Ingredients:

Serving

1 package white cake mix (regular size)
1-1/4 cups water
3 egg whites
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1 tsp orange or lemon extract
2/3 cup apricot preserves
browned butter frosting:
1/2 cup butter
3-1/2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a small heavy saucepan, cook butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Pour into a large bowl; beat in confectionersâ sugar and orange juice.
Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the apricot preserves. Top with a second layer; spread with 1/2 cup frosting. Top with a third layer; spread with remaining apricot preserves. Top with the remaining layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
Sprinkle with nuts. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.
