Absolutely Heavenly Amaretto Cake image

This recipe comes from the Diocese of Louisiana, from a cookbook entitled "A Cook's Tour of the Bayou Country". Generally, I haven't found anything from Louisiana that didn't taste good! This cake turns out really moist.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 10 inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups cake flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup Amaretto, divided
3/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp apricot preserves
1/2-1 cup almonds, chopped, blanched, and toasted

Steps:

  • Beat butter at the medium speed of an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until it is soft and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating at medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition. Beat just until the yellow disappears.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in flavorings and 1/2 cup amaretto.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 12-cup Bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in a pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; remove from the pan, and let cool completely on the wire rack.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of amaretto, marmalade, and preserves in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until marmalade and preserves melt, stirring frequently. Drizzle over the cake; sprinkle with the almonds.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The amaretto flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I would make this cake again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar by half.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might have overbaked it. I would make this cake again, but I would be more careful with the baking time.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the amaretto flavor was too strong. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this cake again.
