Extra-Moist Spice Cake

2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups sugar
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaping teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 jars (4 3/4-ounce) apricot strained baby food
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Powdered sugar for garnish

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and lightly flour bundt pan, shaking out excess flour. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and cloves in large bowl. Add oil, eggs, baby food and vanilla and beat well. Stir in pecans. Pour into bundt pan. Bake until tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly in pan, then invert onto platter. Let cool completely. Dust top with powdered sugar, if desired. NOTE: Cake keeps very well and actually tastes better after spices have seasoned through after a day or so.
