This Almond Amaretto Pound Cake is moist, buttery, and so flavorful! Topped with homemade Almond and Amaretto Cream Cheese Frosting and Slivered Almonds, it’s a total showstopper, too. Perfect for any celebration!
While I’ve never actually drank amaretto, I LOVE baking with it! Last week I made you a batch of almond amaretto chocolate chunk cookies and this week, we’re making ALMOND Amaretto POUND CAKE! And it’s a welcome addition to the cake archives. Because this bundt cake is the definition of perfect! It’s crumb is dense yet moist and super buttery. And the flavor is so rich and almondy, without being overpowering! And to top it all off, the cream cheese frosting is silky smooth and spiked with a shot of amaretto liqueur and a little almond extract. Then the cake is simply garnished with a handful of slivered almonds and it’s ready to be served.

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 3/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 cup amaretto
Amaretto Sauce
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
