[Sca-cooks] Re: adding stuff to pound cake

[Devra at aol.com]

        I've tried and enjoyed the cranberry poundcake Finn posted here a 
while ago, but now I want advice on a new perversion - poundcake with candied 
apricots.  I've eaten a commercial version which I can't find any more, but since 
I have a whole box of c.ap. from Sunnyland Pecan Farms....  My query is - 
about how much would be appropriate? The cranberries don't interfere with the 
sweetness balance of the cake; indeed, they are tart.  Adding 8-10 oz of apricots 
might make the cake VERY sweet.  Also, would I be well-advised to cut the 
apricots in quarters before dredging with flour?
     Thanks
