Cinnamon And Amaretto Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-low until thick and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions to ensure everything is homogenous. Slowly beat in the flour just until combined (the batter will be very thick).
• Scrape the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes to allow the sides to release, then invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons milk and whisk well. If the glaze drips off a spoon fluidly but slowly, it's done; if not, add more milk, a teaspoon or so at a time, until it does.
• Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides. Serve.

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.
