This is an extremely good cake, and very easy to make. It also looks a lot more impressive than than the amount of work it takes to make. I do think that this takes longer than 15 minutes to bake though - I ended up baking mine for about 30 minutes before it was done enough, and I determined that by sticking a toothpick in the middle ultimately. (Though I will say it also just looked done after that amount of time too, and it didn't look done at 15.) I also iced the sides of the cake even though the directions say not to, and drizzled it with three melted chocolate bars, not just one. I suspect two would also be enough, but one definitely isn't if you want to use the drizzled chocolate. (It's something that I don't think *has* to be done, though.) And the amaretto was not at all too overpowering for us, so my suggestion would be to use the full amount. In terms of creamer, I used the liquid amaretto flavored creamer. I suspect the cake part itself would also be very good with other icings if you didn't want to use the one included with the recipe - even just the cake part is very good. It was greatly enjoyed by all of us, and I will definitely make this again.
