This was great, but super duper sweet! I usually make about another 1/3 of the glaze to put on the cake. Instead of pre-packaged frosting, I used 3oz cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Put it in a plastic bag and drizzle over the cooled cake. Be sure to use the cheapest ammaretto you can find! I first used Disarono, ($25) and got two cakes out of it. I have found ammaretto as cheap as $6 for the same amount, and you can't tell the high quality amaretto from the cheaper brands. Thanks for the recipe.

This is good but not awesome. I made this for valentine's day and I enjoyed it, but I did find myself eating most of it as my husband only had one slice. We ended up throwing some away. Next time I think I'd make it half the size, just one round, as 2 rounds was too much for us.

YUMMY! Much better than I was expecting. Very rich and dense cake once the glaze is put on but so good. Everyone asked for seconds!

Holy Moly people. If an "almondy, amaretto-ish" cake is what you're in the mood for, it doesn't get any tastier or easier than this one! I only had sugar free white chocolate pudding, but you couldn't even tell once the batter was mixed up. Other than that, my only change was I added a 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I just knew that would go beautifully up against the warm, nutty amaretto flavor. What a winner! I didn't have any frosting so I whipped up a batch of cream cheese frosting and added some amaretto to it also. Oh my gosh...YUM. This one is a keeper.

It tasted delicious, but man did I feel ridiculous spending hours making this and half of the cake came out of the bundt pan, while the rest hung on for a bit more fun? I had to improvise, so I cut out the rest of the cake (for shame), and didn't frost it (couldn't). I layered it in a flat portable cake dish, and mixed cool whip and crushed raspberries to layer on top. I sprinkled unmixed raspberries on top of that. It tastes good, folks, with no frosting and the fresh berries, if you're worried about the "sweet" factor. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the bundt disaster, after having to take forever to cook stuff. I feel like it's a one shot deal!

Made this cake for a family birthday and it was a great success. I personally found it a bit too sweet, but I was the only one. Everyone came back for seconds and I could see my husband trying to discourage people from having more (so he could have the leftovers!) Thank you for a recipe that I know I will be making again and again!

I followed the directions and used powdered sugar on top instead of frosting and slivered almonds in fear of the cake being too sweet. The cake smelled wonderful, and it tasted heavenly. I received so many compliments and everyone went back for seconds and thirds! I will absolutely make this cake again.

I made this cake for my husband that doesn't like milk chocolate. He and I both loved it. I used both glazes and thought it was great. My husband likes it with ice cream as well. I forgot to mix the chips in the batter, so added them on the top of the cake after it baked for 15 minutes. Turned out good that way too!

This cake had really great flavor, even though neither my husband nor I could really taste the chocolate. I greased and floured the pan and the cake came out with minimal coaxing. As a previous reviewer said, poke as many holes into the cakes as possible; I thought I poked a lot, but a lot of the glaze ended up on the bottom of the cake and it would have been better in the cake itself. When I make this again, I will probably use either the glaze or the frosting but not both; it was a little too sweet for us. Great cake overall, though.

I brought this to a dinner party along with another dessert from this website. Both were gobbled up, but this cake was for sure the favorite. People could not stop talking about it and some went back for thirds! I followed the recipe exactly. I did use Pam with flour to prevent sticking and threw in some chopped white chocolate chips for added gooeyness. I know I will be making this often!

I made this cake for a church function. I did not have a bundt pan, so I used a tube pan which worked out fine. I did grease and flour the pan but the cake still stuck even after the 2 hr cool time. Next time I make it, I will

I took this cake to a large family Easter dinner and everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe. It turned out fabulous and not too difficult to make. I had no difficulty with the cake sticking to the pan at allas others have said. (i sprayed liberally the "pam with flour for baking" and the cake slid right out. I used a little more amaretto and less water than the recipe calls for and i added a cup of white chocolate chips to the batter. DELICIOUS AND AMAZING--you won't be disappointed.

I do a lot of baking, especially cakes. I was so excited when I prepared this recipe. I skipped the glaze, and used my own amaretto flavored buttercream icing instead. I was disappointed when I tasted it; the flavor was good, but no better than results I get with packaged mix that has pudding it it. Thanks for the recipe.
