Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 extra large eggs
1 c sugar
1/2 c water
1/2 c amaretto
1/2 c canola oil
1/4 c butter, melted
2 c flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 c sliced almonds
GLAZE
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c water
1/4 c butter
1/4 c amaretto

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour loaf pans. I used a 5.2x9x2.75, you can use 4 of the 5 3/4x3x2 loaf pans, I didn't have this size.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, water, amaretto, oil and melted butter until well blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture, stir in almonds. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake for 1hr15min. for the larger loaf pan and if you use the small loaf pans 30 to 40 minutes.
  • 3. Make the glaze, combine sugar, water and butter in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and cook and stir 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in amaretto. Remove cake from oven let sit at least 5 minutes and pour glaze over the cake while still in the pan. Let stand until glaze is absorbed at least 30 minutes. You don't have to use all of the glaze, especially on the 1 large loaf. Remove cake from pan. This cake freezes well also.

AMARETTO PLAIN LOW CARB LOAF CAKE

I wanted to try my hand @ making a loaf type pound cake, that really tasted superb, & that you could eat without guilt, this is a winning recipe. The Amaretto extract adds all the flavor you need. The applesauce keeps the texture moist & soft. The best part is it only has 5 net carbs per serving, & only 10 carbs total, the fiber...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 c almond flour
1 1/2 c splenda zero calorie sweetner
1 c extra virgin olive oil
8 oz unsweetened apple sauce
1 Tbsp amaretto extract
7 drops yellow food color, optional
6 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 c black chia seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a large bowl add eggs, oil, chia seeds, applesauce, & Splenda. NOTE: Using room temperature eggs creates more volume to your cake batter.
  • 2. I used unsweetened applesauce & organic Chia seeds. In a seperate bowl add the almond flour & baking powder, then whisk together to blend.
  • 3. Beat until batter is mixed together and well combined.
  • 4. Add about half of almond flour to wet ingredients, then beat well to blend. Then add remaining flour and Amaretto extract & beat until batter is completely blended, about 2 minutes or so.
  • 5. Here is the Amaretto extract that I used. I ordered it from Amazon, and a little really does go a long way.
  • 6. Spray a loaf pan with Bakers Joy then add in the cake batter. Place in preheated 350 degree F. oven and bake for 45 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. always allow at least an inch or so from top of cake pan to allow cake to rise. I used a 12 inch X 4 1/2 inch X 3 1/4 inch size loaf pan, a bit longer than average, but you may also use a round cake pan if desired.
  • 7. Allow cake to cool in pan at least 8-10 minutes or so before inverting onto a platter or wire rack. Nutritional Info: Calories per serving 315, Fat 28 grams, Cholesterol 81 Mg, Sodium 29 Mg, Potassium 39 Mg. TOTAL CARBS 10 G, Fiber 5 G, Sugars 2, Protein 8 G, & NET CARBS PER SERVING 5G.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality amaretto liqueur for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have an amaretto liqueur, you can substitute another type of liqueur, such as almond or orange liqueur.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the cake batter, such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

Amaretto loaf cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture and almond flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give amaretto loaf cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
