Golden Amaretto Cake…

I am not a huge fan of Amaretto. This recipe makes a wonderful tasting cake, since the ingredients are almost exactly like the Chocolate Kahlua cake.
Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix,
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 6 ounce box of vanilla pudding, instant
4 eggs
3/4 cups Amaretto liqueur
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
6 tablespoons of Amaretto liqueur
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend well.
Pour into buttered and floured 9 ½ inch Bundt pan. Bake 45 minutes
While the cake is cooking, combine 6 tablespoons of Amaretto and 1 cup sifted powdered sugar.
 After removing cake from the oven, do not remove from pan.

 Take a knife I suggest a slicing blade and poke holes in the cake.
Pour the Amaretto and powdered sugar mixture over the cake. If the Amaretto mixture is pooling on top you probably need to add more holes.
Allow cake to cool for two hours in pan before removing.
