  • Yield: 1 (10x15-inch) jelly roll pan

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Set aside 1/2 cup of the dry cake mix.
  • Mix together eggs and sour cream in a medium bowl. Stir in package of cake mix. Batter will be lumpy. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon, make 15 wells in the batter, 3 rows of 5. Beat together cream cheese and milk in another bowl until fluffy. Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each well. Place 1 apricot half, cut side up, onto each well of cream cheese.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • To make the glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar and water until smooth, adding another teaspoon of water if necessary. Drizzle over the Danish when cool.
