• How to make the cake:
• Preheat Oven at 325 degrees.
• Grease a bundt cake pan with baking spray (Grease generously.)
• Add the cake mix and pudding mix to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix the cake mix and pudding mix with a whisk until well blended to prevent the batter from clumping as you add the wet ingredients.

• How to cook the Butter Amaretto Sauce:
• Make your sauce while the cake is cooking.
• Place the butter, water, white sugar, and vanilla extract into a medium saucepan.
• Mix these ingredients together, and then cook the sauce for about five minutes using medium heat (be sure to frequently stir the sauce as it cooks).
• Once the sauce is cooked, remove from heat, and mix the Amaretto into the sauce, and set aside. (The sauce will thicken after cooking.)
• After the cake has cooked and cooled for about 10 minutes, poke holes into the cake, and then pour half of the glaze over the cake.
