This topping adds a pretty and delicious topping to this cake.

ORANGE APRICOT SAUCE: In a small saucepan, combine zest, juice, and honey.

Bring to a boil, add apricots, and remove from heat. Let stand until apricots are plumped and mixture has cooled, about 20 minutes. Transfer mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve warm or chilled. Makes about one cup.

By the way I just so happen to be making this cake and topping Friday when I have a bunch of friends over for fellowship.
