Instructions for Apricot Torte

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, eggs, and apricot syrup. Beat on low speed to blend, then beat on medium for 3 minutes.
Divide batter between 2 greased and floured round pans. They do not have to be torte pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool on rack in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on rack. Slice each layer horizontally. You will have 4 layers.
For Filling and Frosting, which are the same: In large bowl, combine cream cheese and condensed milk. Beat on low to medium speed until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, then whipped topping. Blend well. Fold in chopped apricots.
Fill each layer with Filling/Frosting and then frost the entire cake with the remaining Filling/Frosting.
Keep cake refrigerated. You may need to refrigerate your frosting before using or refrigerate each layer after frosting to allow it to set, to prevent an avalanche. Put the second cake layer on and see if the frosting is trying to escape between layers. If it is, refrigerate the frosting and cake for 45-60 minutes after you frost each layer. This will keep everything firm and held together. This torte is actually quite good chilled.
