Robin’s Amaretto Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

Cake:
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 box butter cake mix
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 cup Amaretto
4 eggs
2/3 cup butter, room temperature

Glaze:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Amaretto

Instructions

Cake:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 10-inch bundt pan.

Toast the pecans in a frying pan with about 1 TBSP butter. When done, sprinkle the nuts in the bottom of the bundt pan.

Combine cake mix, flour, Amaretto, eggs and butter. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter in the pan over the nuts.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until cake tester tests clean.

Glaze:

While the cake is cooking, I placed these ingredients in a pan on very low on the top of the stove.
Spoon over the cake per the directions. While in pan, use long pick to poke holes in cake and spoon 1/2 the glaze over the cake.
Let sit in pan about 10 minutes to soak in. Turn out onto a plate and carefully poke holes in the top. Spoon other 1/2 of glaze over the top.
