Can be frozen and tastes great weeks later. A funny story–Karla and I talked about getting a good Bundt pan. If you have looked for one, you know there are a zillion options. For Christmas, I got Karla one and, coincidentally, she got me one. Believe it or, from the many choices available on Amazon, we both picked the same one to gift each other! You should have seen my face when I thought I opened the gift i was going to give her!

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 pkg instant vanilla pudding mix (5.1 oz)
  • 2 Tbs amaretto liqueur
  • 1/2 C water
  • 1/2 C vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tea almond extract
  • 1/2 C amaretto liqueur
  • 1 C sifted confectioners' sugar

Method

Step 1

Preheat to 350 and grease and flour a 12 in Bundt pan. If you are using a fancy Bundt pan, you should definitely use "quick release" as the grease/flour step.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine cake mix , eggs, pudding, water, oil, almond extract and 2 Tbs liqueur. Pour into the greased bunt and bake for 40-45 minutes (until tooth pick comes out clean). Do not over beat the mix. Disaster occurs!

Step 3

While the cake bakes (40 to 45 minutes), pour yourself a little amaretto over ice and enjoy. Then make the glaze before the cake finishes baking. (The glaze is the remaining 1/2 C liqueur and powdered sugar.) If you have a large liquid measuring cup, use that to make the glaze since you will be pouring the glaze onto the cake.

Step 4

When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and poke holes in the top. You can use a the handle of wooden spoon or a chop stick, or something like that. Pour the glaze into the holes. Let it sit for about two hours then flip it over onto the serving plate.

Step 5

You can top it with more glaze. I would suggest you pour yourself a little more amaretto and enjoy looking at your handiwork.
