my husband recommended i crush some walnuts and pour it in the batter. it looked so delicious that i had to try it right after i took it out of the oven. my husband tried it after it cooled and he suggested i gave it another try. it was good. fyi: *cool it before you eat it. *the height of the cake is half the size of a regular bundt cake; it's short.

This was really good and really easy to make. I didn't have a bundt pan so I used an angel food cake pan and it worked great!!! Everyone loved it, and it was great for a dessert and for a morning snack!! :) I will definitely keep this recipe...

Made this cake last weekend. It was awesome. Boyfried loved it and guest also raved about it. I agree with others that the cake should be made a day ahead. Was much better the 2nd day. Next time, I will try glazing the cake after removing it from the pan.

This is the first time in maybe 25 years I've baked a cake using a box mix. I won't do it again. Although the almond flavor is there the texture and taste come from the box.

Sprinkle 2/3 cup slivered almonds in the pan before adding the batter. Cool completely and remove from pan before glazing. The nuts and shimmer from the glaze give a nice, finished look.

This was good - very moist. I would add more almond extract next time, though. Thanks!

This cake was wonderful - I am told it is the best cake I have made (and I have made many good ones!). I used cheesecake flavored pudding mix and I did change the glaze to be more like a rum cake sauce I make: 1/2 stick unsalted butter, 1/3 to 1/2 c of amaretto, and 1 cup granulated sugar...put all in a pot and bring to a boil, then pour over hot cake while still in pan. DELICIOUS!

I fixed this for my Mother's 82nd birthday dinner and it was a big hit!! I thought the glaze idea was a little weird and I, too, agree, when you put the cake on the plate after taking it out of the pan, it looks boring. So I just dusted it with powdered sugar!

I was hoping for something that was quick, easy & a substitute for homemade. With all the additions, it still tasted like it came straight from the box. All Recipes took the "no rating" option out--or I would have used that. If you like the boxed cake taste then you will probably like this one alot.

Moist, delicious, just the right amount of amaretto, not too strong. It is the perfect holiday cake.

I baked the Amaretto Cake for the first time just to try it out to see how good it really is, and it was very good, so I baked it again for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, it is so easy to just throw it in one pan and bakeit, cool, and turn it out of the bundt pan and its ready to eat.

I baked this cake and I think it's going to be absolutely delicious. However, I'm wondering if there wasn't a slight miscalculation for the glaze. 1/2 cup Amaretto to one cup of powdered sugar just doesn't turn out like it should for a glaze. I'm wondering if Shawn meant one box of powdered sugar.

With the great reviews this cake got, I thought I had a winner, so I made 2 cakes...1 for my family and 1 for a housewarming gift. It was so ordinary...a boxed yellow cake mix...and that's exactly what it tasted like, that I was embarassed to give it as a gift, so I didn't. My husband took ours to work, and the other one went in the trash. I won't be making this cake again.

This recipe is great. My sister-in-law had just been told she was cancer free and we had a party for her. I took this cake and they devour it. Now this is her favorite cake.

Cake was real moist and good flavor but the outer appearance did not look appealing, i added some glaze to the top also but it just soaked in the cake, will make again but would like other suggestions for topping.
