Does anyone have any good recipes for an amaretto cake? My bride wants an amaretto flavored cake with regular buttercream... Even if theres is a good amaretto cake mix that is tasty an help would be appreciated...

This is one of my recipes for amaretto cakes, you can omit the almonds if you wish.

AMARETTO CAKE

1 1/2 c. chopped almonds, toasted and divided
1 (18.5 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix without pudding
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. amaretto
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. amaretto
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Sprinkle 1 cup almonds into bottom of a well-greased and floured 10-inch tube pan; set aside.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, water, amaretto, and almond extract in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium, and beat 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup almonds.

Pour batter into prepared tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10-15 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely.

Combine sugar, 1/4 cup water, and butter in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and gently boil 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat and cool 15 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup amaretto and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Punch holes in top of cake with a wooden pick; slowly spoon glaze on top of cake, allowing glaze to absorb into cake.

I hope you like it.

Thank you I will try them both

Amaretto is an "almond" flavor liquor. You might want to ask her but she may just be looking for the almond flavor. I use the wasc recipe posted here on cc and use 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 almond flavorings
