Step 1

Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl with a hand mixer at low, beat all ingredients except
preserves and lemon juice for about 30 seconds. Scrape bowl frequently.
Turn mixer to high and beat for about 2 minutes. Pour into pan.

20 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool thoroughly.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine preserves and lemon juice. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until preserves have melted. Cool to lukewarm.
Spoon half of the preserves mixture over the cake. Serve with remaining
preserves and top with whipped cream, if desired.
