Amaretto Cake Recipe"A cake mix, amaretto, and a little doctoring up"
This amaretto cake recipe is one of those easy cake recipes
that uses a cake mix. Yikes, I know. Purists are shrieking! (Ok, and I would be too, if I hadn't used this cake mix ratio a dozen times or more.)
This is very similar to an Italian rum cake that my grandma made forever. And one that Duncan Hines put out thirty years ago. And since my grandma used that recipe for years. I feel I have my grandma's blessings from above to post this recipe. I will be adding another amaretto cake recipe that does not use a mix but has nectarines on top. And if you are interested I have a yellow cake recipe made from scratch (My Peach Cake Recipe) that uses amaretto. This cake is all amaretto, no fruit, no chunks or swirls. It's a plain glazed cake made in a bundt pan. Whew! Now that we got past that, here's some pointers. I find this is best made at least 24 hours before serving. The glaze just permeates the cake and fills your taste buds with amaretto goodness. Too, after you make it, cover it tightly to get the flavors mingling. See my recipe list of other Italian cakes in the section below. And there are a few FAQs and questions answered. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy sugar (all the time).

Lisa Amaretto Cake RecipeCake Ingredients: * 1 package yellow cake mix(roughly an 18.25 ounce mix) * 4 eggs * 1 box of instant vanilla pudding (I only add this if the mix has no pudding in it) * 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur * 1/2 cup water * 1/2 cup vegetable oil ( see below ) Glaze Ingredients: * 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur * 1 cup sifted confectioner's' sugar Glaze Procedure Mix well the : confectioner's' sugar with the 1/2 cup amaretto. Get rid of all lumps You may add more amaretto as needed OR LESS! Amaretto Cake Recipe Procedure * Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). * Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. * In a large bowl, mix all this together - cake mix, eggs, instant vanilla pudding, water, oil, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons of the amaretto. * Pour batter into the prepared pan. * Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Or till done. * Don't take it out of the pan. * While the cake is still warm poke some small holes in the cake but don't make the holes go all the way through to the pan. * Drizzle the glaze into the holes. You won't use all the glaze, just enough to get in the holes. * You know your cake pan - so remove the cake when you feel it won't stick. * Some of the amaretto glaze will spill out. Don't worry about it. * Now with the cake upright, add some tiny holes to the top of the cake. Poke away. * Pour the rest of the glaze on top. * And yes, it will spill over. Let it go! * Cover real tight and let sit at least half a day. A full day is best. Where's the nuts?In your pantry. Add 'em if you want. I do often. I put them on the bottom of the bundt pan - and pour my batter right over it. Vegetable oil, seriously?I know, it's a mild panic for us purists
that are butter-only-bakers. But I can assure you
my grandma has used this ratio of vegetable oil for 30+ years and it's fine.
If you can't bare it - use butter, but your cake will be more dense.
Either is fine. The butter or vegetable oil.
