Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 45 minutes
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with baking spray; set aside. Purée carrots with their liquid, tomato paste and milk in a blender until smooth.
Mix cake mix, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and raisins in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Add puréed carrot mixture and eggs, and beat on low speed for 30 seconds and on high for 2 minutes, until the batter is thick and smooth.
Pour and scrape batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 45 minutes until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool in the pan on rack for 20 to 30 minutes, until cool enough to touch. Remove cake from pan and cool on rack until room temperature.
While the cake is baking, prepare the apricot curd. Drain 1 can apricots. Purée the drained and undrained apricots and cornstarch in a blender until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, butter, vanilla and remaining cinnamon until smooth; cool completely. Cut in 12 wedges and serve wedges of cake with sauce.
