Time 3h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 (3.3 ounce) package instant white chocolate pudding mix
½ cup cold water
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup amaretto liqueur
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ cup butter
¼ cup water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup amaretto liqueur
1 (16 ounce) package vanilla frosting
¼ cup blanched slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 10 inch non-stick Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of cold water, oil, 1/2 cup amaretto and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Blend well for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared 10 inch Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from oven, and use an ice pick or skewer to make as many holes as possible into the cake. Apply glaze while cake is still warm. Slowly and patiently drizzle glaze over cake, including the edges and center of Bundt pan. Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours.
  • To make the glaze: Combine butter, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup amaretto in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and continue to boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Topping: Lightly toast slivered almonds in the oven. This will take 5 to 10 minutes. Stir frequently and be careful not to burn. Heat 1/4 cup of the prepared frosting in the microwave for 10 seconds, to soften. Place the cake on serving dish and use a spoon to drizzle the softened frosting over the cake. Scatter toasted almonds over cake before frosting cools.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 (3 1/3 ounce) package instant white chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly oil a 10 inch non-stick Bundt pan. (When I pour the mixture into my Bundt pan, it doesn't look very full--don't worry the cake will rise nicely as it bakes.).
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of cold water, 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 cup amaretto and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
  • Blend well for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared 10 inch Bundt pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. In my oven, the cake bakes in just under 40 minutes, so start checking it around that time.
  • Glaze:.
  • While cake is still warm, make the glaze.
  • Combine butter, sugar, water, and amaretto in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, and continue cooking and stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved (1-2 minutes).
  • Poke holes in cake with toothpick or skewer, so that the glaze can really get into the cake.
  • Slowly drizzle glaze over cake, including edges and center of Bundt pan.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours, after glazing.
  • Cool cake completely before putting on the frosting.
  • Topping (Frosting and almonds):.
  • Lightly toast slivered almonds in a dry pan (no oil or cooking spray) over the stove on medium-high. It will only take a few minutes to brown them.
  • Stir frequently and be careful not to burn.
  • Heat approximately 1/2 of the prepared frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds, to soften.
  • Before frosting the cake, invert the cake onto a serving dish and use a spoon to drizzle the softened frosting over the cake. (Note: to avoid the cake sticking in the pan, or if you feel like you are having trouble getting the cake out of the pan~hold the pan over a hot burner (use your hot mitts) this melts the butter enough to loosen the cake from the pan).
  • Scatter toasted almonds over cake before frosting cools.
  • **Cook time doesn't include 2 hours cool time.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that the batter mixes evenly and the cake bakes evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly and doesn't sink in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.

Conclusion:

This White Chocolate Amaretto Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. With its beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to impress your guests.
