Back to Recipe List	* Exported from MasterCook * Amaretto Cake Recipe By : Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 12-01 Jan 2009 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 package yellow cake mix -- (18.25 ounces) 4 eggs 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix -- (5.1 ounces) 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon almond extract **Amaretto Glaze** 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. 2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, instant vanilla pudding, water, oil, almond extract and 2 tablespoons of the amaretto; blend together well. Pour batter into the prepared pan. 3. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and while it is still warm, poke holes in the surface (I use an ice pick). Drizzle with the Amaretto Glaze, insuring that some of the glaze fills the holes. Let the cake cool for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan. 4. To make Amaretto Glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar and combine it with the remaining 1/2 cup amaretto. Blend until smooth. You may add more amaretto as needed. Gonzo's Comments: This is one of my favorite recipes. It really has a nice and unique flavor. And it's easier than making a batch of frosting. I had problems with it sticking in the fluted fancy dancy pans and they are a bear to wash. So I went out to a restaurant supply and purchased a simple straight edged Bundt pan. Works better, looks almost as good and washes a lot easier. (I make this often, it is requested when I go out for a party.) Also I live in Mexico and we don't have pudding mixes down here. So I just leave it out and the cake comes out great. I use Duncan Hines and I think it has pudding in the mix. It's very moist anyway after you pour 1/2 cup of Amaretto over it. And you don't need to use the expensive stuff. Amaretto is nothing but vodka with almond flavoring. If you plan on making a few cakes buy an off brand label and save some money. ---> While Gonzo's oven temperature conversion of 350F to 175C is basically correct a generally used quick conversion is 350F/180C (or Gas 4); a moderate oven in other words. For cakes especially you need to know what your own oven does anyway. Just my loonie's worth. H.
