Chocolate Amaretto Cream Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Butter Fudge Recipe Cake Mix (Devil’s Food works well too)

  • 2 tsps. Almond Extract

  • 2 pkg 1/3 less fat cream cheese

  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar

  • 3/4 cup Amaretto liquer

Instructions

  1. Prepare cake mix according to directions and add almond extract to the batter. Pour the batter into 2 greased 9-inch round cake pans, about 30-35 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the filling and frosting.
  2. Put the cream cheese and amaretto in a large mixing bowl and beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth.
  3. Once the cakes have cooled, torte them into 4 layers. Spread the filling on each layer of the cake. Use the remaining filling to frost the cake. While this cake is very good, it is also very rich. To tone it down a little, use buttercream or store-bought cream cheese icing to frost your cake.
