Looking for a dessert for your Memorial Day gathering? Here's a recipe for those warm weather months when you need something cold and delicious that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  I first came across this recipe while attending the 155th anniversary reenactments at Shiloh battlefield in Tennessee in 2017.  I had just finished my comprehensive exams before graduating from graduate school, so my husband and I rented a room at a bed and breakfast (https://www.pillowstreetbnb.com/) out of town for the weekend to celebrate.  We ended up being the only people staying that weekend and the owner took great care of us.  She even fixed us breakfast each morning and dinner one night.  She served the best banana pudding with dinner and I knew I just had to have the recipe.  She was kind enough to share it with me and it has been a favorite of friends and family ever since.  Get out your recipe cards and a pen, you'll want to write this one down.  

This dessert is perfect for those warm summer nights when you want something sweet and citric.  The recipe comes from my boss's grandmother, Ms. Finley.  I got to try a slice of her apricot version and fell in love.  When I got the recipe, my boss mentioned that it could also be made with peach nectar if I didn't want to use apricot.  I was immediately sold!  I highly recommend trying the peach version, it's my favorite. This cake is one of those desserts that makes you crave it again as soon as you finish the last slice.  It's moist and light with a sweet drizzle poured over the top.  Whether you're a lover of apricots or peaches, I think you'll discover that this is a recipe that you'll want to make time and time again.  Enjoy!
