Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Amaretto liqueur
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur (for glaze)
- 0.25 cups Slivered almonds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk and amaretto liqueur. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of amaretto liqueur in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and garnish with slivered almonds.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
