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.

*TIP: To toast coconut, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350° F. for 7 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or spread in thin layer in microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on LOW for 4 1/2 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown, tossing with fork after each minute.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Add 1/3 cup flour to dry cake mix. Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 35 minutes. (Bake 8-inch pans 30 to 40 minutes.)
