Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease a 10-inch (12-cup) bundt pan, being sure to coat all of the nooks and crannies. I suggest using a non-stick baking spray that has flour in it, or greasing the pan with shortening or butter, then dusting it with flour. Set pan aside until needed.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk well to combine then set aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add in the sugar, then increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the amaretto and almond extract.
- Reduce the speed to medium-low, then add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and add in the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Turn mixer off.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees (F) and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown AND a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan, set on a wire rack, for 20 minutes. Then invert the cake onto the rack and cool completely.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-speed until completely smooth. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, beating until all of the sugar is completely combined. Add in the salt, amaretto, and almond extract and beat smooth. Beat in the heavy cream. Once all of the ingredients have been incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat for two minutes.
- Spread frosting on the top and sides of the cooled cake. Top with sliced almonds. Slice and serve, or store in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 3 days.

AMARETTO ALMOND CAKE
This was a cake I came up with in my bakery. At Christmas time we made this cake in sheet pans and torted it and carved it into a yule log. We then frosted it with amaretto mousse with ground almonds in it. It looks just like a birch log. They got decorated with pine boughs and meringue mushrooms. We did the chocolate yule logs...
