Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour two 9- or 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, combine cake mix, 1 1/3 cups apricot nectar and eggs at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour into greased and floured pans.
Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
To assemble cake, slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make 4 layers. Place 1 cake layer cut side up on serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup spreadable fruit. Repeat with second and third cake layers and spreadable fruit. Top with remaining cake layer.
In small bowl, combine pudding mix, milk and 2 tablespoons apricot nectar; blend well. Add thawed whipped topping; beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Frost sides and top of cake. Sprinkle top with toasted coconut. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator.
