Amaretto Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 5-by-10-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan, and line with parchment paper. Butter lining; dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess.
• Whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time; mix until smooth. Mix in extracts. With mixer on low speed, mix in reserved flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of milk; mix until smooth.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer cake in pan to a wire rack. Poke holes all over top of cake with a wooden skewer. Pour liqueur on top; let cool completely.
• Invert cake to unmold; peel off parchment, and reinvert. Just before serving, cut cake into 3/4-inch slices, and top with flambeed pineapple and sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix in half the flour mixture on low speed until just combined. Pour in amaretto and mix gently. Add in remaining flour mixture; blend until just combined. Batter will be somewhat thick; pour evenly into prepared tube pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 40 minutes.
• To make glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, heavy cream, amaretto, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together until smooth. Add more heavy cream if glaze is too thick. Pour glaze over cooled cake; top with sliced almonds and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
• 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.
• 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. 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bundt pan.
