Almond Amaretto Bundt Cake

This Almond Amaretto Bundt Cake is soft, moist and full of delicious almond flavor! It’s easy to put together and hard to resist!

I’m a big fan of the icing on this cake too. Unlike a standard glaze that kind of soaks into a cake and disappears, this icing stays in place and looks beautiful for days. It’s cooked on the stove for a few minutes, then thickened with powdered sugar and drizzled over the cake. So good! I’ve used corn syrup in place of the honey in other versions of this icing, but since not everyone loves or has access to corn syrup, the honey is a nice replacement. You could use either though.

I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we did. The flavor is on point!
