Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk and amaretto liqueur. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of amaretto liqueur in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and garnish with slivered almonds.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
