Note
Note: The original ingredient list appears to contain formatting errors merging multiple items (e.g., "Yeast 2 Eggs"). This recipe assumes a standard coffee cake method using butter, eggs, flour, and dried fruits. Adjust yeast if this is intended as a yeast-raised bread cake rather than a butter cake.
Storage: Store cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Variation: Substitute dried cranberries or raisins for the apricot fruit spread if preferred.
