My choice this month for the Cake Slice was Amaretto-Almond Pound Cake. The other choices were Banana split cake, Luscious Lemon cake, and a Cinderella Cheesecake. It was a tough choice this month trying to decide which recipe to choose. In the end I baked the one I had ingredients for.
Nut cakes are always a hit with the hubby. I don't think he could ever get quite enough of them. He's always hoping my Cake Slice choices consists of nuts. And constantly reminds me to double, even triple the nuts in the recipe. Not going to happen.
The cake baked nicely. And the glaze gave it the final finish it needed. I suggest saving a tad bit of it to brush on top of the cake after its inverted. This would give it a better presentation.
We had 1/2 the cake while still warm, then finished it off the next day. I preferred it the next day. The texture was dense and the flavors were perfectly balanced.

Your cake looks beautiful and so moist. Will remember the tip to save some of the glaze for the top once inverted. Bet your hubby wanted more nuts, but I think it looks perfect.
I agree, the next day it was twice as good. Instead of one big cake I bake mini bundts and had glaze leftover for the top and it was a perfect touch. Love that picture with your cake bathing in the glaze!
Anabel...your cake looks so pretty! I love those almonds crowning the top! And it looks super moist! Thanks for giving us some great choices this month! Looking forward to next month's cakes! : )
Your amaretto almond cake looks a-mazing, Anabel =) How nice to have a husband who is a fan...and encourages nutty flavors and crunchiness =)
Love the crumb of your cake and the lovely layer of nuts on top. Another great cake from you! Love our current book.
Anabel, your cake looks so deliciously tender! Wonderful cake!
I bet that was divine when it was warm!
I seriously need to try making a pound cake sometime! This looks delicious!
