I can almost taste this now, except I don't have a yellow cake mix, boo hoo! Hey, does any baby boomer remember a recipe from scratch that contained sour cream,, butter, or margarine, orange extract, lemon extract, and almond extract? I have part of a newspaper clipping with the recipe, but the Amt. of butter, sugar & eggs, & sour cream are missing, & i don't know how to re-create it. It calls for 3 cups of sifted flour & a 1/2 cup of Amaretto, too! It was sooo delicious, as will this recipe be. Terri

I made this as a house warming gift for a friend. she shared with everyone that was over and the LOVED it. her husband who doesn't like cake ate 3 pieces!!! they have already requested i make it again for tomorrow so that's what i'm doing. the only thing i did was add a little coconut rum to the amaretto and used vanilla extract instead.
