Great cake! Watch closely for doneness - it's easy to overbake this cake. Thanks for the recipe!

This cake is delicious, I made it for X-mas eve. and everyone loved it! I only added one Tbs. of almond extract and that seemed to have just a nice hint of flavor. It also turned out very moist. A for sure Keeper!!! Thanks Judy!!!

Great tasting cake and super easy! While I did dust it with powdered sugar, it would've been beautiful garnished with some strawberries as well. Add a little ice cream or whipped cream and YUM! I used mini chocolate chips so that the chips wouldn't sink in the cake while baking and I probably use closer to 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 cups of chips instead of 1 cup. I didn't have enough almond extract for the full 2 tbsps., so I used amaretto to make up the difference and added more. I probably used closer to 3-4 tbsps. total of extract and amaretto. I will definitely make this cake again for it's ease, convenience, and taste! Way to go, Judy!

Loved this recipe! I agree with Kimar that the baking time needs to be reduced by 10 min, but otherwise it was moist and delicious. The hubby loved it!

I have made this cake a few times and every time, people love it. I think it is the most delicious cake I've ever made and its so simple. I top the cake with a chocolate glaze which makes it even more yummy!

This was easy and REALLY good. It does not have a pound cake texture, but I didn't care. I DID add all the almond extract and didn't find it overpowering. Actually, I wanted to make a ridiculously rich birthday cake for my husband, so I layered this cake with a butterscotch cake (also on this site) with whipped cream frosting between the layers and chocolate ganache over the top. Insanely good. I will definitely make this cake again (by itself or in combination).

This worked great for a QUICK dessert for a meeting. Did not taste like a pound cake or even like amaretto, but it worked out just fine. Thanks for sharing!

While I wouldn't call this a chocolate amaretto cake, it was truly a great chocolate almond cake. I thought 2T of almond flavoring might be a bit overpowering, so I used only 2t. I baked it in a tube pan for 50 minutes, and it was done to perfection. This recipe is simple, tasty, very moist and best of all verryyyy chocolatey. My family loved it. Thanks Judy.
