Here are three I have thought about
But then again mine has served me well for some 40 years-if its not broken why fix it!
I still own this $.99 copy (circa 1974)
and today its called vintage online to buy for $14.95.
Amaretto Almond Bundt Cake
Cook's Notes: A moist cake perfect for almond lovers served with a cup of coffee or tea. Absolutely delicious and its one recipe were I made very few adaptations. A sprinkle of toasted coconut and almonds over the icing top is the piece de resistance.
Recipe from bakeorbreak.com
Cake Ingredients:
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 TB. almond-flavored liqueur, such as Amaretto
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp.almond extract
- 1 cup milk (I used 2%)
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1 tsp. Amaretto
- Garnish-toasted sliced almonds and coconut
Cake Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 10- or 12- cup Bundt pan.
- Whisk together the flour, almond flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the liqueur, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three portions, alternating with two portions of milk. Mix just until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, flip the cake onto a serving plate to continue cooling.
- Whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons of the cream, amaretto and the almond extract.
- Add more cream, about a teaspoonful at a time, until the glaze is the desired consistency. It should be thick but pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Garnish with almonds.
I don't own a bundt pan. So, when I see recipes like this, I think, I really ought to buy one.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed you never acquired one over the years. Now they have become a vintage item. Once a very long time ago they were such a hot item.
