Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup amaretto liqueur
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup amaretto liqueur (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or spray it with nonstick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients (add in 3 parts dry, 2 parts milk). Mix until just combined.
Stir in the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, amaretto liqueur, and milk until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the completely cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides.
Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds for garnish.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Absolutely Heavenly Amaretto Cake!
