

Use a large oblong cake pan (11x17). Pour the apricots, juice and all, in the bottom of the pan.

Mix the chopped walnuts and coconut with the dry cake mix. Sprinkle over the apricots and dot with 1 cube of butter. Bake for one hour in 325-350 degree oven.

Cool, cut into squares, top with whipped cream if desired.

Mrs. Valentich says that the cake may look a little strange when it's removed from the oven. She said that one of her friends, a bride, threw it away when she baked it the first time, thinking it was a flop!

    If you substitute fresh, add some liquid. I tried it once and it came out much too dry.
