Amaretto Pound Cake

I made this last month for our annual cousin gathering.  Yesterday my cousin reminded me that I still hadn't posted the recipe...

So here ya go.

My hairdresser was sweet enough to share this recipe with me a few years ago, and I love it.  She said it's an old Southern Living recipe that she's been making for years, and she passed it along to me.

The cake is simple to make and unbelievably moist.  I must say that my cousins loved it.

Amaretto Pound Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
3/4 cup amaretto liqueur
1/4 tsp almond extract

6 T amaretto liqueur
1 cup powdered sugar

Mix together ingredients for cake.  Mix for about a minute until completely combined.  Pour into a well-greased bunt pan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few crumbs sticking to it.

Whisk together the glaze ingredients.  Use a toothpick (or the tines of a fork) to poke holes in the cake while it's still in the pan.  Pour the glaze on top.  Let the cake sit for 2 hours in the pan before inverting on a cake stand.  Cool completely before slicing.
