Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 10 inch non-stick Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of cold water, oil, 1/2 cup amaretto and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Blend well for approximately 3 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared 10 inch Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven, and use an ice pick or skewer to make as many holes as possible into the cake. Apply glaze while cake is still warm. Slowly and patiently drizzle glaze over cake, including the edges and center of Bundt pan. Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours.
- To make the glaze: Combine butter, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup amaretto in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and continue to boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Topping: Lightly toast slivered almonds in the oven. This will take 5 to 10 minutes. Stir frequently and be careful not to burn.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly oil a 10 inch non-stick Bundt pan. (When I pour the mixture into my Bundt pan, it doesn't look very full--don't worry the cake will rise nicely as it bakes.).
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of cold water, 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 cup amaretto and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
- Blend well for approximately 3 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared 10 inch Bundt pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. In my oven, the cake bakes in just under 40 minutes, so start checking it around that time.
- Glaze:.
- While cake is still warm, make the glaze.
- Combine butter, sugar, water, and amaretto in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, and continue cooking and stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved (1-2 minutes).
- Poke holes in cake with toothpick or skewer, so that the glaze can really get into the cake.
- Slowly drizzle glaze over cake, including edges and center of Bundt pan.
- Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours, after glazing.
- Cool cake completely before putting on the frosting.
- Topping (Frosting and almonds):.
- Lightly toast slivered almonds in a dry pan (no oil or cooking spray) over the stove on medium-high. It will only take a few minutes to brown them.
- Stir frequently and be careful not to burn.
- Heat approximately 1/2 of the prepared frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds, to soften.
- Before frosting the cake, invert the cake onto a serving dish and use a spoon to drizzle the softened frosting over the cake. (Note: to avoid the cake sticking in the pan, or if you feel like you are having trouble getting the cake out of the pan~hold the pan over a hot burner (use your hot mitts) this melts the butter enough to loosen the cake from the pan).
- Scatter toasted almonds over cake before frosting cools.
- **Cook time doesn't include 2 hours cool time.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate and amaretto liqueur.
- To ensure the cake bakes evenly, preheat the oven and use a baking pan that is the right size.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
- For a smoother frosting, use softened butter and cream cheese.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
- To decorate the cake, use chopped nuts, grated white chocolate, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
This white chocolate amaretto cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is complemented perfectly by the rich and creamy frosting. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress your friends and family.
