1. Preheat the oven to moderate (180C). Brush a 23cm fluted ring tin with melted butter or oil.
2. Place the apricots in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and allow the apricots to soak while preparing the cake.
3. Make the packet cake mix according to the manufacturer's instructions, using buttermilk or milk as the liquid. Beat in the vanilla essence, lime rind and then the drained apricots. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of the cake. Spread icing when cold.
