I am giving this cake five stars just for the cake alone since I thought this turned a boring cake mix into a really yummy cake. I felt that the amaretto frosting was a bit too intese for me so I only spread a very thin layer on top ( I didn't poke any holes in it ) and I also did not put as much amaretto in it as called for, instead I added some water. I think this cake would be fine without any frosting at all; just a little whipped cream and fruit would be delicious. -
I made this for Christmas Eve.,everyone loved it, and it was amid alot of other baked goods. I am very choosey about the recipes that I keep, this one is a keeper. -
Delicious. I made it exactly as directed, and this cake turned out moist & melt-in-your-mouth perfect. It didn't have a very strong amaretto flavor; the amaretto-confec sugar icing just soaks through it to keep it sooo moist. The batter is really thick, so make sure you smooth it evenly into your bundt pan.

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more.

I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps.
I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard.

This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off.

Beau works a long week. He's relaxing finally, after a beer.

I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews.
5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here.
4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests.
3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again
2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions
1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!)
