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. Heat 1/4 cup of the prepared frosting in the microwave for 10 seconds, to soften. Place the cake on serving dish and use a spoon to drizzle the softened frosting over the cake. Scatter toasted almonds over cake before frosting cools.

CHOCOLATE & CHERRY AMARETTO CAKE
This is one cake that I never seem to get a slice of. The process is long but the outcome is fantastic...so I have heard. The recipe does have three parts to it; Cherries, Cake & Icing

Steps:
- 1. Day Before: Pour the cherries into a medium sized bowl with a lid and add 1/4 to 1/2 a bottle of amaretto, stir gently not to break the cherries but bled the amaretto in well. Place them into the refrigerator for 6- 24 hours: Longer is better!
- 2. The Cake: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 3- 9" Round pans with baking spray and set them aside.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and amaretto until it is light and fluffy. In a separate bowl blend together flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and espresso; mix together well.
- 4. Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately to the creamed mixture until everything is well incorporated. Pour the batter evenly into the 3 prepared pans and bake for 26-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
- 5. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for at least 15 minutes before removing for the pans. Note: If you add more amaretto, just use a little less buttermilk to balance the moisture.
- 6. The Icing: break the chocolate into pieces and place it into a glass bowl. Microwave for one minute intervals, stirring between until it is all melted (usually 3x does the trick) set the chocolate aside. Cut the butter into 48 tablespoon pieces, place in a bowl and set aside so that it can become room temperature. Note: because you are using two butters you may have to soften them up a little more by placing them in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
- 7. In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar, egg whites,cream of tartar and salt. Carefully combine them but do not beat them. Place the mixing bowl over a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes or until the egg & sugar mixture is warm not hot to the touch. Place the mixing bowl on to the mixer and whisk on high until the meringue holds a stiff peak.
- 8. Turn the mixer down to medium and begin to add the butter one piece at a time scraping down the sides often. Note:make sure each piece is well blended before adding another or you will end up with huge clumps of butter in your icing.
- 9. Add in the chocolate, vanilla, espresso powder and amaretto and beat for another minute or until everything is mixed in well, scrape the sides to get all of the chocolate and butter off the sides of the bowl.
- 10. To assemble the cake, place a dollop of icing and place your first layer bottom down onto the dollop, lightly frost the layer and add 2 layers of boarder: I usually use a piping bag to do this; I refer to it as the great wall. Spoon the cherries evenly into the pocket you have formed; fill the whole space but do not use too much liquid. Place the second cake layer, bottom down over the cherries like a cap and very gently press down to seal the cherries into the pocket you have created. Frost the entire cake. Using a pastry bag with a star tip, add a ring of stars close together to form a pool on top of the cake, spoon in the rest of the cherries making sure you do not put too much liquid. Decorate the sides with sliced almonds or dried cake crumbs....be creative. Enjoy!
- 11. Notes: The smallest bottle of amaretto available is 750ml, or a nip, use about a 1/4 to 1/2 a bottle to soak the cherries depending on how many cans you use. cover the cherries and gently stir them to be sure the amaretto is mixed in well.

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO CAKE
A friend of mine wrote this recipe down on a small scrap of paper. She swears it is TO DIE FOR!!. I haven't made it yet so I wanted to post it here for safekeeping and will add it to my ever growing list of "to try" recipes. If you try it before I do please let me know what you think. 6/4/07 Edited: I made this cake and wanted to add helpful comments. The recipe as is makes more batter than you will need for a bundt pan. I would fill the bundt pan half way & then use the rest for cupcakes. Also, after cooking for 56 minutes the edges started to burn so I took it out. I think the problem was too much batter & it rose too high out of the pan. When I tested it with a toothpick it didn't come out completely clean, but it was done on the inside. Also, I would crumble the almond paste and beat it with the liquids and then add the cake mix & pudding. You will get a more evenly mixed batter. I also have to question the necessity of 2 cans of almond paste. I'm going to try it again with just one & compare. Anywho, I just wanted to give a few pointers from my experience. Additionally, DH really liked it a lot so I guess it will be a "regular" from now on.

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO POUND CAKE
Dusted with confectioner's sugar, this appears to be a simple pound cake...however, in the mouth it is anything but simple! This cake is moist, dense, and very chocolatey-almondy-buttery..... just down right delicious!! I have been making this recipe for years and like to serve it with real whipped cream. This is another creation by Boston caterer, Ellen Helman, from The Uncommon Gourmet.
